Is there anyone out there who is an interior designer & an architectural designer?
16.December, 2009
Please tell me everything, how long it took, how hard it was, whether there’s no point in doing both, because being an architectural designer is the same as being an architect and an interior designer, and the best schools that you’ve heard about.
Architects ARE designers…of buildings…not interior, although they often spec interior materials, colors, etc. This is NOT the same as an interior designer, a considerably easier degree to get! Architects have to be building "engineers," know codes, structural materials, strenghts, load bearings, etc. They also must know electircal, plumbing, and HVAC…the whole works.
Is there a store where I can buy "Home Interiors" candles?
16.December, 2009
I really love this candle I have. It is the brand home interiors and the scent is Hot Cinnamon Buns. It is almost finished and I’m not sure where I initially bought it. Does anyone know where you can buy these candles that is not online?
Thank you
Home interiors went out of business so you will probably have a difficult time finding any of their products.
If you can’t find anyone that has Home Interiors candles and are looking for a really good Cinnamon Bun scented candle I would recommend the Cinnamon Raisin Bun scent made by Scent-sations.
Good luck!
I have to choose my work experience options by the 15th Dec, and i’m thinking of doing a ‘creative’ placement, as the job I would like to do is something in the Art/Craft/Design Industry. The two placements I have in mind are Graphic Designer Assistant, 2nd= interior designer Assistant. For 3rd, maybe Hairdresser’s Assistant.
Which one would be more enjoying, and helpful for my future career? Pleeease help ![]()
Stick to the Graphic Design or interior design if you’re interested in the creative aspect. Believe me hairdressing is very predictive, because you’re not going to get people everyday demanding weird and unique hairstyles. Most people would want basic and "normal" hairstyles !!!!
i have an old farm house that i have taken the wallpaper of the walls and the walls underneath are tongue and groove wood. the house is about 150 years old. any ideas or pics of ways to refinish the wood would be great: )
]thanks
I am unable to sand and stain the walls because there is some old damage that will have to have putty. The walls will have to be painted.Was just wondering if there are any cons to leaving the walls this way and if anybody has painted them with good results.
Just sand it and varnish it. maybe stain it also
Why are reasonably-priced houses severely underrepresented in interior design and real estate TV shows?
04.December, 2009
The average person on these TV shows such as those on HGTV and TLC all have $400k+ houses. The average person in reality does not. Why is there such an imbalance in representation?
I watch a lot of the shows and I think to some extent it has to do with the areas where they are mostl likely to film the shows, namely large California cities, Chicago, Altlanta and the Washington DC areas in the US, and Toronto and Vancouver in Canada. Up until this year $400K was the median home price in those areas. I’ve noticed that the newer programs have backed down a bit and there have been more that are oriented towards houses $200K or less.
Also some if it has to do with both "house p*rn" (programmers understanding many viewers’ desire to see how richer folks live) and also that the sponsors whose products get promoted on the shows prefer to have them shown in higher end settings.
At least they seem to have recognized reality a bit more and are doing less of that "your house will appreciate X amount in the market." I can’t help but wonder if that attitude they fostered didn’t help feed people’s unrealistic expectations about the "bubble" market and encourage them to overmortgage their homes to finance the trendy (and largely unecessary) remodels that the shows promoted. I believe the home shows bear a lot of the blame for brainwashing people into the "house as status symbol" mindset and validating the absurd notion that spending $50,000 to tart up a perfectly functional kitchen was a smart use of money. You also gotta love the "green home" shows where they rip out almost new conventional kitchens, adding a huge amount of debris to the waste stream, so they can re-install pricey "green" materials. That’s not "green", it’s just wastefulness in the cause of fashion.
I just painted my house (interior walls). How do I paint rainbow strips (wall art) in my daughter’s room?

The painter said it would cost me Rs. 2500. I find it too expensive. Please advise.
