Element of Design: Line

                      Horizontal Lines!
Office 2
The Horizontal lines in the room can be found on the walls, like the pictures hanging up. It can also be found  on the staircase.
The effect with horizontal lines would be to make it look extends the length of the room.
The feeling you would get may suggest rest or repose.
                                                                         





                                                                                                              Vertical Lines!
The balcony
The Vertical lines in the room can be found on the walls, like on the door way, and the window frames
It can also be found on the balcony.
The effect with vertical lines would be to make the room larger and feel more tall.
The feeling you get with vertical lines would be may suggest actions because that is the position people take from walking.





                     Curved Lines!
My baby girl
The curved lines in the room can be found everywhere in this room, it can be found in the curtains, the wheels, the furniture, and on the walls.
The effect and feeling with curved lines would have expressed the ideas of flexibility, softness, grace and joyousness, and tend to impart these qualities to any composition in which they appear.    
       
 
 
 
 
                                                                                                         Diagonal Lines!

The diagonal lines in this room would be the frame on the windows, the lighting fixtures.
The effect with diagonal lines would not be practical nor would it be pleasing to the eye,  but it also  makes the brain think.
The feeling that you get with diagonal lines could bring excitement to the room.

Color Forecast

Color Forecast
    Color forecasters are a mix between designers and sociologists. They understand what trends will be hot in the next year. The forecast for the upcoming year will be neutral colors with a pop of a bold color. The neutral colors will either be shades of grey or shades of brown. The pops of bold colors would most likely be reds, blues, or greens. With the many shades of a neutral color in a room, it creates a monochromatic scheme. The color forecasters are inspired by many different things; including fashion and other countries.
    In this room i did two different monochromatic schemes, my first monochromatic scheme is my grays. from the color on the walls to the couch color its all different shades of gray. My second monochromatic scheme is my blues. I took a darker color blue for the chair to make it sort of match with they couch, but then i also have a lighter color blues for the lighting and the table. Over all i think that this room goes well with each other. Its the neutral colors (gray) with the popping colors (blue).

Color Schemes!

Monochromatic Scheme!
Monochromatic color

In this Monochromatic, even though this room is a neutral colored room. It has different shades of browns. I tried to do something that you wont see in everyday rooms, i wanted this room to stick out and have a good down home feel to it. Even though brown really is not on the color wheel, its still a monochromatic room.

Analogous Color Scheme!
Analogous Color Scheme

This analogous items that would go into a room sticks out and pops out at you. I wanted bright colors but i also had to make sure that they were next to each other on the color wheel. i wanted to do mostly red in this room, because the shades of orange will pop out more at you when you first walk into the room.

Triadic Color Scheme!
Triadic Color Scheme

This Triadic Color Scheme i did purples, greens, and oranges. I think that with little hints of green will make the room look more natural, and earthy. But also when you have the purple in the lighting fixtures it will make everything calm. Adding the orange couch and end table makes the items more seeing in the guest room.

Split- Complementary Scheme!
Split-Complementary Scheme

My split-complementary scheme, i wanted to do colors that would look good together, but yet not over power everything else in the room. Having the blue pattern wall paper makes the room all come together and have a calming feeling when you walk into the room. Having the orange couch and coffee table in the room, makes the room a little more outgoing and fun.

About Jenny Wrobel

The idea of creating a firm that makes design more approachable while still creating spaces with the “wow” factor. Having the room they way you want it, and just wanting to take deep breaths every time you enter a room; is how Jenny's inspiration comes from.
 Jenny received her Bachelor of Arts degree from Regis University in Denver. This was a four year program that she went into. She has almost 6 years of experience in the Interior Design industry,
after she got out of college is was back on track for clients. She typically likes to work with clients who enjoy every moment in their life, and really expresses how they feel and who they.
Jenny would typically cost between $75-140 an hour depending on how the clients what things to be done.  In Colorado this would be on the normal side as well.

Job Search

             My job search that I had to do was an Appraiser. You may ask what an appraiser actually does; well they estimate the value of items such as buildings, art, antiques, and much more. Appraisers also specialize in different types if items; some specialize in real property appraisal, which is buildings and property. Others specialize in personal property, which includes art, antiques, jewelry, machinery, and many other items. Some appraisers estimate how much businesses are worth.

Their work environments vary. Claims adjusters and examiners spend time in offices reviewing documents and conducting research, in addition to working outside when examining damaged property. Appraisers and investigators work outside more often, inspecting damaged buildings and automobiles and conducting surveillance. Most claims adjusters, appraisers, examiners, and investigators work full time. However, their work schedules vary.

You do need an education to be appraisers. In order to be an appraiser you have to meet the minimum requirements set the Appraisal Qualifications Board (AQB) in the fallowing three areas: Education, Experience, and State licensing or certification exam.

Your salary will vary; this will depend on what kind of appraising that you are going into. Top Retail Real Estate Executive will make the most and the one who makes the least is Real Estate Clerk. But everything will depend on what you want to appraise.

Overall job opportunities are expected to be highly competitive. Employment opportunities should be best in areas with active real estate markets. Although opportunities for established certified appraisers are expected to be available in these areas, the cyclical nature of the real estate market will directly affect the number of jobs for appraisers, especially those who appraise residential properties. In times of recession, fewer people buy or sell real estate, decreasing the demand for appraisers. As a result, job opportunities should be best for appraisers who are able to switch specialties and appraise different types of properties.
I really dont think that i would like being a appraiser, becasue I dont like having to deal with money and make the final decision of the items that you are going to be appraised. For some people it is a good job, but i dont think that it would be for me.

House Life Cycle Project


 
The house I want right now.
 This house that I have chosen is the house I am living in right now. It’s on 12 acres, with a big deck and a barn. Inside the house its 3 bedroom and 1 full bath. The downstairs is wide open, including a pool table and a ping pong table as well. This fits my needs now because I live with 5 people and on the weekends it will sometimes be 6 people.  Having a big enough area where we can all have our own space is a good thing. In my house it has all of the physical needs that we need, food, shelter, sleep, safety. It also has a few psychological needs, privacy is a big things for my family, it identifies me because is out in the country and that’s what I am all about.  This house is what my family is all about, Click here for more pictures!!

The house I would like to have when I am 21.
Would be a room that I would rent from in Alexandria, or buy a house up there with a few of my buddies. This house is 2 bedrooms and 1 bath. This house has physical needs because it will be a safe place to be, with a shelter. It has physiological needs because it has privacy, and it will probably have love and belonging as well. Click here for more Pictures!!  This will fit my needs when I am 21 because I will hopeful have my job that I would like to have, and owning a house with a buddy or two would help us all out with money.

 

This would be the house I would like to have when I am 41. This would be a good house for me because I would like to have a family, and this house would be big enough for children and pets. It is also out in the country so it would identify who I am, and its creativity is shown in this picture becasue its not like most styles that houses have. There is also security and a feel of safeness that this house would have too. Since this house looks big there would be alot of room for stoage.  This house is a 3 bed and 2.5 baths; it’s on 8 acres of land in the country. So it would fit my families style of living.
This house I would like to have when I am 71. I would like this house because it’s not that big, and it’s not that small either. It’s big enough where your family can come over for together, but small enough where you can keep up the house work by yourself. It would be a place that you can feel safe and security. It would provide a safe and sheltered home. This house is 2 beds and 1 bath, it sits on less then an acre of land, so you could still have your pets and make sure they have room tho run around. This would be an ideal house for me when i get to this age because its still out in the country, so it will still represent me and who i am. It has all of the elements of pysical and physological needs that you will have.
