Custom Lead to Custom Opportunity Record Type

We have 3 Lead Record Types: Interior Extended Conversion, Interior Quick Convert and Interior Trad Show Lead

If we create any of the mentioned leads and then convert them to an Account and Opportunity using the convert button, is there a way to specify which type of account and opportunity it will be saved as? 

For example:

If the lead record type is "Interior Quick Convert" it should map to:
1. Account Record Type: Interior Contractor
2. Opportunity Record Type: Interior Quick Convert Opportunity


Another example:

If the lead record type is "Interior Extended Conversion" it should map to:
1. Account Record Type: Interior Contractor
2. Opportunity Record Type: Interior Contractor

Any direction on how to accomplish this would be appreciated. 

Thanks!

You can write a before trigger on Lead to check for IsConverted and update the record types accordingly on Accounts and Opps.

Could you give me a quick tip on how to do this? Because what is happening is when I created my workflow, it seems it keeps getting converted to another Account Record Type Please see document in order to view what I have done so far. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/28790921/Interior%20Quick%20Convert%20Workflow%20063014.docx
