I have a bit of a new hobby that involves a little Googling, a good portion of design and a lot of Photoshopping and sometimes a campy fake-looking result…..but it keeps me fairly entertained. It started with an assignment to design my future personal artist studio on a budget of $7,500 (!). Easy enough. I managed a 2-view 3D design of the room. I’m pleased with in concept, though it may never come to fruition. I will post those later.

What I’m putting up now is a design concept for my future living room. Using the dimensions of DFH’s (can you guess the meaning of that acronym? ) apartment living space, I threw together this little schematic for future domesticity. I like it. DFH didn’t…. I told him he will have to get used to the idea that I am a creative being and therefore this sort of thing is inevitable.

One of my favorite pieces is the cushy, rolling ottoman that is the seat for the desk in the back. It’s cute and tiny–perfect for small spaces! It even has an i-mac….perfect. Close-up below (from Pottery Barn):

The big-screen TV is solely for DFH….as is the orchid. Most of the furniture is from Pottery Barn,
although he already owns the nice leather couch. The other furniture is
a collection of random pieces found on Google Imagesearch. The fourth
wall will be painted a deeper shade of teal-green (darker than the
curtains, but toned down). I have it all planned out . . .
