third perspective

Hollywood Regency/French with a twist.

I apologize if the quality is low, they are off of my phone because I was too lazy to break out my camera before turning it in!

Tear Book: Part Seven

Who ever said white = the fear of color/no style?


Tear Book: Part Six

Dear Jenna Lyons. Can I please have your house...and clothes? Actually, could I just pick at your brain like a science project? The End.

circus or chic?


I saw this fabric and I fell in love. I never thought I would like it, but I do! so I picked it up and then I found a brown and cream stripe and I like them together. I think the black print would look legit on a french style open arm chair, all fancy and stuff. Dark woods and gold. Dark walls and lots of accessories and wallpaper. Crazy and out there. lots of mixed patterns...that is what I see. so do you see chic, or am I insane for liking it and would it just be plain old circus. If so, you should probs let me know and I can chunk the stripe and find something else...but even if you hate it, I may still go with it because that is the definition of inspiration. not really, but finding a nothing fabric or thing that everyone else would likely overlook, and then you make it fabulous! That is inspiration.

I can also see it in a baby's room. I think I need to do a post about baby room colors because I have 2 really good ideas of what I want...say I ever get to that stage in my life (which I am not there), but whatever!

plastic or wire?

are you a plastic or a wire coat hanger?
I am a wire...for now. I recently have inherited a few plastic ones.

Happy April Fools!

No pranks here today, but my roommates did kidnap my poptarts this morning. I opened my pantry (a single kitchen cabinet) and 'twas empty!
Funny funny.

Anywho, one of the classes I am taking right now is called Interior Design Presentation or "ID Pres." The project I am working on now, is a rendering of 3 perspectives. What is a perspective you ask...a perspective is how you see the room within a 60 degree angle from where you are standing . We had to pull a picture out of a magazine or off the internet and then sketch/render it. Render is pretty much just a fancy word for coloring while including lighting and shadows. After that first perspective was complete, the rest of the assignment was to design 2 more rooms using the same architecture and furniture pieces while acheiving different styles. I have only finished the first 2, but I was surprised how well they turned out, hence me sharing them.
this was the original picture I chose to copy. {Rue}

This is mine. My favorite parts were: the yellow chair, the knick knacks on the shelves, and a tie between the mannequin, floor, and curtains.

 This is the first of my personal designs. I was going for a bohemian-indie mod thing. I guess the right word might just be odd.

For my last perspective that I am in the process of drawing up, I am pushing for a hollywood regency with a flair kind of style. When I finish it I will post it.
Also in another one of my classes, I had to make a concept baord inspired by Stella McCartney and her designs. I am also really happy how that one turned out, sooo I might post that one too.

Hopefully, posting some of my projects will help me personalize my blog a little more so that it is not just
 another design blog.
