The last time I saw a simple yet sunny and stylish Spanish interior design was back in Barcelona when I took Spanish interior design course for three months. Ironically, I didn't find it in one of those highly exquisite and complex wrought iron clad walls with imposing chandeliers and Victorian-style lighting. I found it in a semi-rural corner of Spain. In this quaint abode, the windows were kept open and the walls were lined with old photographs and varnished (but chipping) cabinets. There were vintage valises and even an antique-looking bowl of cat food.

To me, that old Spanish house is a symbol of the rural Spain. I still admire the Mediterranean version, as evident in "Accents of Salado" designs. The courses I took opened my horizons when it comes to the beauty of old world Spain. Sure, the iron grills rust and the candle holders get dusty in time. I dote on the sight of it. I guess I've been so used to the sight of Hollywood cribs that it was a breath of fresh air to see something barely contrived.

There aren't too many eyes in favor of this preoccupation with the "rural", though. Some interior decorators I know still pine for the giant chandeliers and the dizzying medallions on the semi-lighted Spanish walls. My tendency is to adore the collection of potteries. Lots of Spanish women like to put potteries and dishes into their decorative cupboards. Also, the Spaniards are into tapestries. One visit at any Spanish house and you can recognize the culture by what is hanging on its living room walls.

 I have a penchant for unique, beautiful things, accents and textures, for vibrant colors and for putting them together in one neat pretty lil' package. So, need I say more? I think taking an interior design course would be the next step for me. I am planning to attend the Interior Design College, where I'll be learning and enriching my creative skills, my techniques and my artistic vision, of course, I would also study the more complex and technical factors of Interior Design, how to build structures and plan spaces and design. I think it would be a challenge, but, it's going to be a learning and enhancing experience as well. A plus with my Interior Design courses? I get paid to remodel homes, to modify and build character with other people's houses. And not just that, I get to know more about different foreign cultures and homes, the history of inspired houses and famous structures all around the world. Not all people can do those things, and get paid at the same time. Taking the Interior Design courses is going to be a life-turning blast for me, I can tell.
