Bedroom makeover

Dear Reader,

Few month ago an 83 years old lady asked me to refresh her bedroom - just a bit. First she wanted to save almost everything she had in that room (especially the handmade green rya rug), but she changed her mind and said goodbye for that precious piece. Project was quite low budget and quick.

She is pretty happy for the result especially the wallpaper she choose. After we agreed how and what to change, I started designing and after very soon I put on my plastic glowes to change the wallpapers (what was quite a job, because there were multiple layers of wallpapers on the walls), fix cracks, paint the walls and made her list to buy/or change. 

Before:

After:

Job is done, customer is satisfied and salary is paid. :-)
Thanks for visiting.

Guestroom

Hi everyone,

Yesterday we had an exciting and quick project at school: designing a guestroom with possible accommodation for 2 or 3 person, for a lady who sew quite a lot, has a dog and overall likes natural light colors, besides of many more requirements.... :-)

Here is my design, where the main colors are pigeon and yale blue, paper white and light oak:

Some details:

Vallila curtain

Aveo wallpaper

Jysk

 Huonekalutehdas Seppänen Oy

Hi Everyone,

Let me show you my first Sketchup model from last spring. Since then I developed as well as the program. :-)) It was just a trial, and I used so many colors however otherwise I do not use many of them. They are not fashionable nowadays (unfortunatelly).

I like how in Sketchup it’s so easy to design using there draw then push and pull method making someone without a background in CAD able to design an object. Designing using measurements is very simple with their tool kit. Sketchup has a great support forum and YouTube video collection. I had no background in using Autocad or Solidworks and within an hour I was drawing shapes and making house drawings.

Sketchup is probably enough good for your DIY projects at home or for beginner interior designers (as me). I will show up with a better design  - I guess so.

Thanks for stopping by
