Welcome to www.jimcotrailers.com

i am looking for a game online to decorate rooms/houses.something realistic. i need something for free and preferably no downloads. thanks so much. ps if you know of any that you have to buy or have downloads please tell me anyways.i will choose a best answer!

SIMS 3 =DDD
well the house making part lol

Well, I want to take one of the classes above, I plan on getting a masters degree in one and also being a realistate agent. Do you know some of the things that they would teach in the Interior Design/ Decorating class? Do you know how much a realistate agent that would also decorate these houses make?

Usually to answer the last question first your ‘cut ‘ would be about 10% of the overall clients cost to the contractor. Honestly though, if you’re going to be a real estate agent, then be a real estate agent. Your time is too valuable to mess around being a designer too. Especially if you want to sell commercial real estate, you’re going to need to know about LEED qualifications for building new or remodeling. That’s the reason you build a network of people around yourself. interior designing is more about style and color than construction. that’ s while you rely on your remodeling team.

I am looking to buy curtains for my living room. Most of my furniture is of a light color – beige or light wood. Our floors are also light wood. We have no rug. Our walls are light yellow. And we have a moderate sized light wood-framed poster that is mainly of a blue-ish color. I would like to create a warmer, more homey feeling to the room. What are you suggestions for the color? I’m thinking maybe a dark green or a dark red?? Help from those interior designers out there??

Take a pic of your room and go to HGTV.com ( message boards or forum) and ask the same question and upload the pic– There are a slew of people on that forum that will help you figure it out

I am working on a storyboard for my decorating class. Can anyone help me?? I can’t find a thing on line! I have to have 1) a floor plan of a bedroom 2) co-responding fabrics that I would use and 3) a legend.
Here’s my problems:
1) It is a 1D drawing of the room with the use of stencils for the bed, lamps, (the actual furnature only) etc. How do I show the corresponding fabric I would use for the pillows since I am not supposed to "draw" them onto the actual floor plan of the bedroom?
2) I have only ever done square, simple rooms before, so showing the wall measurements was easy…now I have a balcony, on-suite and walk-in closet? All I have to do is a bed-room..but I wanted to do more. So, do I show the dimensions of everything? If so how? If not, how do I show the dimensions of the bedroom without making the floor plan look too messy?!
Sorry for such a long question, but I knew if anyone could help, it would be you guys! PLEASE help me!
caught doing what……..?? I don’t understand….

OK, here goes…

First mount your drawings to matte board (found in any major craft store). Use a neutral color of board OR one that compliments your color scheme.

For your corresponding fabrics and textures, take a swatch and do 1 of 2 things. Either use pinking shears to cut the squares and mount them flat to the board OR wrap them around pieces of foam core (craft store again) to give the a 3D look. Place them around the drawing, not on the drawing.
Using spray adhesive works well, but be careful and practice first. That stuff and get onto everything if you aren’t careful. When I did my boards, I always took my drawings to Kinkos and had copies made. This way I always had a back up should something go arwy.

Draw your measurement on the OUTSIDE of the walls. Use about a 1/4" space from the wall to your writings.

I hope this helps, good luck!!

what to buy for a girls birthday who likes interior decorating magazines, scrapbooking, and dresses/skirts?
shes turning 14

If she loves interior decorating magazines get her a nice/fancy frame or mirror. Or get her some ornamental things for her room like a vase or candles & candle holders

For scrapbooking if you can dig up some pictures of you guys give her those and go to any scrapbooking/art supply store and get some cute stamps or those cutty things that make cool shapes lol. Cool coloured pens anre good too & fancy stationary.

For dresses and skirts buy her a couple cute skirts (dresses are harder to buy for other people)

hope that kind of helps !!

Anyone here an interior designer? Do you enjoy it? What is the average pay? What are the requirements? Just general information, please.

There are lots of university available in UK and USA providing Associates degree. try search on Google for your desired course. I have one link for you which might help you for your course:

I am looking at going back to school and would like to get into something like this and I guess I thought they were the same. Please explian the difference.

interior design is the design of the space…ie,,, wall placement… window placement,,, partitions,, etc..

interior decoration is the decoration of the space…

hope that helps…

Not looking for something that’s going to be an eyesore in a year. Looking for a theme/motif that is peaceful, makes you feel at home, but has a bit of edginess to it.

We’re in the process of buying a new home and I want to get started on the whole theme of our home. Should each room have its own theme. Central theme throughout the home? Feng Shui? HELP?

I’d be careful about "theme-ing" a whole house… if you get tired of it, you’ve got to redecorate everything. That being said, there’s a lot that can be done along the lines of a "nautical" theme. Literally, think lots and lots of storage, like on boats – every square inch has a practical use. Figuratively, there’s tons of directions you could take the design: think beach (from the more woodsy, lakeside and coastal retreats of Maine to fresh, sunny tropical islands), think cottage style (everything from Florida, to Cape Cod, to the more streamlined West Coast style). Don’t forget Mediterranean, Moroccan, Indian…

do painters use flat paint or a glossy paint on kitchen ceilings? Is either one acceptable to use? Is it ok to use flat? Would it be a negative when you go to sell?

You can paint it however you want, don’t worry. Remember that if it is a more uneven surface, the glossy paint will highlight it. Whether that’s good or bad is up to you. If it is a sprayed or ‘popcorn’ ceiling just use flat. You can scrape off the popcorn otherwise. It is easy, but very messy. Good luck.
