Blood, Sweat, and Tears!!! Interior Design...

So Monday is your first day back to classes, good thing it's nasty outside because it's time for you to get to work!
As we all have said time and time again interior design is by far the toughest program at the school. We have loads of work week after week. we stay up late at night and get up early in the morning, we yell at our computers, cry in class, slice our fingers or even glue them together but when we finish that final detail and add the dimensions to our floor plans the work is done and we are proud!! It's the greatest feeling of accomplishment when we post those annoying gray foam core boards up, and the class wows at your presentation.
We decided to start this blog to connect with student, faculty, and designers. We thought the name "No, we're not decorators" was perfect. Time and time again interior design is called decorating. I as an interior design graduate, feel like we do not get the recognition we deserve for all the hard work we do. Don't get me wrong decorating is a hard job and not everyone can do it, but decorating is just the finishing touch to our grand idea. We go to school to study Architecture, lighting, space planning, Detailing, Drafting/Cad, building systems and codes. I feel that this site can help our department get the message out "no we're not decorators" but, we do it all while looking fabulous!!
