Housing Life Cycle

    This week in Interior Design we learned about house and the needs of housing, the age categorizes are 22, 33, 42, and 75.
The first age category is 22, this will be soon after I graduate, my apartment will be near the city where I can find work. This might be in Seattle, New York, or Chicago somewhere very urban and full of younger people. My house will need only to be small because I will be living alone and won't have too many possessions.  The apartment will probably be like an art studio or one will 3 rooms for roommates. The house will be very personal, but a lot of work wont be put into it because of my job I will be traveling a lot. In conclusion my apartment will be small and comfortable for a first home.


The next age group is 33, at this time I plan to be fulfilling one of my many occupations. At this age, I plan to be living somewhere else in the world and experiencing culture. I will only need a one bedroom apartment for me and my partner(if there is one) or friends and living a successful life. I would still probably only be at the "couple" stage, so my place will need to be a bit bigger for both of our belongings. I plan to live somewhere in Europe, places with rich culture and history like Spain or Norway. I plan to live my life to it's full extent and I won't be ready for the responsibility of kids yet.


The third age group is 42, at this age I will have been possibly married or with a slim chance of a child. Since I would have been working for 20 years my income shouldn't be too bad, so I might be able to have a nice home in New York City or in Portland, Oregon. Because if I do have a child I would like them near a musical influenced town like Oregon but also the vibrant culture of New York. I don't plan on living in the suburbs unless I'm near death and even then it will be by force if anything. My condo or townhouse will have 3 bedrooms and a garden on my terrace or on the roof of my apartment because since my organs will becoming to an age of failing and high risks I would like to eat somewhat organic. My house townhouse will now be a little bigger because at this time I would like at least one kid, and it will need a bigger room because only children tend to be spoiled. I will want a big bathroom with a classic claw footed tub and a patio for nights with my large varieties of friends from my world studies and pretty view with an industrial/minimalist look.

Now when I'm 72, let's have fingers crossed I'm alive or aware of my surroundings. Most likely at this age I won't be retired because the economy isn't the greatest. I will still be in townhouse or some small place for me and my husband and how large amount of plants and sovereigns, grandchildren would be nice so a spare bedroom for them. I might just be in North Carolina at this point on a cottage on the beach and I will have some small job like working at a local store like in the movie "Safe Haven" except there won't be a hot Josh Dumal and I will be old. I want to live on the beach because I hope to have grandbabies, and a big backyard and ocean will be lovely. Also a couple guest rooms for them too when they visit, but also a sorta big dinning and kitchen for family gatherings. My life ahead is planing to be a great one and I will need many houses because I plan to travel and live my life to its full extent with my future family, 

 

3 Incredible blogs

    The first blog I visited was this one called Popsuagr, not only is about interior design but also about fashion and life in general. My favorite blog of theirs is "9 Easy Ways to Beautify Your Bathroom on the Cheap," not only does it give you tips on how to easily update your 1970's bathrooms but it's also so simple that even the most uncoordinated could pull it off, The methods are easy and cheap enough to do this all in one weekend. The blog gives you new way to modernize your home while adding a fun and playful look, they also have ideas for decorating for the Hallmark Holiday of Valentines Day.




The next blog I visited was Young House Love, the creators are two parents who have a passion for up dating their house with their own do it yourself way. Instead of going out and buying something, this blog gives you easy step by step instructions to adding more color to your house and cute decorations. If you're renovating and are on a cheap budget I would recommend to visit this blog.


The final blog I reviewed is Bloesem, it has a very downtown minimalist feel. The blog is full of pictures and most defiantly in this case, a picture is worth a thousand words. The designer uses cultural influences and also cute ideas to do with the kiddos whenever you have a spare moment. It's perfect if you're looking for something to do with the kids or where to plan your next vacation, the possibilities are endless here.
