{Week 2}

Week 2 down! 4 more to go!!

The second week here at Vicente Wolf {pronounced" VI-CEN-TE} went a lot better than the first.

I have been paired up with the senior designer on 2 projects: PROJECT SINGER and PROJECT GITLITZ.

I have been doing a lot of estimating on fabrics, custom furniture, carpet and custom rugs. IT has been interesting to see the back end of the design process and how much work really goes in to everything besides the design aspect. I really miss being in the design phase, but I guess you have to learn all sides to be a successfull designer!

I have been building alot of Vicente's custom CRAZY furniture, which is kinda scary because what I build and dimension I send to the carpenter and he builds it!! I get so scared sending them because I am not so sure they are always right, but Vicente passes them off so I guess they are good! It has been fun watching Vicente and David {the senior designer} work together and argue about every little thing! they can put together a whole room materials, furnishings, everything in a matter of like 2-3 hours! Its amazing. They do have a very layed out system that they follow well so I guess that helps.

City life has been great, we have seen a lot of cool things and I have been inspired by many of the old buildings and the modern insert of the city. I have come to love old classic architecture with modern furnishings. Example: like a great Corthinthan pillar next to a sexy, sleek panton chair. So beautiful.

The city is crazy and it never slows down. I love the excitment and the thrill of it, but I sure so miss the friendlyness of people.
