Hello guys and gals, Welcome back to another Sunday blogging. continuing with my series, today I have some new designs for you all.

                                 
This first design is an elegant living room design. I love having purple as an accent color as it has a sense of royalty and it's a color that overall has a calming tone. The black helps the purple stand out and it pulls the room together.

                              
Next is a simple kitchen design. I kept thinking design very mellow as there are people who prefer a much blunt design that doesn't have too much color. I also like a room that is just solid and together. Some people may find these types of designs boring but I honestly think that they are unique and slightly fun.

                              

This next design is a something new I wanted to add. It's a poolside design that screams the vacation dream. I absolutely love the striped pillows and the mini palm trees to really tie in that West coast vacation vibe.

I hope you guys enjoyed today's blog and remember if you want a room specifically designed for you just leave me a comment and I will definitely get to you. If you would like me to add more designs each week let me know in the comments as well. Do you imagine yourself in one of these spaces? Do you have a space that looks similar? let me know.


I will see you guys next week with another Sunday blogging.

Hello guys and welcome back to another Sunday blogging. As I mentioned before I have started a new series and today I have some new designs for you all.



This first design is a bright colored living room. I liked it a lot because it kind of reminded me of New York. It has a Manhattan vibe. It's chic and simple and looks great within the small space. The brick wall allows more color to show without being distracting. Every pattern complements each other and doesn't take away too much from each other. The three basic palette colors are red, white, and black but the patterns keep them from looking too matte


This second design is a chic living room. The gold is a nice accessory color that really gives the room a sense of elegance. The blue is a color that can stand out yet keep the room in unison. I absolutely love using blue as an accent color simply because it's a color that can blend well with others. The blue goes well with the gold, black, and white.

I hope you guys enjoyed today's blog and remember if you want a room specifically designed for you just leave me a comment and I will definitely get to you. If you would like me to add more designs each week let me know in the comments as well. Do you imagine yourself in one of these spaces? Do you have a space that looks similar? let me know.

Hello guys and welcome back to another Sunday blogging! I know I've been gone for a while but I'm back and I have a huge announcement. I've been working on a new series where I actually display my own designs. I constantly talk about how to do certain DIY's and crafts but I've never shown how I implement these into my designs, so now I want to show you guys how I work and what I do.
With this first design I decided to actually be bold and not be afraid to use color. I actually love how the colors complement each other and fill the room. The white in the room isn't distracting so all of the colors get to pop.

With this second design I decided to go a much simpler route. This room is perfect for anyone who just wants to rest. The yellow against the black shows happiness and calms the mood of the room even though it's bright. The greys blend well together and keep the room unified which can signify a very focused and driven individual.

I really hope you guys are enjoying this series so far. I will definitely have more for you guys Everytime and if you have suggestions for room decor or color leave a comment below. Also, let me know how you feel about these designs. Do you see yourself living in one of these spaces? Do you see someone else living in these spaces?

Thanks for reading looking at today's blog and I will see you all next Sunday with another Sunday blogging.

Hello guys and welcome back to another Sunday blogging. As you guys know it is February which is also Black history month. To celebrate the African American heritage I want to take a trip down memory lane and talk about two African American figures that have influenced architecture in big ways..

First, I want to talk about Paul Revere Williams, who was the first African American member of the American Institute of Architects(AIA). Paul Revere Williams was born on February 18, 1894 in Los Angeles, California. Williams experienced little prejudice since California was pretty well integrated although he was the only black student in his Elementary school. Even though he had little prejudice he still had his struggles when becoming an architect. Williams never gave up on his big dream and became a licensed architect in 1921. Williams has designed homes for so many big names such as Bill “Bojangles” Robinson and Frank Sinatra.

The next person I want to talk about is Norma Sklarek who was the first African American woman licensed as an architect in the United States. Sklarek was born on April 15, 1926 in Harlem, New York. Sklarek attended an all-girls magnet school where she gained a love for the arts, science, and math. She made sure to reach her goal by attending Columbia University’s school of Architecture. Sklarek breezed through her classes and shocked everyone when she passed her final licensing exam on the first try.  Sklarek moved to L.A to make her dreams become reality and in 1980 Sklarek became the first African American to receive a fellowship by the American Institute of Architects.

