Recently one of my roommates Kayla, who is an interior design major had a project to do where she had to shadow someone in her field. She ended up finding someone who was redecorating a home for clients near our school and was able to spend time helping out and even giving her input.

She would come home every day when she was done and tell us all about it. It was actually pretty cool to hear about (I am a pre-pharmacy major so I am really out of that loop ha) and see the samples.

So she would come home and we would go through her box of rug samples and tile and magazines of designer lamps which were really cool. The family that she was working with were newlyweds (which is so exciting and fun) and they just built a home so they got to start fresh and new and it seemed like such a great experience for her. She said she learned a lot and that this really helped her to know for sure that this was the major and career path that she wanted to pursue.

Last week the women whose home that she had helped with invited us to come over and see it and all of the hard work Kayla had put into it. So we stopped by and took the grand tour. It was so amazing. The house was gorgeous (and so was one of the Pendant lamps that I helped Kayla pick out). It was so cool to see that she had helped out with this and helped to change this couples lives. She decorated and helped design everything from woodwork to rugs to colors on the wall and even a playroom for the kids that they will have one day.

It is so cool to see what decorating a home can do for a family. They are so excited to start their lives together in this wonderful home (she even helped with the landscaping and flowers outside and by the deck). Kayla made such an impact on them and I am starting to see her major and why she likes it and wants to do this in the future. It is no longer silly measuring and cutting and gluing to me, she is actually seeing the big picture and helping families put it together and change their lives.
