Welcome to my first blog post! I would like to share with you some background on the little things about design that excite me! To go into more depth about me, I am an undergraduate Interior Design and Architectural Studies major (double), minoring in Sustainability. My study abroad in Italy during the spring semester 2011 pushed me to the realization that I want to go to graduate school for Historic Preservation. My dream job would be to design interiors of historical buildings such as Carlo Scarpa’s design for Castelvecchio in Verona, Italy.
My Unique Inspirations:
I can’t explain it, but there’s something about wrought iron that makes my soul smile! Maybe it’s the fact that such a hard element is made into such graceful forms? Maybe it’s the playful shadows that it creates? Whatever the cause, wrought iron is one of my favorite elements to experience in historic architecture.
I hope that my unique inspirations will inspire you, too! =)