Hope you guys enjoyed this information today. Remember to always make history for yourself and keep being the architects I know you are.

Hello guys welcome back to another Sunday Blogging (even though it’s Friday). Today I’m going to be speaking on a totally new form of architecture. I’m talking about Floating Cities! This new phenomenon has come up to prevent flooding within cities. It has taken the world by storm and has even been described as what can save humanity.

The Seasteading Institute has been conducting research for five years to figure out exactly how these cities will function in the real world.  The plan has been to use the territorial waters of an existing nation such as the United states to make sure the cities can remain where they are without any hassle. The researchers are now looking for a host nation to start with as it’ll be more cost efficient and it will become popular since residents are already in the nation and will have a way to easily travel to the newfound city. A host nation can also provide good legal framework which will make the process of building the city much easier.

Researchers have also been trying to find ways to make the city beneficial for the host nation such as trying to find a way to create jobs for economical exchange to help with substantial political independence. Researchers have concluded that the first floating city may be established in 2020 which is pretty soon.

I personally believe that this is great idea simply because it expands human territory which gives humans better chances of not only survival but of living skills. A lot of countries such as Japan and China have so many people in their countries that they regulate their population to prevent overcrowding. Building these floating cities can reduce the need of population control. The floating cities will allow us to learn more about the world and how we can change it for the better.

Hope you guys found today’s blog interesting, and please feel free to look more into it yourself at https://www.seasteading.org/floating-city-project/

Hello guys and welcome back to another Sunday Blogging. As you guys know February is approaching really soon which means Valentine’s day is approaching as well. Today I am going to be showing you some Valentine’s day home décor hacks. By the way these help whether you’re single or coupled up with that special someone.


This first hack is a simple classic Valentine’s day heart. All you need is a strip of paper. Take the strip of paper and fold it in half from the middle. With both open ends curl them inwards towards each other (to make the process easier you can use things such as pens, markers, and pencils to make defined curls on the ends).

This next hack will give you a nice subtle design for a jar. Simply use decorated tissue paper and glue it onto a jar. Gluing tissue paper (mainly white) can cause it to become transparent creating a cool effect. Add a candle into the jar and it will for sure make a nice home decoration.

A lot of people prefer to be simple on Valentine’s day which is respected especially in this day and time where a lot goes on. For those simple people who like Valentine’s day but don’t have any time to do anything fancy you can just go with the classic construction paper hearts. Just literally cut the construction paper (preferably colored red, pink, and white) into the shape of hearts. This is simple and can just be used as table decoration or glue it onto a sheet of paper making a nice heart collage. You can even cut them into different sizes to make it more fun.

Hope you guys enjoyed these hacks and use them to make yours or someone else's Valentine's day very special. That's it for today and I hope to see you guys once again next week for another Sunday blogging.

Hello guys welcome back to another Sunday blogging. First, I want to say that I’m happy to be back in business and most of all HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! Today we are going to be discussing how you can learn to become a pro at interior designing. It’s now 2017 and our ideas of interior design are changing drastically. So, to help you keep up with the times, I want to give you some tips on how to be a pro or at least look like a pro when it comes to interior design.

First, you need to know how you want your home styled. Do you want your home to be modern, vintage, shabby chic or etc... Knowing how you want your home designed is the first step because now you’re able to design around that category.

I personally love modern homes. I absolutely love tones that are more earthy and don’t draw too much attention. Modern is classy and very relaxing. You can simply never go wrong with a modern look.

Secondly, know what colors fit you so that way when you possibly have guests over the colors fit your personality which make you feel comfortable eventually leaving your guests feeling comfortable as well.

I’m a very calm, cool, and collected person so my favorite colors are beiges, dark browns, and dark blues. They set a calm tone and they aren’t crazy colors, and lastly, they blend well together to make a room look like a nice safe haven.

And lastly, make sure your furniture matches everything else. Furniture honestly is the most fun part of designing as there are so many variations of it. While choosing furniture it’s always fun to mix some things up. I’ve always liked the vintage style combined with modern simply because they do share some similarities and balance with each other.

I hope you guys enjoyed today's blog and most of all I hope you apply these basic skills into your everyday designing. It's the New Year, time to make a New Year's resolution and take control of your home.
