design school projects: year 2

these are all from my first year as

an interior design student/second year in

the design department.

ugh.

renderings.

blech.

i don't think i've mentioned how much

i hated doing renderings yet, have i?

oh. 

i have? 

several times?

yeah, well...that's how much i hated doing them.

i literally cringe 

when i look at these.

but, what can i say?

it was difficult to do, and these were

my first attempts.

you have to start somewhere, right?

this one really got damaged in storage.

it's interesting to see this space and how i chose

to lay it out. i would do something completely different today.

i'm missing the floor plan and finish board for this one.

during my 2nd year in college, i was able to take a

furniture design class

from milo baughman.

it was by probably my favorite class in college.

i loved every second of it.

the next year, milo offered an advanced furniture design class, which i also took,
along with woodworking and upholstery (twice).

(aww...look, there i am, in all my oversized-shirt and
light wash denim glory, hacking away at some innocent
piece of furniture.)

i wish i had some of my projects from the advanced
furniture design class.
 but many of them were either on the computer, 
or sculptures, and in the process of one of our moves, they got lost.

i ended up getting to know mr. baughman a little better, 
when he asked me to be his intern.

it was my first experience with 
"real" interior design: 
meeting clients, ordering and 
measuring things 
"for real". 
it was an amazing experience.
sadly, he has since passed away.
