Week 1...Here We Go!!!

This semester, I am taking Residential I, Commercial I, and History of Furnishings. Res I and Comm I are in the classroom from 8-5,on Tuesday-Thursday; History is online. We are in class for 10 weeks. We get done in the end of July. 

For our residential project, we are designing and space-planning our teacher, Holly's, house in Mid-Century Modern/Danish Modern.It is going really well at the moment, I am almost caught up for the week's checklist. I am enjoying finding the pieces to put into the space. And getting to talk to Holly about what she and her 

husband , Mark, are looking for in their space. 

For our commercial project, we are redesigning the Auditorium and Gallery are in the Library/ Resource Center at RCC. We have been broken into 2 groups. I am in a group with Amarinh, Alex, and Kerri Beth. We are all going to show off our different skills, and create a design that the school will want to make a reality. It is our first project where we have a budget, so that will be interesting! We have only been doing research and brainstorming this week. I'll let you know how it is going!

Week 1 is over, and it is a little hard focusing on schoolwork when the weather is nice, and friends are home from school. The thing that spurs me on, is that I am graduating in the spring, and that I am enjoying what I am doing. I did come home today and crash on the bed, but we can work on the "at home" schedule when things start to pick up. I'll hopefully post once a week, but it depends. Have a great weekend!!!

Back to the Grindstone!

This was my view for the past week. I went to Myrtle Beach with my family for vacation. It was relaxing and i got a splendid tan! As I said in my last post, we weren't sure what the weather would be like. And to our surprise... there was only 1 day that was dreary all day. On one of the other days, it showered a little. but overall, it was amazing weather!

But may I be frank, I missed my routine! I missed having things to do. The past few weeks have been so busy, I had forgotten how to do nothing! Last week was my first week of break, and I did nothing, and may I say it was fantastic. But still, I like having things to do, to keep me busy. That is why I'm excited about school on Tuesday, even though it is the summer and school is from 8-5...still, it keeps me busy. It also helps that I like what I am doing with my life right now. 

Anyway, I think that is enough for now. There is more to come next week. I'll let you know how school is going!

Graphic Presentation Living Room

In Graphic Presentation this semester, we worked on a living space that we designed for ourselves. It was our first take at color rendering. We did a good job, for first timers! We also learned about board presentation and things of that  nature, like having a name card, and legends. I picked the Chocolate colored fabric to offset the walls, and the turquoise fabric to compliment the brown.

Freedom!

We are on break at the moment! This means 2 weeks of freedom! This week I cleaned the house for my mom's Mother's Day present, because she wanted it cleaned before...WE GO TO THE BEACH!!!!!!!!!

Yes, that's right! We are leaving on Saturday and staying for a week! The Weather Channel says that it will be rainy and cloudy most of the week, but we are hoping they are wrong. I can't wait to get a fantastic tan!!!!!  Anyway, I am excited about getting out of town, and completely relaxing week after the last 2 weeks that I've had! I'll let you know how the weather was when I get back! Have a great week!!!!!

Whole Foods

We did a commercial re-design for Whole Foods Market. They wanted Eco-friendly and green to go with their logo.
 In the lobby, we placed cork tiles on the floor, and white ceramic tiles on the focal wall behind the logo. The green fabric is what is on the sofa and chairs. There are also coffee tables in the lobby for magazines and handouts from local growers.
In the boardroom, we have the light wood on the floor, and the dark wood for the tables. There is seating for 40 in the boardroom. The white fabric is a drapery sample for the window wall, and the green and brown vinyl are for the chairs around the tables.

1 MORE WEEK!!!!!

I now have 1 more week left of this semester! Thank goodness!!!!! This has been a stressful week, and I'm glad it's over. My schedule for the upcoming week is hectic, but let's say on Friday, new posts of final projects will be put up on here.

A tragedy happened later in the week. Some boys that I went to high school with were in an accident and killed. Pray for their families as they go through this trying time.

I'll check back with you guys soon!
