I took office the first of October in 2006 and we were in a whirlwind of activity. We had just finished the September Gala, and were looking at the upcoming Tradeshow. What a way to start a board term. The Tradeshow was a huge, gigantic, wonderful success thank to Warren DeYoung IP Member ASID, Marianne Kreter ASID, Jamie Namanny, Allied Member ASID and all of the fantastic volunteers. I am still hearing all the wonderful things about the event and many vendors have told me they cannot wait until the next one in October of 2007. I have also been hearing that our trade show was the best in all of Southern California. But of course. Marianne has already been planning for this years event. And as everyone knows, if Marianne is involved it is sure to be a success. Things settled a little after that and by mid November we had a well attended General Meeting at the Santa Ana Country Club sponsored by Catalina Carpet and Flooring. It was on the house of design, process and participation. There were several designers who had participated in previous houses and I sincerely thank them for speaking and always being part of the ASID OC Family and Team. Our Holiday Luncheon, coordinated by Sotera Townsend, Allied Member ASID was another wonderful get together. Should I say ‘Party’. It was a sunny day, a great location, and an exciting gathering of people. I was happy to see some new faces and some faces we had not seen in a while. Pamela Green, Allied Member ASID helped us break the ice with some guessing of member trivia. I think we found out some interesting things, shall we say ‘not for print’. What a great time, and again it was warming to be surrounded by the ASID OC Family and Team. January we were treated to a meeting at Smith and Hawken, an exterior design showroom, on the coldest night in January. But no one seemed to mind, we were cozy with our friendships and before meeting conversations. The speaker from American Clay was interesting. The product is timely with the Greening of our profession. I can’t wait to use it for one of my clients. For our programs I want to thank Madelyn Gauchat, Allied Member ASID and Pamela Green, Allied Member ASID. We are enjoying the locations and the information presented. In the newsletter we have a listing of the the upcoming events and we have a great year ahead of us. I also want to thank my Board. Each member is taking on new ideas and projects. We are expanding in many ways that may not be visible right away. But in the future we are going to see more and more member services and values for your memberships. Thank you for being a supporting chapter, and being the ‘ASID OC Family and Team.

If you’ve never worked on a Design House you can’t imagine the amount of organizational and artistic work that goes into a project of this magnitude. Diane Sparacino, Allied Member ASID, chair, and Chris Kittrell, Allied Member ASID, assistant chair are both guiding this event with great skill and grace. I hope you’ll all support our participating designers who are representing ASID to the public. We all benefit from the success and exposure the house gets. Please volunteer a little of your time to make the entire “House” related events a success. Even though we are in the first quarter of 2007, you may not realize that I am already planning for next year. To all the people who have responded to the recent survey, many thanks. Your input and suggestions will help guide us with our strategic planning. But if you haven’t sent your survey in yet, don’t feel the cut off time means you can’t contact me with your ideas and thoughts. My door is always open and there is never a dateline for good ideas. Several members attended Winter Market in Vegas, and other exciting events such as CEDIA and the Kitchen and Bath Show are coming up. But the biggest event is Interiors ’07. I hope you all plan to attend this wonderful conference held this year in San Francisco. I found last year’s conference inspirational, educational, and lots of fun. Classes are offered in a variety of interests and it’s a great opportunity to meet members from other parts of the country and to network with fellow designers from your own chapter. Our students are also busy preparing for Student Career Day. This year our chapter is in charge of hosting. Jamie Namanny, Allied Member ASID, and Taylor LeClaire, Allied Member ASID, are coordinating a full day of speakers and round table discussions to be held at Dacor. The keynote speaker will be Jeanette Pecarelli who is a top designer of Day, Cosmetic, and Surgical Spas. Ten specialty designers from our chapter will be discussing such specialty topics as Yacht design, Kitchen & Bath design, Media design etc. Students from all over southern California will be participating and all ASID members are invited. As always I want to thank all our volunteers for giving our chapter so much of yourselves. Balancing personal