Bee-utiful day

 Saturday Feburary 9th, a typical morning walking to the library on campus. Warm sun and cold crisp wind stinging my face and fingers. It isn't even spring yet but hidden behind some dead shrubbery were these bee-utiful pink flowers. I have no clue what type of flower these are but what I do know is that it was a change from the winter and I know that spring is just around the corner with warm weather and sunny days to come, which is much needed these days.

Hotel Florence: the eccentric lady

Interpreting the Hotel Florence as an eccentric old lady I have been able to base my design primarily on the intervention of the historical aspects which influence modern eccentricity. As any eccentric lady, the Hotel Florence will walk to its own beat, ignoring the commonalities that have been present over the course of time. One will not expect to pass through the historic threshold of the exterior to be welcomed into a bold and glamorous space accessorized in an assortment of room jewelry and patterned surfaces.


Based on the concept of an eccentric old lady I have developed my design around the center of the lobby where chandeliers suspended in a radial pattern rippling out affecting the lighting and space throughout the public space. Bold colors encompass the space with splashes of patterns and unique furniture pieces and accessories that stand out from their surroundings and acting as room jewelry rather that the assumed to be only functional pieces.

Each bedrooms stands as an individual embody the ideas of eccentricity which ties them together as a whole. There are five room layouts consisting or ADA double and single rooms, double rooms, single rooms, and family style rooms. Each room expresses its distinctive personality through the bold colors and patterns within it.

The restaurant is colored in a singular bold color with a light pattering seen within the space. The main attraction is the food. Southern food, that is seen every day prepared to high standard and served in unique and unconventional vessels creating and fun and exciting dining experience to be forever embedded in the mind of its visitors.

Its been a while

So, it has been a while in I have posted anything on my blog, but the good news is blogging is now one of my goals! Whether I blog about my design projects at school or what is going on in my life, I want to maintain my blog...no, I will maintain my blog I don't have a choice because I say so. At this point I think it is safe to say that I need to update people about my life.

It is presently my last semester at UNCG, on May 10th I will be graduating with a Bachelors of Fine Arts in Interior Architecture (known to most as Design). I already have a job at Phillips Collection and I am truly inspired with what they do. You can check the out at http://www.phillipscollection.com/. They are pretty awesome! I have learned so much with this company and know I have a really long way to go and lots more to learn which I love!

As one of my new year resolution I decided that I want to learn how to cook. I never thought that I would enjoy it. I always thought you had to cook because you have to eat, but no, it is one of my new fav things to do. Have a glass of wine and blast some music! Theres nothing to it...unless as usualy I have no clue what I am doing. In that case my mom gets about a dozen calls full of questions that she thinks is comon sense (I still believe they are legit questions though). By the way I have taken picture of all my meals. I will definatly be posting them soon!

The boyfried...well what can I say? I am as happy as ever. We've been together a little over three years and I still get butterflies when I see him.

Anyways, that is pretty much how things are going and this is me.
