My office got a mini make-over

My office got a mini make-over

It's crazy what some cleaning, clearing out of boxes and simply rearrangement of furniture will do.

When I first started working, I was immediately excited about my office space. I had exposed brick, a large room and new desk. So all I really had to do was move my furniture around so my back was no longer facing the door and I wasn't looking at a wall.

Of course I added some personal touches, like wall art, brown baskets and photographs of the fam.

Modesto JC Interior Design Department survives budget cuts and enters “Dream Room” competition.

Modesto JC Interior Design Department survives budget cuts and enters “Dream Room” competition.

The Modesto Junior College Interior Design department has been serving the community for over twenty years. This past year, with budgets tight everywhere, the program was almost cut. This would have left design students with no way to finish their program and other interested students with no interior design classes at all.

Luckily the local design community stepped in and offered their time and expertise to the advisory board. Valuable internship relationships were developed, helping save the program. Last year the department’s students won “Best in Show” at a local interior design competition. This year they will have a display booth at the Modesto Home Improvement Show on September 23-25 at the Modesto Centre Plaza. The show is having a “Dream Room” interior design contest that has three local designers competing for first place.

The department will be judging the contest in addition to having a display.
