Home Styling - Fostering Edit
We were asked to send photos of ourselves and the house to the FA so they can put them into our profile. It was quite a specific list, I wanted to take styled, Instaworthy pictures but GO said “just use the real estate photos.” This got me thinking about how much some parts of the house has changed, would the old residents approve? Has it actually changed that much?
One photo requested, probably the most important was the photo of the child’s bedroom (is this real?). We sent the photo above, I had taken it to share on social media but never had. We were asked to take another with all of the personal bits in. It makes sense now, what traumatised child wants to walk into a room with a SMILE cushion on the bed? Between this photo being taken and the one we sent GO had sold both of the singles beds (we got them for free on Facebook) as there was a strange, musty smell coming from them, and had bought a more solid white bed. He had also decided to paint the drawers as he said they were too yellow. The new picture show a neutral room, a blank space to add to a place a child can make their own, for how ever long they need it.
