New office!

I started my 4th week at Richmond American Homes as a junior designer this week! It has been an interesting experience for me, acclimating from my normal come and go, dress how you please office environment to a corporate environment. All in all things are working out. I of course have had my moments and frustrations, it can be hard to adapt to another way of doing things and having to prove your abilities to a new set of people. But the girls in the merchandising department are all very nice, which of course helps! Probably my biggest struggle is less time with my girls. I really felt like I had found the perfect situation, working 3 days and staying home 2. However as we all know things change, and for me, I always believe for a reason. So for now I am working everyday and my girls are going to school... I don't think it's forever but I am willing to ride the ride that God hands out to me! Even if I have to remind myself of that daily!

Here is pics of my cube... also a first for me! In some regards it's nice to have your own cozy space but on the other hand I hate not being able to see what's going on around me! I guess I will just have to aim high... I see an office with windows and a door in my future!Messy, I know! But a design job is a messy one... so many pieces to fit together the puzzle!

This is the current model I am working on. It's the Harvard plan and is in Maryland. It is scheduled to install in late October so I will pics of how it turns out then. At Richmond all of your fabric and color selections are predetermined by the design director. I was lucky enough to get the "chili pepper, linen" scheme. In other words Red! My most favorite color!

I got assigned 8 more models last Monday... so my plate continues to get more full! Job security... right?
