Interior Design Bedroom Story
"Interior design bedroom?" she asked me. I looked in her glowing blue eyes and saw that
twist of emotion that always occurred right before she burst out laughing at my ideas.
"We live in a one bedroom apartment, and you want to give us an interior design
bedroom?" She doubled over in laughter and fell out of her chair.
I did not care that our small pseudo-studio apartment was not the height of living spaces.
My wife and I married on a brisk April afternoon five short months ago, and daily we
stepped over boxes of her clothes and crates of my books. I desired a change in our
living quarters, and I thought that convincing her to take a weekend design course
focused on the bedroom might help us organize. Our room needed it as messy as it was.
I explained my thoughts to her the best way I knew how, and after she gave in to what
she sweetly called my "designed puppy-dog eyes," I began preparations for our class.
The materials were not what I expected - a book of graph paper, a ruler, and a box of
colored pencils - but I had this feeling that were on to something big. The day finally
arrived when we'd begin learning to design the perfect bedroom setup; I was psyched.
The class was only an hour in length, but we learned more than we expected. "Do you
really think our bedroom has the possibility to look like the pictures in those design
books?" she asked on the ride home. I knew that the room where we slept probably
would not ever look quite like the sprawling examples from our lesson, but I did look
forward to the attempt.
Besides, it would be really quite nice to be able to walk from the bedroom to the
bathroom without tripping into boxes and crates of Dickens and brassieres.

The Challenges Of Commercial Interior Design
A commercial interior designer faces a diverse amount of challenges that are quite
different from those of the residential, or home, interior designer. Many specialties and
subspecialties are the focus of the commercial designer, and each usually requires
concentration in various genres and industries. From there, the designer can continue to
narrow down to specific designs (i.e. hotel bathroom, retail lobby, high-rise office).
The business interior designer may be self-e ...

underneath, lime-green paint from the 1970's on the walls, and a strange unknown smell.
