Most Informative Exhibit Skanadario by Goodman Supply Best New Product Rulo Table by Versteel (@ Reid-Cooper) Best Promotional Campaign Haworth Along with the outstanding tradeshow, METROCON offered attendees 39 continuing education classes ranging from Project Management to Sustainable Design to Accessibility to Interior Design Legislation. Rounding out the classes was a keynote address by James Weiner, AIA of Collaborative Project Consulting titled “Finding the Source.” A team of tremendous volunteers from the professional associations executes METROCON. For five years, the organizations have organized the conference as a service to their members. Income from the event goes back to the chapters to fund special educational and recognition programs, as well as foundations, scholarships and charities earmarked by the individual organizations. The 2007 Committee was pleased to distribute just over $33,000 to each of the three organizations. As a collective charitable gesture, this year the METROCON Committee again offered attendees the opportunity to turn in their unused Thursday Night Happy Hour drink tickets, which resulted in a $425 donation to the American Cancer Society.

ASID held our Friday Design Interactive, Part 1 at the McGannon Showroom. Professionals who have taken various career paths in the Interior Design industry gave presentations discussing the realities of their interior design fields and revealed how they interact with their clients. Speakers were Emily Gibson ASID, Allison Gimpel Allied Member ASID, Carol Holley ASID and Karen Kroh ASID. After the presentation, buses were provided to transport the attendees to SMU for a tour of the new Embrey Engineering Building which is on the verge of LEED Certification and was designed as a model for sustainability for college campuses. “Speed Dating” with design professionals gave students opportunities to gain new perspectives by engaging in short informal question and answer with the professional speakers from the earlier program as they rotated around the Atrium space and enjoyed appetizers. LEED tour at SMU Embrey Building A guided tour of the Embrey building and information on LEED was conducted by Michael Paul, MSFM, CEM, CIAQ, LEED AP the Director of Energy Management and Engineering for SMU. Students and Designers enjoyed asking Michael questions about products, LEED, construction and many other design related issues. Thank you to Emily Gibson ASID, Allison Gimpel Allied Member ASID, Meghan Broussard Simecek Student Rep to the Texas Chapter Board and Mary Stelter ASID, along with our speakers, sponsors and the McGannon Showroom for putting this day in motion and making it all happen. This year for the first time, ASID expanded the Student Day events for a Design Interactive, Part 2. This additional day was developed by ASID in response to student requests for more interaction with the design professionals. Held at Capital Distributing, an ASID Industry Partner showroom, who also generously provided a breakfast buffet to start off the day for the attending students, educators and designers. The first session was Round Table discussions centered on the various aspects of getting that first job and internship with the topics of Resumes, Portfolios and Interviews. Students that were able to bring samples of their work were reviewed by the professionals. The second session was Part 2 of ‘Speed Dating’ in which the students could ask any questions they wanted about the designer’s own practices, about any aspect of the interior design industry or questions for clarification from the previous day’s events. The designers shared some of their experiences with current projects, client relations, scheduling and budget issues with real life examples of the challenges and fun of our profession. This gave the students a valuable experience to look beyond the classroom and to have a better realization of the inner workings of the designer, the client and the industry.

It was a great idea and was implemented for two years. In the end, it was felt that this extra layer hindered communication when the objective was to increase communication. Now the design community chairs are to attend all board meetings. Your ideas and concerns are greatly appreciated.

Owner Jeffrey Goodman really didn’t know what to do with his valuable prize. He sells high end plumbing and home fixtures to the trade and most of his wall space is taken up for product. With a suggestion from ASID Cindi Cagle he chose the perfect place. Their new sitting area and coffee bar. The plaster chosen for this job by owner/applicator Steve Olvera was Stucco Romano, an authentic Italian plaster. BiColore Metallo is topping off the plaster American Society of Interior Designers 14 to give it a border from the rest of the wall and to line it up with the display on the right. It is a polished plaster so at the right angle you can see reflections bouncing off the wall and a smooth marble feel when you touch it. Both plasters used are mined and made in Italy and processed in Verona. Jeffrey Goodman said, “It really adds some character to that area and I’m sure we will enjoy it as much as our customers will when they sit for some refreshing coffee.” About Faux Real Located in the growing town of Frisco, Faux Real services the DFW area and will travel the continental United States. Faux Real is trained and certified to apply SAFRA Italian plaster and a wide range of decorative finishes services to meet your need.

