Last year this time around I was obsessed with interior designing. I looked up internet (obviously), local books shops, anything I could lay my hands on for scraps on info on how to create a harmonious, functional and beautiful looking room.
We purchased our house in 2005. An apartment on the ground floor in Ghaziabad, U.P that was just right. If you look at it from outside it’s a nondescript, yet-another three storey building. But inside the ground floor apartment is my personal heaven. (Or at least I wanted it to be 
)
Between paying off home loan and stuff we kept the plan for renovation-beautification on hold until last year, when we managed to put some cash away for this purpose. That’s when I decided to pursue my dream. In the course of searching for proper guidance I discovered the site called Universal Class and found that they have online courses, rich with content and well within the budget. I ended up taking their course on Interior Decorating and also managed to get a certificate of outstanding performance through the assignments I submitted. (Yeah, modesty is my middle name 
)
Armed with all this info I created a floor plan and a mood board for my house.
We did get major pieces of furniture created (mostly wall mounted so as to save floor area), painting for all the rooms, added wall art pieces and other accessories.
How’s that?
If we use the internet in a constructive way, there are millions of learning, growing opportunities out there. In today’s world knowledge is really at your finger-tips, may it be from any field, any area.
I used the site “Universal Class” for interior decoration stuff, but that’s not all that they do. They have 100’s of courses in various areas (from Entrepreneurship to Medicine related, from Mathematics to Crafts) which people with less time and resources can avail of.
So, what are you waiting for? Head out to your favorite learning place on the net and start working on your dream today.., And yes, don’t forget to share with us and rest of our readers if you know of any such learning centers / courses which they can benefit from

I liked the idea… Amazing innovation.. Hats off to you for managing so many things together..
Thanks, Pankhri. All I can say is – ‘if there is a will, there is a way’
Would be nice if you could rethink about the inverter position. The battery fumes…….I’d rather have them out than in.
Hhhm. I guess I’ll have to do that sooner than later. I am thinking of getting the inverter set up inside the shaft area (this one opens at the roof and is mostly kept closed. A small table of sorts can provide elevation for my plants and below the table I can set up my inverter… Thinking about it, will post when I update the setting
