Days 4 & 5: Fun Project time!

Thursday and Friday was really fun because I was assigned a project of my own. I got to pick out my own materials and fabrics for a project. It was really fun to be given that task instead of pricing furniture and scanning pictures and boring stuff. Not that everything is boring. It's a learning process and slightly tedious but hey, that is what happens when you are an intern and it is your first week lol.

But I was able to select the entire bedding and paint swatches for the kitchen/ sitting room of this ladies condo. They had this unique tile/backsplash that was going all throughout the kitchen and I had to select fabrics that correlated with the tile. I have to say that color coordination is my forte in residential projects. I think that everyone has said that I have a good eye for color. I will post pictures of the final selections later...so make sure to check back for updates.

It is different being at a residential firm. I thought I would not like residential at all but I kind of like the firm. I have not dabbled at all in commercial project quite yet but I am sure that they will have a few projects going. One thing that is very common in this firm is that they are always sending out proposals for different clients that need to be finished. Most Fridays, they are scrambling to make sure that all the components that are needed for the proposals are together.

I think, I am not sure that I wrote about it yet but I have done a board. UHHH I am not a fan of the boards. They do look good when they are completed. I think I don't quite like them because I haven't really done any at Ai. The coolest thing is ordering the samples of the fabrics and having them come in and touch and feel the samples for ourselves instead of staring at a screen. They were shocked to know that I did eveything on 11 x 17 prints and not 2 x 3 boards. Haha I never realized how many colleges do things on boards. But hey, c'est la vie!

I am going to get back to work, because technically today is Friday of week 2 but I haven't been catching up with my day to days. Don't worry though, I have written every day down so I'll go back and update soon! This weekend actually! I also have some good news that will be revealed later....hmmm dontcha wanna know?? Check back later :)
