Hello, my name is snooki, and I am an Interior Design obsessed nerd...

As much as I complain about the amount of work
I constantly have, the lack of sleeping, eating, showering,
and free time that exists in my life, when it comes down to it I am an Interior Design nerd through and through. While searching for a sleeper sofa for a client at work today I allowed myself to get distracted by the fabulous website in which I was searching. Typically I am not the ultra modern type but I do have an attraction to bold, geometric designs. Ligne Roset has me designing my non-existent apartment in my head with every single piece of their furniture, accessories, lighting etc. What initially caught my eye and had me talking to myself at my desk about how beautiful it was, was the Calin 2 Fireside chair. One word, AMAZING! It's the type of piece that makes ultra modern not seem so scary. I want to go curl up in that chair because it just like wonderfully comfortable but it still has this beautiful, bold and elegant geometric draping work that is somewhat reminiscent of an evening gown. Then I found these wonderful transparent chandelier-esq with a modern twist wall sconces. This site just keeps getting better and better. I could go on all day about all the amazing things I found but I suggest you go take a look and find out for yourself how spectacular Ligne Roset is (I know we're all always looking for a good distraction so here it is, I give you permission)

hello from the big city!

Hello everyone!

I can't believe I've already been home for a month and half, actually I can believe it because it is boring as anything at home. Most of my friends have the right idea and have a house at school where they live all summer with their friends. Since I'm stuck at home missing my wolf pack like crazy I've gotten an internship in NYC to pass by the time. Its more of a 9-5 job than an internship but you catch my drift. I'm actually working for a commercial design firm which I never thought I would do in my life. I've always wanted to do residential design and had a slight hate for all things commercial design. The codes, the constant back and forth between 50 million different people working on the project, and the lack of "fun" products. So we'll see how this experience goes. I'm going in with an open mind and if all else fails I've got a step up on Contract for next semester. Hopefully with my newly busy schedule I'll find some time to slip off to the beach and soak up some rays, I don't want to come back to school looking pale do I? Well I hope everyone else is having a fabulous summer so far and is getting as much R&R as possible before the inevitable return to Norton (ick).

P.S. I hope you guys like the new layout! If you ever want to comment on something or want us to talk about something specific e-mail us at nortonhallwolfpack@gmail.com!