The current trend is toward a “new” traditional look that’s cleaner and simpler, with a fresh color palette. This style emerges in “Serendipity,” the newest collections of wallpaper, printed and woven fabrics from Thibaut. Serendipity is a surprising and delightful ensemble of traditional English style designs with a lighthearted feel. Delicate touches of watercolor, embroidery, and texture give the patterns a clean, stylish look. “Shrewsbury,” a traditional Jacobean pattern inspired by an antique document, has been re-created with a playful, casual watercolor technique. The design is featured on a crisp yellow background with accents of raspberry, aqua, white and grass green, and appears on a linen and cotton blend fabric that has a textured appearance. “Brunswick,” also based on an historic Provencal pattern, is a stippled paisley leaf design rejuvenated with lighter pinks, yellows and blues. “Bridgewater Damask,” a bold medallion pattern, has a soft stripe with an opaque overprint that takes on a Swedish look with its simple yet elegant features. The damask comes in gentle shades of sky blue, yellow and aqua as well as a chic combination of metallic on teal. The fabric is printed on a heavy cotton basketweave that helps give the design extra texture. With a more whimsical approach, birds and birdcages take center stage in “Tweety,” an imaginative decoupage of cut pieces from aged bonds. Festive, saturated colors appear on a luscious tangerine background, as well as a deep pool blue ground. “Lavender,” a modern take on the traditional floral, features tossed sprigs of lavender and stylized outlines of blue bells, harmoniously arranged in an open layout. In “Westfield,” watercolored leaves, flowers, and strawberries take on a fanciful, exotic look. Tiny dragonflies, bees, butterflies, and ladybugs flutter amid the vines. “Providence,” a re-creation of an Art Nuevo document, presents abstract flowers, animals, birdcages and birds in a fantasy garden. The design has simple, broad strokes of color, vibrant accents and subtle shadows, and appears on grass green, raspberry, and chocolate grounds. Vining flowers with embroidered detail unfurl and stretch upward in “Mendham.” The design has clean lines and simplistic shapes. “Queen Anne’s Lace,” a more delicate pattern, has sprigs of countryside wildflowers illustrated in a hand-embroidered fashion. Printed and woven companion fabrics complimenting the above designs can be found in Thibaut’s “Serendipity” Prints and Woven Collections. These and other Thibaut collections are available through interior designers and fine decorating stores.

News from TAID Letter from the TAID President Dear Members, When I was first trying to think of what has been happening since I last reported to you, it seemed like all has been quiet, with little activity since the legislative session ended in May. I realized that is not entirely true. Already the TAID board is working on ideas and making plans for the 2009 legislative session. We will again introduce the Interior Design Practice Act. With each legislative session we hope to be successful in our efforts. With each session that passes, we learn more about the political ways and understand better how to work with both legislators and with opposing legislative coalitions. Save e t the Da In our preparations for the 2009 session Donna Vining, Pat McLaughlin, and I, along with our lobbyists, attended a Texas Board of Architectural Examiners Legislative Summit Meeting in October. This is a new effort that the TBAE has initiated for the three professions under their regulation (architects, landscape architects, and interior designers) to meet and discuss their issues and legislative goals. The intent is for the professions to cooperate with each other. In our case, we hope to be working with the representatives for the architects to create wording for our practice act that both our professions can accept. Wouldn’t that be wonderful to not have their opposition during the next session? It is a lofty goal, but not an impossible one. The TBAE is still in the midst of defending the Interior Design Title Act against the three decorators who brought a lawsuit against them and the State of Texas. The lawsuit claims that our title act, any interior design title act, is unconstitutional in that it inhibits the freedom of speech. Their thought is that even if a person has not fulfilled the qualifications to be a licensed interior designer they should still be allowed to call themselves an interior designer, if the person performs the same services that a licensed interior design does. The TBAE can not talk about the lawsuit, but rest assured they and the Texas Attorney General believe in our Title Act and are definitely defending it. When I first became a member of the TAID board 7 years ago, I knew nothing about politics. I could not understand many of the conversations in our board meetings, nor did I have a good grasp of the purpose of a Practice Act for the interior design profession. I have learned so much and now actually enjoy having the ability to converse intelligently about interior design legislation and politics in general. I’m mentioning this because TAID needs more designers to be actively involved. You do not have to be a whiz at politics, you just need to have a concern about preserving our profession and elevating it to a more professional level. Please contact me if you are interested in being involved on any level, [email protected]. We will welcome you with open arms!

