In the spirit of being done with school for a few weeks before summer school kicks in, I’m posting another photo from the same project as yesterday. This is my final presentation of my restaurant project.
Today is my last day of school for the spring semester. Hooray! I’ve become increasingly nervous about posting any schoolwork on my blog. Once it’s done, I’m pretty tired of looking at it. The more I analyze what I should have done differently. But I’m hoping that it will be fun to look back in a few years and see some progress. This is from a commercial project that we recently did. It shows the progression of how I drew a wall of booths in a one point perspective.
Trying to decide on dimensions, I’m not sure if this is what I ended up using in the end.
Drawing the wall to scale with a one point perspective.
Adding trace on top of the wall/floor lines and drawing the actual booths.
Scanned, edited, and some color added.
This photo originally had other words below it. But those words are now for another day. Today my thoughts and prayers are with Oklahoma.
I can’t remember where I first saw Jessica Helgerson’s tiny house on Sauvie Island near Portland. I just remember being in love with it. She quickly became one of my favorite designers. Not only because of my affinity for tiny houses, but also how she made the 540 square foot home so spacious.

Continuing on with the week’s theme of connecting with the outdoors, today’s favorite reads revolve around cabins and camping. Maybe it’s because summer is fast approaching, or the 70-80 degree weather we’ve been having here in San Luis Obispo, or maybe even because of the 8 cups of hot cocoa I’ve had this week, but I’m excited for some adventure!

Sunset just had a dreamy issue about places to go in the Sierra’s. Bonus: here are some campfire breakfast recipes.
My favorite Instagram feeds lately have been Airstream_Dreams, TodaysLetters, TheThriftstoreCowboy and AWellTraveledWoman. So much outdoor goodness.
My sister and I went paddle boarding the other day at Port San Luis. On one side of the pier there is a small dock with a large cage on it where seals like to hang out. (Not sure about the cage’s purpose.) Tina said “reminds me of the movie Mad Max”…Ugh…Mad Max. It aired on TV often when we were little. I don’t know anything about the movie except that I hated every single scene. It seemed so bleak, the environment looked so hot and dry (even in the water). Everyone looked miserable, I know I would be. (Especially since someone was always being chased.)
Nowadays, my movie choices are usually light hearted rom-com that are pleasant to look at. I can’t take the extra stress.

Yesterday I wrote about connecting with the outdoors from the indoors. I wanted to share some photos of what is so lovely about bringing the outdoors inside.

Of course, we don’t all have a big courtyard of trees surrounding our home, or even the liberty to put in big windows, but we can…
