From communication to fabrics

I advantageously changed my daily suburb Parisian train to a much nicer mean of transport: Sandycove is definitely a nice place to work, and it is almost a pleasure to wake up to take the train in the morning, as the trip along the coast is gorgeous. I am a second year student in languages and communication, and as I will be doing my second semester in Argentina, which will start only in March: I had then two months with not much to do in Paris and an internship to complete before the end of the year. I found Martin Hudson and Gibson by complete hazard, through an Irish friend of my aunt. John and Ciara have been extremely welcoming, especially when you consider the fact that I have close to zero knowledge in Interior Design. I really appreciated the fact that they trust me with things I had no clue about, like doing a window:

Doesn't look too bad, does it? I am actually quite proud of it. It looked even better with Grethel's lovely fabric letters in front.

I actually found myself really interested in the field. I've always been genuinely interest in art and fashion (I have taken art classes in highschool, and I loved them). What I really like is that you get to see and work with really beautiful things (I think that I could look forever at the fabric books -some of them are just fascinating- -when I'm older and richer my house will be covered in Manuel Canovas-)

(I mean, look at THAT -Manuel Canovas "Samira" fabric book-)

by looking for the perfect item/fabric/wallpaper for a client, visiting gorgeous houses, "playing" with them to make people want to buy them, or even paint them.

Speaking of painting, here is my first painting work ever: I had to match a sample and create a  kind of "faux wood" effect on four timber legs. Unfortunately, we slightly misunderstood the instructions so we will have to redo them. 

I guess that is what I have loved so far in here: doing everything, from learning basic sales assistant skills (very useful!), doing things more related to my field (communication) to doing more creative work. It is especially interesting to test such a wide range when you are 20 and not sure of what you will do next!

Update:

The legs, the 2.0 version and much more appropriate, which means that I am going to paint around 60 them (and since I have done so many layers with such a random mix of colour, I have no idea how it will turn out. But well, let's see!)
