So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Learning About Interior Design

By Nathan Wolpind


If you are one of those people who begin moving furniture around in your mind whenever you enter a room, or like sketching indoor dcor, you may just be someone with a flair for interior design. But having an interest in this field does not necessarily mean you can go ahead and produce your own business cards. Deciding to pursue this as a profession will require you to enroll in a course from an accredited interior design school. You also have the option to physically attend class in a college or university or get your degree through distance learning which will allow you to study online from your home and at your own pace.

To learn all about interior design, is to learn not only about textiles, textures and colors but knowledge of the commercial aspects as well. The curriculum will cover a variety of subjects. You should not be surprised to find out that classes are not limited to the actual discipline. Courses include drawing, drafting, basic color theory, marketing and business ethics. You will be trained to apply the latest techniques and even how to combine elements to produce a fine piece of art. Acquiring business acumen will equip you to handle the business side of the profession. This includes identifying how much to charge as well as handle the challenges of demanding and difficult customers. You will be introduced to lighting and how this affects a room. You will be taught the basic principles in design and how you can use these to come up with an impressive display. You will be able to practice the skills needed through hands on work and interact with other students and exchange ideas while doing group projects. This is also the best venue to build your network which will definitely come in handy in the future.

After the hard work and the degree, you can hone your talents by applying for a job at a professional design firm or you can take the leap and begin your own business. If you are able to persevere, take on the challenges that may come and learn from your mistakes, then it will definitely be an exciting venture.

As construction increases, so does the need for design services. More and more people deem it a necessity to employ the services of interior designers, or at least apply some principles of design to their home, shop or office. They are most likely to hire the services of someone who has a solid background and that includes a topnotch education. Your credentials will open more doors for you and give you more opportunities to earn and further enhance your abilities.
