Interior Design

I have really been missing Interior Design lately, and doing it as a profession. I am hooked on a show called Design Star on HGTV, and it gets me really pumped up and gets my creative juices flowing.
Being a single mom, and realizing that soon I am going to have to work full time, I have been debating what field to go into. I thought of getting my credential and working as a teacher because of the hours, but it's just not me. I have always had a passion for Psychology, and have thought about going back and getting a degree in it, but I can't afford school right now...maybe when the girls are in school.
If I were to do Interior Design for real, I would have to get a license number and take some more classes...but I have been thinking about doing Interior Decorating. The only difference is designers can make structural changes and decorators can't. Decorators basically make a room look good and focus on the aesthetics of a room, which is the stuff I love! So, I think I am going to go in this direction. It will be a long road, building up clientele, but in the long run I can do this from home. When I am ready to take the plunge I will have to do work for free in order to get material for a portfolio...so I will keep you posted...and maybe I can help you decorate a room!
I have also decided that I am going to put posts on here of design stuff, things I like and things that inspire me. I think it will be good for me, and good to focus a little bit on myself.
To start...here is the bed I am creating for my bedroom...I have the duvet cover, but am buying other pieces one at a time, since I am on a VERY strict budget! Nate Berkus is one of my favorite designers and this comes from his collection...
