I am so excited that I've made it through my first semester of college (again). I love my design classes but what really surprised me what my new found love for school in general. I am finding that history is no longer my worst and most boring subject, but one very exciting and important subject. I have excelled in my Introduction to Interior Design class, and look forward to next semester. </div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">This is a process that I am quite enjoying. Since the fall semester is over, that gives me time to work on some cool DIY projects I have been wanting to do. I have lots of art to hang, and a desk to bring back to life. Don't worry I will share it all with you!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I worked for him for close to 2 years and I learned a lot about design, construction, project management, budgeting, and how to deal with clients. I mean A LOT. Everything I did was hands on, and I soo appreciate that experience.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #f4cccc;">As I research the moves I need to make over the next few years, I realize how important on the job experience is. Its actually a required from the NCIDQ to have a certain amount of work hours under your belt before you can even take the exam to be accredited. Which is awesome because I am half way there! Well I thought I would share some of what I used to do for Kevin Stephens Design Group, and what I loved about it.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #f4cccc;">FYI - Kevin remodels historic homes in a very modern way, and also builds new modern lofts (among other things) I was his assistant/project manager/office manager...and a bunch of other stuff..</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #f4cccc;">One thing I loved was that we took these old historic homes with so much charm and character and brought them back to life in a new and exciting way! I grew up in an older home in a historic neighborhood, so this is dear to my heart.</span><br />
