My first day, Jennifer met me at a showroom for a company called Dualoy at 930 am. Dualoy sells amazing leathers, furs, and holy crap, snake skin wallcoverings.
We went to a client's apartment and took some measurements. I'll call her S for her last name. S happens to be 24 freaking years old. Her parents are filthy rich and the source of her money. She's a gorgeous blonde chick with a Donald Trump looking husband who, you guessed it, is also rich (do you think she married for money?) She also has two housekeepers.
Next, Jen and I walked over to the D&D, I posted a link for that place on my first post. You should really look at it. It's a mecca for any designer. We picked out some samples of fabric then we picked up lunch at a place called the Financier and ate it in a courtyard with real life trees.
Jen and I went to meet Harry at the F's apartment. It's a completed project that's been lived in for a while now but the client had some complaints about paint cracking from the change of seasons. Harry and Jennifer showed me all around the apartment and since the client wasn't home, he cracked jokes about stuff he found laying around and we lounged in their living room like we owned the place.
From here, Jen, Harry, and I went to HRK's apartment. She is probably between 60 and 70, awkwardly large (she wears a size 13 shoe), wears a huge blonde hair piece, and has little scars around her face from all the face lifts. She's a fat Joan Rivers basically. The apartment is under construction and we just went to see the progress and to answer HRK's questions. The funny part of this visit was that Harry introduced me as Autumn but for some reason, HRK understood him as Otter. She called me that about 6 times before Harry asked her what she was calling me. We had a good laugh then he corrected her.
Harry and Jen walked me to my subway station and made me swear I knew how to get home then let me off by like 330. Best first day.
A cool thing that I got to do on my second day, I visited an amazing artist's studio, here's a link to see her:
She was super nice and Harry asked her to give me a little tour and tutorial of her studio, I got to watch one of her artist's making a custom piece right there. It's so beautiful and her peices go for quite alot of money.
On a bus ride from Miriam's studio, I talked to Harry about USU's Interior Design program. I told him about designers who we have had visit our school and he was really surprised.
Also, there is a furry friend in our office. His name is Samson and he is a french bulldog and boston terrier mix. He likes to lick your leg if you have lotion on. It's disgusting really. But he's cute and chases a lacrosse ball around our office. He's essentially Harry's child. He calls him 'sweetie' and 'stinky' and he takes him out to 'potty'. It's pretty funny.
Week 1 was only 3 days but it was pretty baller. Stay tuned...
