2 pages of too much

I would recommend throwing in some tiger print items

6/24/2011 2:37:00 PM

^^^^^ you also have to realize for the past two years I worked at poverty wages. I qualified for Foodstamps. so before you go on please not the income was not there so yes it doesn't look amazing and that is why i'm revamping a few things.

Cass I got your replies but i think you were the only one but thanks for the gray color suggestion i tried your suggestion to upload the picture on the website which didn't work too well, did you get the Behr samples and test before you did the whole thing?

@kiljadn furniture is dark espresso not black but there is not a huge dif. btw the two.

Wolfpackgrrr was the one who suggested the website.

And no I didnt get samples. I just went to Home Depot and winged it. I just compared the colors to some others before making a decision.

People confusing interior decorating with interior design, ITT.

6/24/2011 2:40:05 PM

I was actually searching THE INTERNET for good ideas with grey walls

but then I read Foodstamps and stopped

6/24/2011 2:42:13 PM

what's the difference, just accessories vs furniture, paint whole package?

6/24/2011 2:43:44 PM

lol @ the poverty/food stamps

6/24/2011 2:44:34 PM

i got a sweet new bed guise!

6/24/2011 2:44:49 PM

I thought interior design was basically the whole shebang - paint, furniture, style, possibly even new structural changes (i.e., gutting a bathroom or kitchen and redoing everything)

6/24/2011 2:45:49 PM

I wonder if they make a king sized race car bed?!

yeah, but it's a fucking sweet car

6/24/2011 2:46:29 PM

I love having an awesome looking house, but having to make decision about what would look good and what wouldn't. I'd rather leave for a weekend and come back with all of it already done for me.

6/24/2011 2:48:55 PM

[Edited on June 24, 2011 at 2:49 PM. Reason : ]

6/24/2011 2:49:29 PM

Yeah that makes sense sam, since now that I think about it that's what my mom and sister do when they do their interior design stuff

I think this thread is just decorating then

6/24/2011 2:50:01 PM

make sure to get a cb radio so you can talk to other car beds

6/24/2011 2:50:09 PM

Interior Design includes:
Life Safety Plans (Fire escape routes and door sizes)
Floor Plans and layout of furniture
ADA stuff (clearances around doors, tables, the room, etc)
Lighting
Flooring
Ceiling tile or whatever material selection
Sound ratings of walls
Furniture selection (chairs, tables, etc)
Furniture materials (leather, cloth, etc)
Window treatments
Colors


Interior decorating includes:
Deciding what type of shit you put on the walls of your bed room
What comforter you put on your bed

MOST IMPORTANT: You get a Bachelor of Science in Interior Design you don't need a degree to be an interior decorator.

There isn't anything funny about that. I'd tell that to the people I use to help.

[Edited on June 24, 2011 at 2:54 PM. Reason : It should have been interior design and decorating. ]

6/24/2011 2:53:59 PM

you guys keep forgetting about the sweet leopard and cheetah prints

6/24/2011 2:54:31 PM

change some of the pink to grey....you don't wanna go overboard

6/24/2011 2:55:58 PM

did you have a steady job when you were on food stamps, and how were you just earning poverty wages?

6/24/2011 2:56:05 PM

^^the poodle makes that decorating scheme look like shit

6/24/2011 2:57:52 PM

you know the prints could work well together...



AND more ideas for MORE zebra in the rest of the house. outstanding.

6/24/2011 2:58:16 PM

well now that you're making a living wage, it's nice to see that you're focusing on the important things in life

like zebras

6/24/2011 2:58:52 PM

room needs this

6/24/2011 2:59:14 PM

I thought design was like space planning and decorating is the accessories

6/24/2011 3:00:13 PM

I did 2 years working with AmeriCorps so I could give back after I graduated with my M.A. You work for a non profit and get paid next to nothing so you could experience what your clients have to deal with. but yes the wages are so low you can qualify for foodstamps. The work isn't any different from a normal FT job.

[Edited on June 24, 2011 at 3:02 PM. Reason : wow I love all the negativity the female twwers are drawing up!]

6/24/2011 3:00:35 PM

don't forget about your car!

Is that why you're in Cali? Seems like a big NGO would have figured out there's such a thing as cost of living. I mean, the Navy will be giving me more of an allowance for housing cause San Diego is much more expensive than say Jacksonville, FL.

6/24/2011 3:02:00 PM

I actually really like something like this:







If you want to do black and white and color mixing

6/24/2011 3:02:22 PM

Lol linda

Allan, my sister has an associates in interior design (Carteret), so you don't even 'need' a bachelors

6/24/2011 3:02:26 PM

i work for a non-profit and i get paid BANK

6/24/2011 3:02:31 PM

^that's the type of non-profit I need to work for, mine can't even afford bennies

6/24/2011 3:03:47 PM

you like black and white, either go with purple as a third accent color or drop it and go all in.

6/24/2011 3:06:31 PM

6/24/2011 3:07:47 PM

you can't blame the Americorps for having black curtains, a zebra rug, a zebra blanket, a zebra picture AND bed risers!

6/24/2011 3:08:17 PM

6/24/2011 3:09:01 PM
