Michaela's Mutterings - Apr 2011

As you can see from these pictures I have been very busy at Valley Lodge, our care home in Matlock.

The residents’ dining room has a large annexe which was just crying out for a mural. The residents and staff asked for the area to be transformed into a coffee shop. So, having done some rough outline sketches and discussed with residents and staff this was the final design we all settled on.

The residents’ kitchen is accessed via this annex so between main mealtimes the area will be set with checked tablecloths and all sorts of coffee shop table wares.

The responses so far have been fabulous. One resident said the mural made her feel hungery and she felt she could just pick up a piece of the chocolate cake.
