365 Day Challenge

Day 1:

I want to post a new picture about design everyday (or every week probably when I get back to being busy with school). Here's the first one:

living wall, living room

Likes: the simplicity, the originality of the stairs, the repetition of the stairs with the shelves, the earth tone color palette, the asymmetrical balance, the color of the wood stain in the whole room

Dislikes: It reminds me of Eva from Wall-E. Seriously. It's innovative, but TOO clean. I would be afraid to let even a speck of dirt to fall in this room or accidentally smudge a plant leaf into the white shag area rug.

College Career

I have one more class to take this fall (History of Interiors II), and I will have a B.S. in Interior Design from Georgia Southern Univeristy (GSU).

I have been so happy with the program here. The teachers are all experienced and knowledgeable in their fields, and I feel like I learned LOTS. Even when I went to product expos and designer conferences, I would talk to students in interior design programs as SCAD, UGA, etc. and felt like I knew tons more then them ( and they were almost done with their program at the time). I would recommend anybody wanting to be a professional interior designer to take the program at Georgia Southern University. It's a HARD program and you have to really want it, but when you finish and realize how much you've learned, it's very rewarding.

I'm glad I came here to GSU, and I will send everyone wanting to do interior design (INDS) here. Also, when I have my own business, I will personally ask for graduate students from GSU because I know that they were taught well, and I have high expectations for them.

I'll miss my fellow studio ladies, and I wish them well in their design fields. I have another two years left because I am also working towards my B.S. in Mechanical Engineering, but I will join them eventually.

My dream job is to one day open my own Wedding Planning/ Interior Design business with one of my best friends and fellow Interior Design graduates, Cory Morgan. We both love the organized chaos that both fields will bring, and we have so much to offer as well. By doing both, we hope to always have some business and to combine our knowledge and personal experiences together to make a solid, long-lasting business.

Pinterest Design Board

This is my Pinterest board on Design. I like to put pictures here that I find all over Pinterest that strike my fancy when I see anything about interior design and occasional graphic design. I tend to write what I like and don't like about each picture. If you want to know more of my opinion on a space, comment on the picture or ask me here, and I can give insight as to why I think it is/isn't good design based off of my education.
