Hey Brent, I think that the first thing you should do is find out what your state's regulations are for interior design. In some states (like Texas) to be a licensed interior designer there are very specific requirements e.g. education, years in the field, etc. You should have all the facts about what it's going to take to break into the field-then decide what approach is best for you. http://www.accredit-id.org/ this website should be a good resource. Best of luck to you.


Apartment Therapy Boston | Good Question: Design Career Advice?

In college my roommate and I decided that we wanted to "Feng Shui" our apartment, but after a little bit of research I decided it was too complicated. BUT, the one thing I took from it was that hanging a crystal over your front door is supposed to help the flow of chi, so I still do that. It makes me smile.

I've dyed with rit in my washing machine several times. Afterward I just run it once empty with some bleach. Clean and no worries about dying the loads of laundry to follow.

I recently saw some pretty decent small (shorter than 6 ft.) trees at Hobby Lobby.

Along with that clean toilet make sure you get the pubic hairs off the floor, it is astounding how many times I've seen this (but maybe the guys I know are just gross).

bren03, I think you have it wrong I heard that rumor about the UT tower years ago before the Frost tower even existed.

I think from a distance (I35) and an angle at night (because of lighting) the UT tower really does look like an owl. The Frost Bank tower not so much (to me).

Also, I read recently (but can't recall where-maybe a local magazine) the inspiration for city hall was an actual armadillo tail jutting out of a rocky wall or something like that that the architect saw while touring parts of Austin.

What the hell is wrong with a litter box? If you can train a dog to use a mat or puppy pads can't you train it to just use a box?

The light is pretty, but the rest of the decor seems kinda cheesy. That floor and the bamboo(fake?)-Yikes!

I would totally get this because I think it's a lot of fun, EXCEPT for the little butterflies. I think they make it look too young.

I can just see all the spaghetti noodles and other random stuff you would run down the diposal caught up in those things...I'm thinking doing the dishes would be worse.

Hey mannequingirl
Any suggestions as to where I can get those photo boxes, I have been wanting to do something like that for years. Call me obsessive but I have been wanting something uniform, afraid of the plastic for the same reason. And since they are for photos I bet the cardboard is acid free (another concern of mine). Hey I'm a girl who loves her shoes.

Agreed on HGTV...I gave up on it a couple years ago.

Where is...
Candace Olson
Sarah Richardson
Kenneth Brown
Debbie Travis

All the buy me/sell me shows are annoying and Design on a Dime is embarrassing.

I found Design Inc. (Sarah Richardson) on the Fine Living channel a few months ago, but now she's disappeared from that too. Poo.
