AHHH relax

I have been trying to nail down some accommodations for our upcoming trip to the beach and boy do I ever have coastal fever. I really do LOVE what is going on in the above photo but it didn't end there so for a bonus how about some images that came from a tiny beach cottage getaway, owned by West Elm's creative director. I love how relaxed this space is...just like how I want to feel when I first lay eyes on the ocean next month.

Happy Friday Folks!

Fresh Peach and Gingercream Shortcakes

Photobucket

Last week we went to pick peaches. I let the kids pick whatever peaches they wanted without saying anything about it not being a good one or not being ripe..Of course I tried to show them which ones were ripe and good but still we only got a handful that were actually edible. I kept having to say in my head, "All that matters is that they have little successes and build happy memories", so we went with that...hence crappy peaches (I have to repeat that in my head often because believe me it is much easier said then done). My camera stopped working before we got to the orchard which was a bummer because the kids all looked so cute carrying their little baskets.

Anyway with the few peaches that we did have I decided to use this recipe. I chose it because it called for ginger ale. To me ginger ale is one of the greatest inventions. I think I have had one everyday for a week now. If you decide to view the recipe I must warn you that these would be a great way to plumpen up any ol skinny kid because there is so much heavy whipping cream involved. I started to laugh when my girl said "Mom now we know how to make home made whipping cream" She was in charge of mixing the cream until it formed peaks and valleys. I love that she thought that making "home made" whipping cream was special.

yummy

Beginning Interior Design

If interior design is the activity that you are considering a possible career, you owe it to yourself to invest the proper amount of time and effort in educating yourself in the field of creative design. If you are interested in learning about creative design for other reasons, such as designing your space or home, it is best to focus your attention on a specific area of design that is pleasing to you.

This being said, if you have time and energy, and would like to know more about the overall design, then hey, go for it! You can become so good at, it might be possible from the profession for you as well!

In any case, and interior design is not the beginning of a banner 'organizer does not have the patience, to learn the basic elements of design and makeup to form a spectrum. It is instead, a work which consists mainly of the educated and professionals who really care about the prestigious and passionate about their work with creativity.

A good starting point for beginning interior design is the subject of much debate in the industry. Many professionals moan and groan that there is a lot of people are not eligible to represent themselves to the consumer and the designers of the project when you do not have formal education in this subject.

I agree that many of the people they represent themselves to an understanding or understanding in this area, while they are clearly incompetent. However, I do not agree that the forms of formal education, templates, best designers. Best designers have the ability to design before you can even understand the concept of interior design.

Beginning of the design procedure of these candidates is to give them essential tools necessary to do what they understand, of course, how to do already. These people are blessed with a sense of interior design creativity. Beginning of the interior design for them is a natural process. These are the designers that seem to excel and outperform all other designers.

If you feel as if you are not a part of this group of talented individuals and still yearning or the driving force to learn more about this growing industry, and then the beginning of interior design is an activity that can be very long as you are open and dedicated to improving your knowledge and understanding of the design.

Start with the basics and push yourself up on a journey to understand the creative process.

There is a reason for a very bad start and interior design is a money-related incentives. I have heard people countless comment on their interest in interior design because of the possibility of income associated with the industry.

Remember, if you do not know anything, and get paid good prospects to do so is not very high. The highest salaries in this business are almost always associated with talented and established designers that made the interior design working life of their own. Talent and knowledge is the key to success in any industry, and one should apply these rules when considering the design procedure and the income-earning activity.

And interior designers come in many forms, backgrounds, and levels of experience. Hard work and dedication, and creativity are the values that you will find in any successful interior designer. Keep this in mind when beginning interior design of any kind, and will assist in your ability. Work of any kind is exactly as described ... Work. Find something you enjoy and love to do is what makes the work rewarding.
