The idea from Damar from Nairobi:

Hi, I would like a bed. White or distressed white in colour, high quality hard wood length 190cm by width 152cm. See attached images for inspiration we can further discuss.

Paul Kiarie 26 Jul 2022 3:38 pm
Hello Damar I am happy to provide an offer for your idea. I would suggest going with a hardwood such as bluegum or mahogany wood which is very strong and resilient with the latter being costlier. And thereafter can paint the bed white for a glossy finish or scour the paint to give it a white distressed look. I can do either of the two beds whose photos you've attached.
Damar 27 Jul 2022 10:20 am
Dear Paul,

Thank you for your response. I am leaning more towards the first option. Kindly let me know how much it would cost for both bluegum and mahogany.

Paul Kiarie 27 Jul 2022 11:43 am
Hello Damar I hope you are well, the first is an excellent option. For the bluegum wood it would cost 42,000 ksh and for the mahogany it would cost 47,000ksh. I can finish it with pure white paint, finish it with a distressed white look or match the colour in the photo depending on which you like best.
Damar 27 Jul 2022 3:15 pm
Let's go with the mahogany, with the distressed white look as per the image shared.
Paul Kiarie 27 Jul 2022 6:43 pm
Hello Damar…well noted. I have lowered my price to 43,500 ksh which includes delivery but that's my price as the craftsman and does not include Urban change lab's fees such as advertising and handling. What do you think?
Damar 28 Jul 2022 9:04 am
The offer is fine, I would however like the final bed to be delivered directly to me instead of first to the local operations manager. Is it possible that way I save up on double transportation?
Paul Kiarie 28 Jul 2022 10:24 am
Hello Damar I hope you are well, that's very possible and it'll be delivered directly to you.
Damar 17 Aug 2022 9:59 am
Dear Paul,

I'm still waiting for my CC to be processed by the bank, once done I'll complete the order.

Thank you.

Paul Kiarie 17 Aug 2022 10:30 am
Hello Damar, I hope you are well. thank you for your feedback and eagerly awaiting to make you something beautiful.

Hello Damar I hope you are well, I have received the cash and will begin the realization early next week .
Damar 22 Aug 2022 8:05 am
Thank you!
Paul Kiarie 22 Aug 2022 10:00 am
Hello Damar, you are very welcome.
Damar 12 Sep 2022 9:16 am
Hi Paul, Could you share some update on the project?
Paul Kiarie 12 Sep 2022 10:03 am
Hello Damar, I hope you are well. My apologies I have been unwell for a bit but the bed is making good progress and should be done by end of this week.
Damar 12 Sep 2022 10:34 am
Thank you for the update
Paul Kiarie 13 Sep 2022 9:03 am
Hello Damar, here is the headboard pattern completely assembled
Damar 14 Sep 2022 9:42 am
Thank you!
Paul Kiarie 14 Sep 2022 7:56 pm
Hello Damar, here's an update on the bed so far…some few finishing touches left along with sanding and then will paint the bed
Damar 19 Sep 2022 8:24 am
Thank you!
Paul Kiarie 19 Sep 2022 3:27 pm
Hello Damar, I hope you are well…i noticed that the colour of the bed you sent is a bit more on the yellowed side rather than white so I painted the bed two different shades to see which one you'd like better… I have attached the photos, would you prefer the distressed whiter one or the yellowed one?
Damar 20 Sep 2022 10:43 am
Dear Paul,

I'm thinking we do a complete white bed without the distressed effect. Let me know!

Paul Kiarie 20 Sep 2022 2:27 pm
Hello Damar I hope you are welll… okay I will give it a few coats of paint and it should be ready for delivery on Friday
Damar 26 Sep 2022 1:43 pm
Hi Paul, we can organize for delivery this coming Saturday? 1st October 2022
Paul Kiarie 26 Sep 2022 2:21 pm
Hello Damar, yes we can. Could you send me the location pin as well?
Damar 27 Sep 2022 5:07 pm
I'll share on whatsapp.