Well, you would be wrong. We have – may I speak frankly here? – a downright LOUSY annual survey return rate of about 10%. Why? Because members… • don’t understand why the Chapter even sends out a survey in the first place, • don’t want to take the time to fill out a (perceived) long survey and then have to mail / fax / email it back to the Chapter office, • get asked the same questions over and over without seeing the results, • don’t have sufficient room to fully answer some of the questions, • and actually get confused by the wording of some of the questions. As a result, we’re going to make some changes around here. Prompted by the increased return rates and enthusiastic participation in many other Chapters around the country, we’re going digital. Using an online survey service, we’ll have the ease of automatic, electronic compilation. Can you say instant gratification? Other benefits on conducting the annual Chapter survey with an online service include the abilities to… • have the flexibility to ask all different sorts of questions (multiple choice, true/false, open-ended, etc.) without the constraint of page inches, • allow members to type (instead of hand-write) their responses for easier reading, • and break the survey up into smaller pieces every month, reporting the results of the previous month’s survey when sending out the following month’s survey while explaining to members how the information will benefit the Chapter. Whoever predicted that we would evolve into a paperless society by the year 2000 was a tad bit optimistic. I don’t know about you, but my desk still gets lost under it, and I’m always looking for a way to avoid using it. Just one more reason to use the online survey service. So be looking in your email Inboxes soon for Part One of the survey. We promise that it will be brief and refreshing. Oh, and if you’ve put off updating your email address with the ASID Texas Chapter Office ([email protected] | 214. 748.1541), then this is a one heckuva good reason to do so. Speak up!

In October, we co-sponsored a CEPH luncheon with Sherwin Williams. We asked the local chapter of AIA to join us and they responded enthusiastically. It turned out to be a very informative CEPH. Come Visit us at our NEW Location 955 Slocum Dallas, TX 75207 214-741-4888 www.thegatheringantiques.com American Society of Interior Designers 26 Our plan is to take the months of November and December off from meetings, since everyone is so harried at the Holidays. In January, we’ll have an organizational meeting to set our calendars for 2008. Volunteers will then be assigned a date for chairing meetings and topics. An informal poll was taken, to get input from members from our whole area. Distance between the Corpus Christi area and the Rio Grande has always been a hurdle for our group. We do have volunteers from the Valley looking into special vendors/resources and points of design interest for meetings in the Valley. A special liaison will be appointed to update all the information for our current member list. Our tentative spring schedule includes: • Ferguson Enterprises for the new Kohler Showroom in Corpus Christi • Art Museum of South Texas to see the new addition to the facility • Asian Culture Museum Dallas Design Community By Helen Erdman, ASID Chair Dallas Design Community is alive and well and has new Board members along with returning Board members: Chair—Helen Erdman ASID Treasurer—Sharon Flatley ASID Communications Committee—Helene Terry IP, Student Committee—Julie Reynolds ASID Design Ovation Committee—Scott Frelick, ASID, Ramon Longoria IP, Julie Reynolds , ASID IP Committee—Helene Terry IP, Lindsey Mise IP Media Committee—Kathy Runkel, IP Program Committee—Kathy Runkel, IP, Debra Clevenger, Maike Cheng Welcoming Committee—Kathy Hammond, Bridget Raney, ASID Volunteer Committee—Isin King, Allied ASID Courtesy Board members include: Brian Fraley, IP, Cindi Cagle, ASID, Laura McDonald Stewart, ASID, IIDA, Rosemarie Marie, ASID, Christine Eustice, ASID, and Lindsey Villareal, IP.

