My 1st Finish Schedule

I hope you all had a nice weekend and are ready to (more or less...) face the new week. I had a nice and relaxing two days including lots of cooking and baking! I made the most tasty Apple Pie on Saturday! It was delcicious! Especially with vanilla ice cream. So good...

I also managed to get the house ready for spring. All is sparkly and fresh now and ready for the sun to come out!!!

But the best thing is that I finally finished the current assignment I was working on for my Interior Design course. It's the 7th out of 12 so I'm slowly getting there... only four more to go! This assignment was about developing a finish schedule for a whole house belonging to a young family.
Et voila! This is what I imagined my imaginary house belonging to my imaginary clients to look like! Enjoy... I'd certainly be happy to move in straight away... ;-)


Kitchen

Spare bedroom

Bathroom

Second bathroom

Main bedroom

Boys bedroom

Girls bedroom

Looking at the pics I realize that there is a lot of grey going on here, but I must admit I'm a big fan of grey...


And last but not least...

...my apple pie
How was your weekend???

    I, too, am becoming a big fan of grey. I just had my library built in my home and I had the walls done a dark grey and I am very happy with the colors in the room. Check out my blog and let me know what you think of the room.
    p.s. Nice apple pie!!!! Yummm!

    Beautiful rooms you have chosen for your design course. I'm sure you will pass with flying colours. I especially like the main bedroom because it opens directly to the garden.
    However I'd like to point out to one detail in the boys' room. I don't think it's a good idea to have an electricity outlet right on the wall where the kids draw with chalk. I think it's downright dangerous. Maybe you could photoshop that part so it disappears? Just an idea. Good luck to you with this assignment!

    And have a fantastic week!

    Oh thanks so much for all your kind feedback. That's great and much appreciated!

    Anna - wouldn't it be great if they were real clients? I can't wait!!! Of course, you can have a slice. I'll send it over ;-)

    Kifus - Thanks so much for pointing that out. I must admit I hadn't noticed the outlet. You're right. That can be dangerous!

    Hi there anonymous,

    Yes, I'm doing the ID course as well! How do you find it? I think it's getting quite challenging now. I'm working on assignment 9 at the moment!

    All the best,

    Hello!
    I am also doing the IDI course and am starting assignment 7. I really like the photos you have chosen to represent your design ideas - did you submit these photos along with a written essay, or with a tabled schedule? I am a bit unsure as to how I should carry out this schedule (whether in a table or paragraphs of descriptive text). Any help would be much appreciated!

    Thanks,
    Annika from London

    Hi Annika

    No, I didn't submit the photos for assignment 7. They were more for myself, to help me focus on what I wanted to achieve in each room. For the assignment I submitted an essay describing the finishes walls, floor, ceiling, cabinets and worktops, window frames etc for each room as well as an excel sheet specifying the exact colour and finish for everything.

    It seemed very daunting at the beginning but one I started it all fell into place...

    Good luck with your work!

    Hi Nadine

    Thanks very much for your reply, helpful stuff! Yes, it does seem a daunting task at first but once my designs ideas were flowing I got really in to it!
    I hope you enjoyed the rest of the course!

    Thanks again,
    Annika

    Hi there,

    I just discovered your post, almost a year after the fact. I was searching for a sample of a finsih schedule. I suspect we might be participants of the same course! Did you do yours through The Interior Design Institute? I am on module 7 now. And it realy is slowly but surely.

    How did you find it in general? And what happened in the end? Are you now an amazing designer?

    I would love to hear how a fellow design traveler found the experience.

    Regards,

    Lelanie

    Hi. Like so many others here, I've come across your blog while searching for a plan for a finish schedule. Funnily, I am in Brisbane, Australia doing an external course from a Sydney company Interior Design Institute and am up to module 7 too. When looking through those gorgeous photos, I could have sworn they were meant for a contemporary modern Queenslander style home. Nice to see that beautiful interior design translates across the continents. I am looking forward to following your blog. Lovely to find you across the ether!!