lives, and businesses is a trick unto itself and we appreciate all the talents and time you give to ASID. We are the great chapter we are because Adriel Cogdal, ASID, CID President-elect, ASID Orange County Chapter Design Orange County 5 Philharmonic House of Design By Diane Sparacino, Allied Member ASID ASID Chair, 2007 Philharmonic House of Design This years Philharmonic House of Design is nestled against a hill side in North Tustin. The Hampton style home was originally built in 1975 and reestablished in 2006-07. The family has embraced this 6,000 square foot home for over 30 years and uses it as family weekend retreat for their 4 married children and 5 grandchildren. The upper Veranda which wraps around the upper back portion of the home is a perfect place to encompass the beautiful views of the Orange County Valley and the Pacific Ocean clear to Catalina Island. The beauty of this home lies beyond the entry gate where you will see beautifully landscaped yards, a tennis court and a swimming pool, all which sets the stage for the weekend family gatherings. The vineyards on the property provide the homeowner with the grapes for their wine making hobby. The living quarters are located on the upper level and the bedrooms and activity rooms are situated on the lower level which makes this home unique. The Committee Members are working diligently with our Designers: Cory Kieth, Allied Member ASID Elizabeth Burris, Allied Member ASID Christine Tabora, Allied Member ASID Megan Crane, Allied Member ASID Frank Pitman, Allied Member ASID Susan Wesley, Allied Member ASID Gary Finley, ASID Cindy Smetana, Allied Member ASID Wendy Ann Miller, Allied Member ASID Laura Yorba, Allied Member ASID Samatha Gorrell, Allied Member ASID Megan Myers, Allied Member ASID Lana Hamdan, Allied Member ASID Shala Sharmardi, Allied Member ASID Deirdre Eagles, Allied Member ASID Linda Frese, Allied Member ASID Interior Designer's Institute Students-Art Institute of Orange County Designers Resource Collection-outside area Gatehouse-outside area To bring this Design House to a grandiose showcase level for opening day, April 24. Their use of linens, cottons, and blends from the color palette of Benjamin Moore’s Soft Affinity colors will be seen throughout the house. The furnishings will reflect the Hampton Chic style much different than the Design Houses in the past. The tour will run from April 24 through May 20, 2007. This is a “must see” Design House!

Design Orange County 6 Meeting for the Senses April 30 Genesis Audio, Sonance, Lutron, and Orange Coast Magazine are providing a meeting for ASID members only at the new Lutron Experience Center in Irvine. This would be a spectacular event just touring the Center, but they are sponsoring a CEU! Deborah Burnett, ASID will be speaking on ‘Color, Light, and Sound and How They Relate to the Environment’. Deborah is a dynamic speaker. I have attended several of her seminars, and they always end too quickly. She does extensive research and has new and interestin information that I just cannot get enough of. This will be a dinner meeting, and knowing the sponsors, this will be a very nice dinner and a meeting not to miss. If you wish to attend this event, make sure you get your reservations in as soon as you can. We have a very large space, but we most likely will have to have a cut off for attendees. You won’t want to miss this, there will be no registrations at the door. It will be pre-registration, invitation only. Press Releases… Press Releases… Press Releases... By David Rance, ASID We are getting our processes together to make sure we have an easy viable way for all of our members to submit information for press releases through the website. We will send as many press releases as we can. I want to make sure that we are sending press releases on all of the events, projects of interest, community projects, awards etc that our members are involved in / with. By sending these ASID will gain more clout in The OC. It also benefits each member to have a press release sent by the ASID OC office, showing its support. This all cycles and grows into huge benefits for the members, and it also improves our clout with the media contacts. We should be getting major coverage in every OC printed media for all of our members and for ASID OC. Press releases will also go to the broadcast media, but our focus first is the printed media. If you are not sure whether your information is news worthy, send it anyway. We will determine what to send. If we feel we need a little more information to ‘spiff it up’ we will let you know. Also, we will not handle any interviews, but direct them to each designer involved with each item. We are only the conduit to get your information out to the public. This is not a place for selling product or services, it is a place for information (which down the road will help you sell your services). Watch for more to follow.

