WHY HIRE AN INTERIOR DESIGNER?

Updating or remodeling your home or business can be stressful, scary and disruptive, so you want to get it right the first time. It takes careful planning and thoughtful design before you embark on a remodeling project. Do you have the time and expertise to take on this time consuming endeavor by yourself? If not, you may want to think about hiring a knowledgeable interior designer to help you. Why Hire an Interior Designer? If your goal is to have a home that could grace the cover of “House Beautiful” hiring an Interior designer is a definite, but that isn’t the only reason to hire a professional.  Knowledgeable designers can also save you money while providing creative and applicable possibilities that you may not have thought of. When it comes to design your first thought might be, “I have good taste, I can do this myself” but, interior design is not just choosing colors, furniture and accessories.  Interior Design also encompasses the flow of colors, finishes and space to provide the best look and the most efficient use of your space. We are all naturally eclectic and it’s easy to end up with a home that just doesn’t look the way you had planned.

The “mastery” in design is getting everything to complement each other while providing exciting and renewed spaces that will stand the test of time. Trends are wonderful but to avoid a yearly remodel it’s best to incorporate trendy colors in pillows or other accessories than using them on more permanent and expensive items.

Planning and designing your home is a very personal journey. It requires a designer that is willing to spend the time to get to know you and your lifestyle before they can provide the look and feel that you’re dreaming of. Hiring the right designer will lighten your load, broaden your vision of the possibilities and design a space that is uniquely yours. 

Seasoned professionals have industry relationships and the knowledge that enables them to provide the most suitable design, products and finishes for your home while remaining sensitive to your budget. Like in any other profession the more experienced the better the result.

Best Mods for Fallout 3 Series: DC Interiors

The Fallout 3 mod community has produced some real gems - mods that not only keep true to the spirit of a retro post-apocalyptic world full of loss but they also add some extra adventure and believable lore to the story. I've decided to review the best mods (in my opinion) for Fallout 3, for anyone who's interested in trying out mods for Fallout 3.

One of the best mods for Fallout 3 is chucksteel's DC Interiors. This mod adds MANY  diverse, lore-friendly interiors to the countless boarded-up shops in the DC Ruins -- what I love about this mod is that you can get a realistic feeling of scavenging for tech and odds and ends. The interiors are all in varying states of decay -- one interior is a near-intact (as intact as it gets in Fallout-- there's still a bunch of Radroaches and dirt and grime, but y'know it's comparatively intact) diner, while another interior is a half-collapsed townhouse that you have to climb through a window to exit. This is a great mod if you like exploring and it's an even better mod if you want to play as a "scavenger" type Lone Wanderer. 

Now to examine the pros and cons of the mod . . . 

PROS: This mod has quantity and quality. All of the areas are unique, engaging, and they tell a story of their own. Sometimes these stories are sad depictions of a world ravaged by war and sometimes they're just goofy. I like that balance, since I think Fallout isn't supposed to be a game that takes itself too seriously. One great thing about this mod is that you can pick up typewriters, lamps, 1950s playboy mags, TVs, and other new bits and bobs (I loved the miniature robobrain toys) and sell them/used them as decoration/whatever. It makes Fallout 3 feel more like a scavenging game. The Pawnshop is probably the most challenging area to explore, but there is an AWESOME reward once you figure out how to unlock the display cases. 

CONS: The first time I downloaded this mod, the textures had trouble loading. It was more than a little annoying to walk into a new area and have the eerie "flickering chameleon" effect of improperly loaded textures. However, there is a very simple solution -- use toggle archive invalidation before starting the game (doing this just once will usually fix the problem, so you won't have to do it every time you play). I would recommend using FOMM's toggle archive invalidation rather than Nexus Mod Manager's, only because it seems that FOMM's toggle archive invalidation seems to solve the texture problems better than Nexus MM for this mod. I'm not dissing Nexus MM, it's great, but in this instance FOMM works better. As with all mods, there's usually some glitches or mod incompatibilities-- but a little bit of patience and problem-solving goes a long way. 

Overall I'm giving this mod a solid 10/10. If you are interested in downloading it, go to Fallout 3 Nexus (here: http://fallout3.nexusmods.com/mods/5573/).