El Paso Design Community By Sally Dinsmoor, ASID, Chair David Samaniego, showroom Manager of Ferguson Bath, Lighting and Kitchen Gallery hosted our September 27th meeting. We enjoyed a wonderful lunch and presentation by Jason Rogers of Viking Appliances from Albuquerque, New Mexico. We had a great turn out with fourteen members and four guests attending this meeting/presentation. Jason’s presentation included the latest trends in appliances along with helpful installation ideas and information on how Viking works with the design and builder community. Design Texas • Texas Chapter 27 L UCASSO S TONE www.lucasso.com Viking generously held a drawing for us during the meeting. Maricarmen Antillon was the winner of a new Viking blender. Gloria Valdez won a free cooking class for two in Las Cruces, New Mexico. 817.810.9061 Ferguson’s is one of only two ASID Industry Partners that we have here in El Paso; the other being Emser tile. Sally Dinsmoor handed out two more Industry Partner applications in the last week and she has plans to contact more designer showrooms and ask them to join our growing group. These Industry partners will be invited to every one of our meetings and they are an important part of our business here in El Paso. On October 25, 2007 we gathered for a terrific CEPH Luncheon with Lutron and Centauri Sales of El Paso. This presentation and luncheon was held at Café Central Restaurant in downtown El Paso. This class is titled, “Enhance Your Designs with Lighting Controls”. This is a new class being offered to us and it was a review of Lutron’s controlled window shades and residential lighting controls. Michael Ewert of Lutron traveled from Denver to make this presentation to us. We had a lot of questions for our presenter and enjoyed a truly fabulous lunch at one of El Paso’s best restaurants. We had sixteen ASID members and three guests attend this wonderful lunch meeting. We look forward to many additional enriching meetings throughout the year. Fort Worth Design Community Closets by Design Summer Report inadvertently omitted in the previous newsletter. By Connie Blake, ASID, Chair We decided to take a break from CEU's this past summer and focus on membership. June 19th we met for lunch at the Modern Museum of Art Cafe to welcome student members. A dozen (or so) professional and allied members visited with almost as many students from area schools. And, of course, we sprung for their lunch. On July 10th we met for lunch at local favorite "Cafe Aspen". Each of us was to bring a prospective member. Eight current members, including two we haven't seen in a while, and a dozen visitors enjoyed a yummy lunch and spirited conversation. We had a diverse group – young, old, commercial, hospitality, health care, residential and even our new Hunter Ask About Designer’s Discounts El Paso - Left to right: Nicole Ferrini; Newsletter Editor and Chair-elect, Fran Timbrook; service project chair, Sally Dinsmoor; Chair, Gloria Valdez; programs Director and communications, Irene Stanley, Treasurer; Maggie Adame-Alvidrez, Special Events Coordinator. American Society of Interior Designers 28 Douglas rep Chuck French. He really enjoyed being the sole male in the group! On July 12th the incoming and out-going board met at the Fort Worth Club. The slate for 2007-2008 was announced; Annie Mason ASID- Chairperson Judith Marsee ASID- Treasurer Macy Hill - Programs Emily Gilmore - Communications Trisha Troutz - Mentor Program Stephanie Jackson -Sponsorship Connie Blake, ASID - Past Chair Among topics discussed was the mentor program we are launching this fall. We are pleased to have 58 students and 30 mentors signed up so far. On September 11th, there was a "Kick-off Party" for the students and mentors to meet each other. Other programs for next year include another joint event with AIA Fort Worth, and "new member" and "prospective member" luncheons. We have three young designers coming onto the board, so activities and programs