Orange County was represented well in Nashville by our members. San Francisco is right up the street, ‘basically’. So, I encourage all of you to consider going. I know of many of you have already made plans to go. ,QWHULRUB[[[LQGG 30 There are several reasons to go, Foremost are the seminars that ASID has put together for our further education. There are a variety of seminars, so there should always be something for each member to find of interest. The second reason is to meet members from all over the country. I always learn something from other members, there are some cool stories that are related, It is great to learn from other’s experiences. The third reason is that you meet new IP Members and may find just the one you were looking for all of these years. I want everyone to know that Danmer Custom Shutters is sponsoring one of the Breakfasts, so I encourage everyone to attend it, and to thank Danmer for their continued support of our chapter and to National. Most of all,you have time to bond with your own chapter’s members. There is the Opening Cocktail Reception that provides a time to meet and break the ice with the members. Then the ASID Foundation has ‘Jubilation’ a fundraiser. Last years Jubilation was a fun, fun, fun party. Did I mention ‘fun’. On Saturday night the ASID Awards are given out at a black tie dinner and there are the Student Awards given out at one of the sponsored lunches. Yes, there are many opportunities, and adding to this we are planning on the OC members having dinner together on Wednesday and Saturday nights. If you don’t bond by then, you never will. See you there. Design Orange County 8 Click on ad for more information on this company.

INNOVATIVE DELIVERY SYSTEMS Meet an ASID Orange County Resource Ron Hoesterey - ROYAL MATTRESS By Sandra DeLaura, Allied Member ASID, IIDA Community Service, Chairperson 2007 We want to give Ron a very special thank you for his participation with our Community Service Project – Human Options for 2006 and he has just agreed to assist us in 2007. I had the pleasure of interviewing Ron Hoesterey, owner of Royal Mattress this month and tour his facility located in the city of Orange. Only 30 minutes from the Laguna Design Center. Our interview went something like this, in brevity . . . Tell me Ron, as a resource, what does Royal Mattress have to offer our Designers? Royal Mattress offers all of our customer’s premium mattress products, with a showroom on sight and great one on one customer service. The designers can bring their clients to our private showroom, or call me up and ask, hey Ron, I would like to send my clients over to try out a few mattresses, will you give them a tour? We offer custom designed mattresses from the classic style, to pillow top, adjustable and round design. We also make adjustable bed mattresses and replacements for sofa sleepers with inner springs and pillow top. We wanted to make our showroom bright and colorful for our customers because, our beds are so comfortable, we do not want them falling asleep on us (chuckle, chuckle). How do you suggest choosing a mattress? It is all about the desired ‘feel’ and needs of the customer. The mattresses are manufactured right here on sight, made with great quality materials. We are able to satisfy your needs and offer about any feel you would like, from a selection of seven to eight mattresses versus the confusing product array seen in a retail setting. I can show them our cut away bed samples and explain the inner construction process with the various coil and upholstery layering options. In this sample, it is easy to see the off set inner spring, endurolater pad, which keeps all the filling materials up above the spring unit for the entire life of the mattress, a second pad is then placed across the middle third of a mattress, since the majority of a persons body weight is between their shoulders and hips, we double reinforce this portion of the mattress, next we layer with cotton filling, cotton is the best medium to distribute weight in furniture, the next process is the inner button tufting, this becomes the skeletal support portion of the mattress and creates a longer lasting product, finally, above all of that, we place the comfort layers, these layers are a combination of polyurethane foam and fibers, followed by quilting. All of our mattresses are two sided. By showing the customer how a mattress is constructed, allows them to make an informed decision. Which mattress in your showroom is the most popular and why? The Elegance pillow top is our most popular. The reason is because it has the quality similar to our top of the line mattresses, the Enchantment and Enchantment pillow top, yet at a reduced price. What do you suggest to couples that have different preferences for their sleeping needs? Well, ya know I am not a marriage counselor, and there are just some