All about the wall

Posted on Wednesday, May 6, 2009

Although I'm not a huge fan of wallpaper, I do enjoy inventive wall treatments. I couldn't help but be drawn to the luxurious wall designs by House Couturier. Based out of London, House Couturier not only sell furniture, window treatments and lighting, they also have a large selection of designed wall treatments. From stripes to cityscapes, their bold patterns are sure to turn head when put in any room. The best part is that ship orders and samples worldwide!

Craigslist deal of the day- free Chesterfield sofa

Posted on Sunday, May 3, 2009

As I'm sure others do often, I scoured the free section on Craigslist for looking for any amazing items that someone is getting rid of. Upon looking I saw this gorgeous white, chesterfield sofa. It would be amazing if it were recovered in leather or bold suede.

Here are some fine examples of traditional and funky upholstered sofas.

In jobs resume tips

Resume tip: Courses, Smourses

Posted on Saturday, May 2, 2009

DO NOT PUT YOUR COURSES ON YOUR RESUME!!!

When looking for job in the design field, no matter if it is at a showroom or a firm, never list the courses you have taken. The reason being, no one knows the details of the courses that you have listed and if it's confusing or doesn't pertain to the company they will toss the resume almost instantly. IE: Applying to a furniture showroom and putting that you've taken a textiles class.

The catch 22 is that the knowledge that you have gained from these classes could potentially land you a job, it's about how it is presented. The best way to go about this is adding your experience on your resume as your skills. Instead of putting that you took AutoCad 101, put that you are experienced in AutoCad programming. If you have taken a class in textiles, don’t put Textiles 101 but “fluent with textile specifications.”

Who says tubs just have to be large white porcelain bowls? Not the company Aquamass! Based out of Brussels, they have a range of tubs that glow, are basket weaved, or even covered in cowhide.

To check out more of the tubs they offer, check out their website here Aquamass
