Setting Up Locations: Bedrooms and Staircases

by Josie Kealy

The first day of setting up the location for Nicotine Love has gone pretty well!

After a visit from the generous Bob, we made our way to Grafton Manor to find a suitable location for the dream sequence. After looking at three different staircases we decided to use a beautiful old wooden one in their little chapel. This location will be fun to dress up and give some suitable glamour, and we thankfully have permission to use my new smoke machine which I cannot wait to try out!

This afternoon the transformation of the rooms began, starting with Karen and Jeremy’s room (who have been absolute legends in letting us invade their house & even painted their bedroom yellow – a colour they would rather not keep - ready for our arrival!) I have now completed their room save for a few finishing touches, and I am very happy with the result & thankfully so are they! You can see here the before & after:

The kitchen has been cleared and is currently in the process of its transformation! Cupcakes need to be baked! Armfuls of flowers need to be brought! It’s a tough job.