things your never going to fix (chuckle). But, because of the combination with the soft pillow top and the firmness of the mattress, I would suggest the Elegance pillow top mattress. That is what my wife and I have, she is light and I am less than light and it works for us. cont. on page 13 Design Orange County 12 cont. from page 12 business is from referrals and our customers go back as far as 18 – 20 years, so that speaks for itself. For example, one of my customers called up at six a.m. in the morning and spoke to my foreman, saying he messed up and forgot to call and place an order for a few more mattresses to be delivered that morning, he asked my foreman to have me give him a call as soon as I came in, my Foreman said “well I am just going to put them on the truck with out a purchase order, because I know when Ron comes in that is what he will tell me to do”. Every employee in our company knows they are here to serve our customers. What has been the most fulfilling part of your job? What changes do you see in the future with mattress design? The biggest changes right now are the requirements for flammability, the new law going through July 1st by the Federal Government will require that the mattresses are open flame resistant and followed by record keeping. You state that great customer service is one of your company’s finest assets, tell me how you maintain that reputation. Our reputation as a company, is a solid quality manufacturer with great customer service, I know every one will say that, but the majority of our The people are the best part of the Furniture Industry for me, including the people I have met in ASID and through my involvement with the various associations. I have been on the Board of Directors for Western Home Furnishings Association, the retail side and President of the California Furniture Manufacturers Association, At one time I was on the city council in Tustin and then Mayor of Tustin, I am just a people guy. My whole life has benefited by networking. I just love it. I am very glad I bought this company, knowing nothing of the mattress industry 20 years ago. One of my favorite quotes that I have on my office wall reads “Throughout the centuries … There were men who took first steps down new roads armed with nothing but their own vision.” I have enjoyed every step.

Principles of Sustainable Design The ASID Foundation, Inc., is a lead sponsor of the exhibition, “The Green House: New Directions in Sustainable Architecture and Design,” at the National Building Museum in Washington, D.C. The exhibit and related educational programming examines innovation in green home building, design products and technology. The Green House exhibition discusses 5 Green Principles that underlie sustainable homes: 1 Optimizing use of the sun 2. Improving indoor air quality 3. Using the land responsibly 4. Creating high-performance and moisture-resistant houses 5. Wisely using the Earth’s natural resources When you are building, renovating, or choosing interior finishes and materials for your home, consider some of the following actions and measures you can take to incorporate these principles for more healthy, efficient, and sustainable living. 1. Optimizing Use of the Sun ■ Most of us rely on oil, coal, natural gas, and other fossil fuels to heat and cool our homes. Not only are these resources expensive and polluting, they are also being rapidly depleted. A simple and cost-effective alternative is to plug your house into the sun by either active or passive strategies. ■ Active strategies use solar panels that turn the sun’s heat into energy. ■ Adopting passive strategies means that you do some of the following: ■ Design and orient the house to minimize summer afternoon solar heat gain and optimize winter solar heat gain. In the northern hemisphere, this means orienting the long sides of the house to face south and north and creating roof overhangs and landscaping that shade the east, south, and west sides of the house. ■ Situate the house to take advantage of prevailing breezes during the spring, summer, and fall. Not only are these breezes valuable for cross-ventilation in the house, but they can make screened-in rooms and porches more comfortable places to live. ■ Plant shade trees and shrubs around your house. In summer, well-placed foliage helps keep the house cool, while bare branches in winter let the sunlight through to warm the house. 