I have
recently renovated my garage by converting it into 2 bedrooms for my sons.
Between the two rooms is a "Chillin' Room" where the boys will
watch television, play PlayStation, and listen to music. I am looking for
an interior decorator to help me find the best paint, wallpaper, carpet,
tile, and furniture. Your names have been given to me as prospective
decorators. As my interior decorators, I need you to choose colors,
designs, styles, & products that will be most appropriate for boys that
are 5 & 9 years old. I will need a list of your decisions along
with a detailed price list. Please hurry as my sons are eagerly waiting
to move in!!!

As my prospective
interior decorators, you will need to examine the Scale Drawing in order to
calculate the perimeter of the rooms and the area. Then you will need
to choose products that you think would be best for my two sons and with the
best prices for me. You will need to do the following to each of the
rooms:
Remember, I will be looking for the
appropriateness of the items you choose and the price. I want to get
the very best deal possible. You will be required to give me a proposal of
you suggestions that includes a detailed price list for all items with a description
and picture. The price list must include unit prices, quantity needed,
total prices, tax, and any applicable shipping & handling charges.
The way you will put you proposal together is your decision. For
example, you can do a collage, a written report, a drawing, a commercial, a
PowerPoint presentation, a music video, or a newspaper article. Be
creative and have fun!!! |
