After: Soft purple walls along with bright pink, green and blue accents give the girls the exciting room they wanted, while satisfying their more reserved parents too.

Before: Sharing a desk causes some problems for the girls so Lile plans to separate the two computer stations for more productivity.

Video: See how Krister Lile created a colorful room for two sisters as open to possibilities as he was!
Ashley and Katie Schoonover are girls who know what they want and their white room doesn't cut it. Krister Lile arrives from design school just in time and wants to give the girls a bright, sporty, spunky bedroom by adding lavender to the walls and creating custom cabinets with fun swoops and swirls.

After some miscommunication about the overall design, the homeowners were able to effectively share their desires and Lile came up with a winning scheme that's just what the entire family wanted.

lamps (Flygel work lamp #40018362, Mirker work lamp #20057646), rugs (Ringum pile rug #20030299), desks (Lukas desk #0048318), lockers (PS Cab 47x) (IKEA)

See how Lile's fellow classmates and helpers Loren Jacobs and Liz Maguire did on their episodes of Designer Finals!

Neighbor Cheryl Eissner not only helped with the Schoonover's makeover, she had her own bedroom transformed by another student designer, Malia McGlothlin. Check out the results!