2. Improving Indoor Air Quality ■ Americans spend up to 90% of their time indoors where air quality can be more polluted than outdoors. Pollutants range from toxins, such as asbestos and formaldehyde found in building materials, to allergens such as mold, mildew, fungus, bacteria, and dust mites. The negative effects of these pollutants may cause health problems upon initial exposure or even many years later. ■ There are measures that can be taken to improve indoor air quality: ■ Choose ventilation systems that remove dirt, dust, moisture, humidity, and pollutants. cont. on page 15 Design Orange County 14 cont. from page 14 Click on ad for more information on this company. ■ Seal off the garage from the house to eliminate fumes from cars and lawn mowers. TIMELESS 3. Using the Land Responsibly ■ You can create a sustainable house by making good use of the land your house sits on and by considering the impact of the house on the surrounding environment. When looking to buy a new home, consider the following advantages: ■ Buy a smaller, more compact house on a lot that is located near work, public transportation, and community services to save fuel and money. ■ Choose a neighborhood where houses are clustered closer together, leaving more open space for residents to enjoy and helping to preserve the natural landscape. ■ Adopt smart gardening practices like using organic pesticides and composts, as well as native plants that do not require extensive irrigation systems. ■ Use landscaping rather than paved surfaces, which impede storm water infiltration, often resulting in the contamination of local water sources. EXQUISITE 4. Creating High-Performance and Moisture-Resistant Houses ■ The roof, walls, windows, and doors of a house create an envelope that protects residents from the weather and intruders, including pests, noise, and dirt. It also controls the entry of sunlight and, most importantly, helps maintain indoor comfort. Maintaining a constant level of comfort is often wasteful and expensive but can be done efficiently and economically by the following means: ■ Create a building envelope with more durable and energy-efficient materials that reduce drafts, balance room temperatures, control moisture, and save on heating and cooling costs. ■ Seal any gaps or cracks where moisture can get in and heat or cooling can leak out. ■ Schedule a home energy audit. Many utilities offer them for free and the expert advice can result in big energy savings. DISTINCTIVE 5. Wisely Using the Earth’s Natural Resources ■ The earth provides us with a finite amount of natural resources and it is our responsibility to make them last. It is also up to us to use these resources in ways that are not detrimental to the environment or our health. When selecting products and materials to use in your home, look for ones that have: High levels of: • Renewability, Reusability & Durability Low levels of: • Embodied energy, or energy required to extract, process, and transport materials • Environmental impact, or negative effects on outdoor and indoor environments TINOLOGY ■ Select materials, such as those without formaldehyde, that limit off-gassing, have minimal or no toxic properties, and do not shed dust or fiber. ■ Test your home for toxins that influence air quality with a do-it-yourself kit or hire a specialist. ■ Use the exhaust fan over your stove to remove gases like carbon monoxide. Use fans in the bathroom to remove water vapors that can cause molds to grow.

Professional Development Chair, Judy Deaton,ASID, IIDA and Rita Brown, ASID, IIDA who both help organize the event, stated that the Chapter has received an incredible amount of positive feedback from the workshop. It is was one the most successful in California. Judy Deaton, Rita Brown and Terry Rothgeb The OC Chapter encourages Allied Members to take the NCIDQ exam as soon as they become eligible. The STEP Workshop enables participants to prepare for the exam in a logical process that enhances participants opportunity to pass the exam. The next NCIDQ exam is schedule for fall 2007.

The LED (Light Emitting Diode) By Gilda N. Bahadori History of LED lighting: The use of Light Emitting Diode (LED) technology in the lighting industry is a relatively new phenomenon. This is primarily because it is only in recent years that high intensity devices have become available. LED can not produce white light at this time, the white light come from the mixture of red, green and yellow LED light. The concept of mixing the light output of LED’s was probably first implemented in 1979 by Jerry Laidman at a company called Sound Chamber. The product named “Saturn” involved a spinning propeller. Each of the three wings of the propeller was constructed of circuit boards fitted with red, green and yellow LED’s. (Blue LED’s had not yet been invented!) reduced energy consumption and maintenance costs allow LED’s to provide an excellent return on investment. Along with energy rebates, tax exemptions and energy re-evaluation, these options are worth exploring when attempting to reduce energy costs. If every U.S. house hold replaced just one standard 60 watt bulb with a CC Vivid LED bulb, we could save 24,184,400,000 watts or 24,184.4 mega (million) watts per day. These figures were based on 103,000,000 households with an average use of 4 hours per