I recently moved to the city in preparation for the job I just took. It took me quite a while before I could find a job, what with the economic problems recently. I am more than happy to find exactly what I wanted for myself. I then proceeded to look for an apartment, since I would not want to be inconvenienced with the travel. Besides, it was high time for me to move out of my parents’ hair.
I was pretty excited about the big move. There were things I needed to buy for the new place before I start off from work. I used my paycheck for the part time job I had to purchase glassware, coffee maker and a new bed. It would be a few days before I venture to my new career, but before that I would need to unpack and fix my room. Things are slowly going my way, and I am glad to finally have everything according to plan.

My newest client happens to be a 3 year old kid. Funny as it may seem, but children tend to be pickier and discriminating compared to the adults. They can also be brutally frank when they are not happy about a specific thing. So this new project is certainly a challenge for me. As an interior designer, I would need to revamp the room of this boy according to his preferences. Having rich parents doesn’t hurt that much when it comes to privileges.
I decided to give him a blue and brown themed room which he absolutely loved. Since he is quite a fan of horses, I was also able to infuse a little bit of such in the design. He wanted a spacious bed despite his height, and particularly asked for levels of discovery rocking chair. The chair I must say was quite a wonderful choice, not bad for this demanding three year old. My client was quite contented with his room. A relief since I badly needed to have good recommendations from his parents to their friends.
