Living a designer life!!

Acting Smart

“Design your life as you are the only designer of your life”. I have always wanted to do something in the creative field, as I mentioned in my previous posts, that I first got admitted into fashion designing. For a while, I really wanted to be a fashion designer and then I realized I just wanted to wear the chic accessories and clothes and not really design them @heels, dresses, earrings – I think they are my guilty pleasures ha-ha!! Since my childhood, I always draw houses while other kids draw trees and flowers; and I always wonder when I was 10 years, do you really get paid for making pretty houses. I guess in my subconscious mind I knew I will be an ID – ha-ha!! Going back to my childhood, if I have to change something, I think I will appreciate sleep more and how slim I was as a pre-baby ha-ha!! I think I am still a sweet16 as I always pick my cousin's small little bicycle and paddle it. 😉

‘I don’t design houses, I design dreams’, I got inspired by this saying, it wants me to think about interiors day and night. The mind of an interior designer is always busy – you will never found calmness, they are always looking at things and designing them – even on their coffee table, (I think every style savvy homeowner should have a coffee table – maybe because I love to design coffee tables).

It’s very hard to switch my ‘work brain' off but in order to keep my work and my family balance, I try my hardest to talk to my fav peeps, because they are with me when interior designing was not. So, I make sure to shut down my designing mind aside and spend time with my parents and my BFF, I make sure, I am always there with them whenever they need me, because there will be a time in your life when you will cherish these moments – and I don’t want any guilt at that time (selfish me, ha-ha!!), And yes how can I forget my favorite person at home – my dog@Crsty, omg!! She gives me so much positivity –  dogs’ love is unconditional. She always waits for me, if I am coming late or early – she is always at the door as she hears my car coming in the garage.

‘Your initial reaction is always the best one – trust your vibes – trust your gut feeling’. The day I logged into Pinterest, I wanted to spread my work creating my own blog. As quoted, “If you look at what you have in life, you will always have more.” This quote inspired me to have faith in my talent. You not always get what you want. I would like to suggest to the ID’s freshers if you want to start a blog or website, don’t look at the established interior designers; because they are at that place for many years. Get inspired from them, create your own footsteps by renovating theirs 😉  Stick to your basics, black and white color are just classic stick to them, try creating different color combos, try getting indulge in your designs, your designs should speak on their own without you uttering a word – and that’s the moment you will feel proud of yourself.

Hey, young interior designers out there – Just go for it!!!
