Day 3: You can only go as fast as your eyes will scan...

Wednesday = Hump Day...middle of the week& the time that everything seems to happen!

Today was a busy day as well. Lots to do and complete but not a whole lot of time to do it in. The first thing that I did was an Appliance Spec Book, similar to the ones for Commercials but at the same time a little bit different. You had to pull several appliances from the manufacturer's website and make sure that they were all available and then print the specifications for each appliance. No biggie.

Next, we had to put together a clients binder with all the electrical plans, the cabinetry detail, plumming, materials etc in an oganized binder for everyone who was working on the project. That was interesting to see how a customer's completed project comes together.

After that was completed, I did price sheets again. Pricing comes a lot easier now that I have a general idea of how everything works together, for the most part anyways. It's easy to recognize some of the furniture just by looking at the pictures. That is cool because I feel like I am becoming a small part of the firm...little teeny weeny haha.

We broke for lunch and then after lunch came back with scans and copies of room options for a client. That was interesting because clients have different tastes and visions than the designers, so we had to find a compromising position to let the client choose from. She liked our choices and then was able to come back with a final decision on the furniture we selected.

Next, I worked on some Custom Cabinetry requests. Those were hard because the customer wanted a specific style and specific way of these materials and we were not able to find right away a manufacturere that could do it..but a little hunting around and we did! It was fun and it was a little challenge at the same time which I liked.

Today I also received word about a special project that I would work on Friday so I will let you guys know how that goes :)