promise to be exciting. The August meeting was Metrocon. We throughly enjoyed the CEU's and vendor booths. It was even better than last year! I guess this is my last report as Chair - Annie Mason will be taking the helm in September. I'm sure she will bring enthusiasm and grace to the Fort Worth Board. I look forward to next year's programs and events. QUALITY 4922 CORNISH SERVICE SELECTION HOUSTON 77007 800.709.0208 VALUE 713.670.9800 By Annie Mason, ASID, Chair Wow, did we have fun at Metrocon – learned a lot and enjoyed meeting new vendors. We all agreed the Market Hall venue was better on several levels and the quality of classes offered keeps going up every year. Our new community board kicked off the year with a mixer at Dorian’s, a new(ish) furnishings boutique where several members orphaned by Gabberts landed. We were launching our Mentor Program, teaming students with us old wise ones. Twenty mentor teams mingled over munchies and ogled the beautiful furniture and accessories. The Fort Worth Business Press covered the event; some of our photos are attached. Duette® Architella™ The Next Generation of Honeycomb Shades The October meeting was a CEU presented by Sherwin Williams. See pictures attached. Steinway Pianos hosted the meeting with valet parking, delectable hors d’oeuvres and wine. Our Sherwin Williams rep Ashlyn Bourque greeted us with forecast color decks. Jackie Jordan, SW Design Marketing Manager, presented a fun and informative class on forecast colors; how they come about and their impact on fashion and interiors. She also described how trends are influenced by nature, and countries from around the world, such as Brazil, Russia, India and Saudi Arabia. Coming up is our Community Outreach Project for this year. We will gather at the Presbyterian Night Shelter to paint children’s furniture for auction at their December fundraiser. November meeting plans are for another CEU (TBA). And our annual Holiday Event is scheduled for December 11 at Amy and Randy Walton’s gorgeous home. The Duette® Architella™ Collection is the latest honeycomb innovation from Hunter Douglas. Featuring patented honeycomb within a honeycomb construction, Architella shades provide greater energy efficiency, more luminous color, more brilliant opaques, improved pleat retention and a softer touch. 7110 Bellerive • Houston, TX 77036 (800)392-4336 • gcwc.com Design Texas • Texas Chapter 29 Thanks to our new officers for their hard work: Annie Mason, ASID – Chair Stephanie Jackson – Sponsorship Connie Blake, ASID – Past Chair Judith Marsee, ASID – Treasurer Emily Gilmore –Communications Mary Hill – Programs Trisha Troutz, ASID – Mentor Program And a BIG Thank you to our generous sponsors: Tusa Office Solutions, Ferguson Bath & Kitchen, Scott & Cooner, Bentley Prince Street, Sherwin Williams, Kisabeth Furniture, Novikoff Furniture, Knoll, Inc, The Rug Company and Contempo Designs Lubbock Design Community No report available at the time of printing. Odessa/Midland/San Angelo Design Community By J.C. Chancellor, ASID, IIDA, Chair After a summer break from meetings, we kicked off a new season of meetings in September with Paula Tiller from Fabrica International. She gave a wonderful presentation on carpet and rug constructions and use in design. In October, Kelly Kelley from CPU Films gave a CEU on the different types of window film and their benefits. It was highly educational! Our next meeting is scheduled for November 14th at The Garlic Press restaurant in Midland for lunch. We are excited to have Kitty Wasemiller, ASID, IDEC as this month’s speaker. The presentation will be “Digital Design – Using Computers to Communicate.” Our goal is to increase participation in meetings by offering CEU’s and bringing new speakers to discuss interesting topics. I challenge everyone in the Odessa/Midland/San Angelo area to attend our next meeting! San Antonio Design Community By Richard Batz, ASID, Chair No report available at the time of printing.
