So if you want to have a nice and clean house you should clean it.  Clean it for when people want to look around at the clean and organized spaces. when people are looking at your houses you always want to make it look like there is a lot of space to move around in.

Kitchen design

This is a design of the kitchen I designed for Rachael, who lives in the suburbs who needed a bigger kitchen.  She  wanted this kind of kitchen for a while where she could do so much more while cooking because she has a bigger space to move around in.

The kind of kitchen I had was an L shaped kitchen.  Having an L shaped kitchen is easier to get around while cooking.

My bedroom design

This is a picture of  my bedroom that I created by using homestyler.com. It looks pretty similar to my real bedroom.

Harmony

          

                                                        Harmony
       The objects I chose to use for the theme was different shades of purple and little hint of pink.  The different textures I used was soft, silky, and fuzzy.  You can tell just by looking at the pillow on the couch/ bed that they're both fuzzy and soft.  and the curtain on the door is a silky door curtain.  Also the waste basket is rough and has lines on the outside.  There is also some vertical lines on the door curtain.  You can see that there is horizontal line in the couch/bed and the table has vertical lines.  with all the different textures, I believe it brings out the room with all the different purples the go well together.
                                                                            
                          

Proportion and scale

        

                                                     Design challenge
                         
   For the poor proportion I chose to use the table thats in the middle of the room to show where there isn't much room for people to walk thats where bad scaling comes in to place.  I also mad the laundry basket bigger to block the door a bit and the seat near the door is blocking a part of the door.  near the window I there is a zebra print that isn't even with the wall so that represents bad proportion.  Also the bed should be a little bigger than all the other things in the room.
