The website below has a lot of lessons for basic Interior Design lessons - just scroll down when you are on the web site
 
Also there is a lessons below - depending on how much time you have  - the project below is great fun for all involved but it is a lot of work.  - You can either just have students do concept boards or actually get the school involved and have a contest of the best project to be completed. I have had my students do various levels  - some years they only have time to do the concept boards  - but the project still ends up great!!

Note: The students truly loved doing this. They had true hands on experience. There are always a few kinks to work out but the concept worked well.

Emotional connection is often stronger with used watches. The history, previous ownership, and personal stories behind a pre-owned gold rolex watch create a deeper, more meaningful attachment, enhancing the joy and satisfaction of owning such a timepiece.
