...Changes...

So I finished school at the U. And as a graduation present to myself, decided to apply to go to more school! Hooray!
I spent the last month pulling together my application to LDS Business College, Interior Design program. I had to put together a color board to be accepted into the program. I think it turned out nice. I wanted to make it stand out and not just be on black foam board, so I wrapped the board in canvas so it looked like a linen board.
To maximize space on the 9"X12" board I stacked the upholstery fabrics and made them into a little booklet. I glued the furniture onto the fabric they would be upholstered in.
This is a picture of a collage wall and the accent pieces used to decorate the room. I had my sister write all of the labels, her handwriting is very architectural in style. Does that make sense? It does in my head!
I had to make my own white furniture. I couldn't find a picture I liked. I wanted this trellis wallpaper inside to add some special detail. Love it!
These are the accent colors to be used throughout the room.
My darling husband ripped down a sample of wood so I could make my wood floor into a herringbone pattern. I was scared for Drew's finger tips. He made it out with all his digits. Phew.
I ended up cutting my own dental moulding. Snipped every detail... Worth it... I think so! Well after all this work I got my acceptance letter! Wahoo! Onto the next big adventure!
I can't wait to bump into Hannah on campus. She pretty much runs the school. Trust me! She's even on the website!
