ABC’s of Fine Design

I found out the other day that I may be able to design homes and sell them. I like this idea, but it takes a lot of time to do all of the planning. I would have to draft out everything, decide where plumbing and lighting and everything goes and then sell these plans to people. That would mean I would have to find someone to buy them. I of course could also put an ad in the paper or online and design on a customer basis, this would make me feel better, but I know right now it’s not something that would make much money in my area.

This is an example of what an interior designer with a bachelors degree can do. We can design homes, inside and out. We can make plans and actually have these homes built. Most of the time you want the approval of an architect or engineer for your plans, but you don’t have to have that. If this is something that interest you, you will need to know how to draft and general building codes, you also want to put a clause on your plans that say they need to be reviewed by a local contractor or engineer as building codes vary by area.

The best part about this job is that you can work from home and be your own boss. Not a bad situation I think.

Rubber is not just for tires and Nora Rubber is proof of that. Nora systems produces some of the most interesting designs in flooring and it is all made from rubber. Right now this is mostly for commercial use, though I do see it becoming popular in homes eventually.

I am big on anything Eco friendly and this product is just that. Rubber can be recycled into many things so if the flooring is removed it could be used for something else. In fact Nora flooring does recycle it product into another product they produce once it has been removed. This company does some great things and if you have a business or our looking to start one, check them out for some great flooring.
