One Room, Two Ways
We asked two interior design teams to turn an unused space into an ideal teens’s playroom. With a $3,000 budget, they each created a retreat for kiddos to play, create, hang out, and daydream.
DESIGN NO 1:
CIRCLE Design Studio, LLC
JOHN T.H. DORLINI, CID, LEED BD+C AND THERESA A.C. DORLINI, CID, ASID
We were immediately drawn to the fresh and contemporary design aesthetic of John and Theresa Dorlini, the husband and wife team behind CIRCLE Design Studio, LLC. Based in Roanoke, VA, the dynamic duo creates custom designs for commercial and residential clients throughout Virginia, Washington, D.C., and Maryland.
John and Theresa created a kid zone that is vibrant, stylish, and fun. The sophisticated space feels welcoming for both kids and adults. Storage is the key to keeping this kid’s space organized and uncluttered!

DESIGN NO 2:
Just Perfect
REBECCA DAWSON AND JESSICA PIRONE
Sisters Jessica Pirone and Rebecca Dawson have been entrenched in the local real estate industry since 2007, when they launched a successful home staging business, Just Perfect! Now full-time agents in our Nest Realty Wilmington office, let’s take a look at what they envisioned the space could be.
Jessica and Rebecca created the ultimate teenage girl’s escape. The spacious layout allows her to work on creative projects, do homework, and hang out with friends. We love the pops of color and the cherry blossom wall decal!
