DAAP Works 2010

Dan and I both follow diligent DAAP student @jenlkessler on Twitter. She's been posting about wrapping up her degree and about the DAAP Works show displaying all of the senior projects, so Dan and I decided to pop by the UC campus to check it all out.

A few shots of Ms. Kessler's work, for a children's library called "Nook:"


And a hodgepodge of other shots from DAAP Works 2010:





Mm, here comes a personal favorite. :)

I'm so glad we decided to pop over to DAAP! Dan was already familiar with the department, as he has a design degree from Miami and had spent a lot of time with friends at UC. But it's all new to me-- that's a bit of a trend on this blog, eh?

Traipsing through the halls of DAAP was such a reward for my screen-tired eyes. I loved perusing the projects by students of interior design, architecture, urban planning, fashion, etc. I only wish I could make the Fashion Show now!

as seen on apartment therapy

With the pending purchase of our new condo in OTR we've been spending a lot of time studying the interior and figuring out how we want to use the space, and what of our current furniture collection will, or will not, be moving with us.

For help I turned to Apartment Therapy and they were kind enough to post my question on their site - we got a lot of great feedback, including some from Cincinnati's own VisuaLingual.

So if you're in a design bind I highly recommend you check out Apartment Therapy, and even submit a question. Lots of readers there who have great ideas.