day per house. The next technology jump occurred in 1993, with the invention of the blue LED by Nichia. Codes and Standards: In early 1994, Artistic License prototyped what is believed to be the first full color mixing design using red, green and blue LED’s. According to LED Magazine, it is unclear under the current California Title 24 guidelines how LED’s apply to the new standards. There seems to be a fine line determining whether they qualify as high or low efficacy. The lighting techniques: This new phenomenon is being used today more and more in different areas of our lives such as; Residential, Commercial, Art installations, Telecommunications (cell phones lights), Entertainment (most Las Vegas Strip), Medical, Dental, Forensic Light Sources, Transportations (cars), Traffic Signals, Pedestrians lights, and Street lights. LED luminaries can be used for Step lights, Down lights, In ground fittings, Cove lighting, Strip lighting, and Wall & floor panel. LED’s have two different lighting control systems, one is the sideline wall plate lights, which is stainless steel plates control panels suitable for in and out door, entry ways, walkway lighting and step lighting. The other is the battery operated LED’s which are used for decorative candles, scuba diving flash lights and toys. Costs: In California, lighting accounts for approximately 28% of home electricity use, and almost 40% of commercial use. As a nation, we spend about one-quarter of our electricity budget on lighting, or more that $37 billion annually. LED’s are one of lighting and electrical technologies available to help companies cut energy costs. The longer lifespan and Design Orange County 24 As discussed in the 2008 California Building Energy Efficiency Standard – Initial Key Topics Areas, LED’s do posses a few advantages that apply to code. They do have dimming abilities and are compatible with motion sensors. Also found in LED Magazine, is a temporary allowance for decorative LED’s such as residential lighting fixtures and ceiling fan light kits, but only if “total wattage does not exceed 5W, the average LED system efficacy is at least 201 M/W and the LED is used to supplement a primary light source that meets all of the applicable performance characteristics outlined.” Advantages and Disadvantages: Energy efficiency, Long life, Reliability (LED’s are virtually unbreakable), Economy (initially high priced, but LED’s offer a significant saving in the long run), Environmentally Friendly (LED’s have lot less impact on environment), and better safety & security (less heat, no glass to break, no hot filament or noxious fumes), are some of the advantages of LED’s. Lack of availability (LED’s are new phenomena and are still developing in the lumen package per unit and per watt), Poor standardization (replacement parts availability), Costs (LED’s are expensive, a single AC bulb will cost about $40.00), Light field (LED’s do not radiate light in 360 degrees like incandescent lights), Eye damage (Ultra bright and Ultra-Violet LED’s can damage your eyes from prolonged exposure), are some of the disadvantages of LED’s.

Each evening has had engaging speakers, delicious food and delightful libations. Some fabulous prizes have been given away to members through the business card raffle and it has been great to see friends regularly at these meetings. November started us off at the beautiful Santa Ana Country Club sponsored by Catalina Carpets. ASID members were greeted by the wait staff offering refreshing wine and martinis. Pamela collected business cards for several raffles that included rugs from Catalina Carpets and gift certificates from Nordstrom’s. Lucky winners were Linda Lubash, Allied Member ASID, Sheila Hupp, ASID, CID, June Kuveke, Allied Member ASID and Kimberly Frazen. A delightful meal consisting of beef with mushrooms and vegetables was served. As the event progressed, Rick Wagner from Catalina Carpets spoke to the members about their product and the service available to designers. Afterwards, the evening was spent discussing this year’s Philharmonic House of Design. Diane Sparacino, Allied Member ASID, committee chair, along with Jamie Namanny, Allied Member ASID, last year’s chair, spoke about the house, the processes of selection through set criteria and the benefits of participating.

Pamela Green broke the ice with an engaging game of tr ivia about var ious members. It was great fun to learn about the incredible former lives of our fellow members. But, we all wondered, how did David Rance, ASID, CID escape this game? Each diner was offered a choice of beef tenderloin or chicken along with rosemary vegetables. And dessert, oh yes, chocolate cake. Our President, David Rance, ASID, CID h a d t h e o p p o r t u n i t y t o g r a c i o u s ly t h a n k e a c h o f o u r g a l a sponsors and awarded each with a beautiful certificate.
