Hand Rendering Sketches

Starting this quarter of Graphic Communication Methods class we are having lots of fun creating perspective hand rendering drawings. These drawings can also be effective presentation tools, allowing designers and their clients to take a glimpse at the conceptual space.
Here are my attempts at trying the technique:

Design World’s Collide

Many of the celebrity stars in our music galaxy hit the carpet on Monday night at the 2012 Costume Institute Gala at New York’s Metropolitan Museum…

With the Gala inspiring us as to what is going to be hot this season. ReImagine wanted to highlight the inspirational fashion design and collide it with interior design and décor.

Here is where two design worlds collide:

Built In-spiration

Built-ins are a great way to add character appeal, function, and storage to a room. The custom nature of built ins makes the possibilities endless and the arrangements more flexible for your particular space.

Here is Houzz.com’s 

ADVANTAGES OF BUILT-INS:
- Built-ins blend in to your interior instead of standing out from it. Free-standing pieces of furniture can sometimes project out into the room as much as 24″ and tend to appear much “bulkier” than built-in cabinetry that is fitted to (or into) the wall.
- Built-ins can provide large quantities of storage because they can use an entire wall without overwhelming the look of the room.
- The trim in your house can be coordinated with the built-ins for a nice, cohesive look throughout.
- Built-ins can provide more efficient storage because they can be tailored to fit specific needs.
- Lighting can easily be integrated into your built-in cabinetry which will add ambience to the room it’s in.  Double bonus!

Take a look at some Inspiration :

Barnboard…

– is a gold mine of decorating possibilities.

As Canadians, we’ve seen a lot of ramshackle barns in our lifetime. Although we’d love to see them all restored, we know that’s not realistic and we’re pleased that when they do get demolished, some people are making good use of the remains.

You can use recycled or reclaimed barn boards to decorate a wide range of spaces in your home. You can use barn boards in a decorative fashion for almost any project where a normal board is used, including shelves, craft projects and other decorative pieces.

Whether you’re going green or you just like the rustic look, scroll down to see some inspiration of great barn board uses:

Add a touch of warmth to your floors by installing old barn boards on the space instead of old-fashioned hardwood. Rough barn boards offer a weathered quality for a rustic look

If you love your floors just the way they are, use your barn wood to cover the walls. You can use barn board the same way you do plank panelling or wainscoting to cover a wall.

A Step Above … Repurposed Ladders

Providing both style and chic storage functionality, if a ladder graces your home in a room other than the garage, props to you …

A ladder could be used to showcase art, an outfit, or tea towels. It could hold all of your belts in your closet, or your favorite magazines, right next to your bed.

Look here to see about how you can repurposed your own:

Here is my own repurposed ladder, salvaged from an Antique Show from St. Stephen, NB.
