Week 10 Safe and Attractive Enviornments

Prompt: Home Entertainment:  Design your ideal home entertainment system.  Draw a diagram showing what the system would include and where it would fit in your home.

 Honestly this is what my entertainment center would include. And and I would add a DVD player that also routes Hulu and Netflix to my TV and that is about it. (I suppose if I was nice I would add a cabinet to hold a game system for my husband.) I have always wanted a fireplace and I think that is the perfect entertainment area.


A.  Remodeling a Room:  Choose a room in your home and create a presentation (using PowerPoint, a simple drawing on a piece of paper, using scrap booking methods, whatever you prefer showing how you would remodel it.  Include your finished design plan in your portfolio.

A client of your landscaping firm wants to include a deck or patio plus a mix of trees, bushes, and flowers to her backyard. She wants to incorporate a variety of color and textures. He home is in central North Carolina , the plants chosen should be suitable to that climate.
      1. Write down additional questions you would need to have answered before designing the plan. Then, take the role of the client and answer those questions.
      • What color of plants/flowers do you prefer? (Any and all colors would be good, I like to have a mix)
      • Does anyone in your family have any allergies that I should be aware of? (no)
      • Would you rather have more plants and rocks in your landscape or a big area of grass? (Big area of grass for play and games)

      1. Research plant materials that fit the client's criteria.
      • Central North Carolina has a haridness zone of 6-8 so I chose my plants in that zone to use in the yard.
