Congratulations to all who participated and especially to those who won. We are pleased to celebrate excellent design in our vibrant community. This year’s judges were an exceptional group with Paul Taylor of Trends magazine, Leslie Newsom Rascoe of Veranda magazine, a former ASID MN member, Julie Leufvenius, and William Olafsen, from Chicago. The judges spent a full day reviewing our 99 awards — quite a task for anyone. “Industrial Chic” was the theme for our annual awards hosted by Jennifer Blaise Kraemer, of Minneapolis St. Paul Magazine and Dez of KS95 Radio. Thank you to our Awards Competition and Awards Gala committees and to all of our Industry Partners for this very special evening. ASID Minnesota continues to move forward with the second year of our strategic plan. ASID leads collaboration with those working to promote the value of interior design. ASID prepares its members to excel in dynamic and evolving profession competing in a global market place. The ASID Minnesota public relations committee has worked diligently to identify and send a specific unified ASID brand message. The ASID ads, published in the Mpls.St.Paul Home & Design Magazine, and displayed on the television monitor in the ASID office, speak volumes for our industry. ASID Minnesota team is projecting growth this year. As we cultivate new members, while retaining our existing ones, we not only grow our chapter, but build relationships and a solid society. The second annual Design Week, in which ASID is a sponsor with Midwest Home magazine, will launch February 16th. Design Week features a keynote speaker and is a week-long event. Lastly, we hope for legislation to approve licensure for ASID designers. This important step will allow interior designers to be equal to our other industry professionals. We have certainly prepared a path for success with education, continuing education units, and our many hours devoted to health, safety and welfare of the public. Best regards, ANGELA PARKER President ASID MN Chapter 2 | WINTER 2013 | ASID MINNESOTA CHAPTER MINNESOTA A LETTER FROM OUR PRESIDENT-ELECT Dear ASID Chapter, “It’s going to be a privilege guiding us through the next two years.” Well, here we are at the beginning of a new term. I’m your new President-elect for the Minnesota chapter. It’s going to be a privilege guiding us through the next two years. I’ve discovered already how busy and involved many of you are in our chapter; one of the best in the country. So many of you are active behind the scenes on the many committees that do so much of the work that makes our chapter great (excluding Tabitha’s hard work, of course.) I hope the next two years will only increase that participation. Sharing and interacting with your colleagues is so important; helping us to focus and direct us in the future, while still having fun along the way. One of our own, Rachelle Schoessler Lynn, FASID, is the new National President for the coming year. How’s that for a team? We have just celebrated another wonderful Awards Gala showing to the world some of our best wares and talents from our chapter. This year we had more entries than ever and some wonderfully qualified judges. Two were well known and experienced designers with excellent credentials, William Olafsen from Chicago and Julie Leufvenius, ASID, from Naples, and two were editors for design magazines, Leslie Newsom Rascoe from Veranda and Paul Taylor from Trends. The awards, gala and sponsorship committees worked hard to prepare a fun-filled evening for all of us. Thanks to the judges for their very hard and judicious work and to everyone who entered. Thanks also to our wonderful sponsors who are instrumental in making this happen. A special thanks to our hosts Jennifer Blaise Kramer from Mpls. St.Paul Magazine and Dez from KS95 Radio. A really fun night with great food, drink and camaraderie was had by all. So sorry everyone can’t be a winner, but “congratulations” go out to all of those who did win.

Moderated by Julie Dasher, the panel consisted of the following: Rosemary Merrill, Industry Partner & Representative for Casa Verde; Mary Maney, ASID, Crystal Kitchen Center; Andrea Dixon, Allied ASID, Fiddlehead Design; and Mary Jane Pappas, ASID, Pappas Design. They were asked a series of questions about what is trending, what is the process of working with a K&B designer and what challenges are they facing in the current environment. This was the third in a 3-part series of design panels held throughout the year. The first was a panel of architects and the second was comprised of builders and remodelers. The primary goal was for designers to gain valuable information in areas that are not necessarily their expertise. Working with a K&B designer can add value to a project because they will take care of the measuring, ordering and installation. They can assist the designer in researching how the client lives. Understanding how the equipment works, aging in place, and living green are just a few of the many areas the designer needs to be aware of in order to create a cohesive design. The K&B designer has the knowledge and daily experience to ensure that the process goes smoothly. The primary focus is to collaborate with the client to get the design they desire without feeling like they are paying everyone. There was dialogue around the pros and cons of using custom verses stock cabinets, who supplies what in the design, and the variety of ways designers can be compensated. What trends does the panel see in kitchen and bath design? Subway tile remains popular, as well as Cambria and quartz countertops, soapstone countertops, more honed finishes, painted wood and varying colors in cabinetry. At the conclusion of the discussion, the group gathered around construction drawings shared by Mary Jane Pappas. This gave designers a better understanding of the numerous facets that go into kitchen and bath design. The devil is in the details and working with a K&B designer can help minimize those problems that often occur in the design process.

Silhouette Window Shadings The weather is warm, the sun is bright, and it’s the perfect time for your customers to show off their style with elegant light-diffusing window fashions from Hunter Douglas. Silhouette® window shadings, Pirouette® window shadings and Luminette® Privacy Sheers offer a variety of ways to beautifully diffuse light into the room while helping filter out ultraviolet rays that could damage interior furnishings and keeping homes cooler during the warmer months. Silhouette window shadings Like the subtle cast their name suggests, Silhouette window shadings, with the Signature S-Vane™, easily create beautiful gradations of light and shadow. Soft fabric vanes are suspended between two sheers, diffusing softened light deep into the room. The vanes can be tilted for varying degrees of privacy while maintaining ultraviolet protection. Pirouette window shadings Uniquely designed with soft, horizontal fabric vanes attached to a single sheer backing, Pirouette window shadings control light in an entirely new way. The vanes expand to filter natural light or contract for a perfect view of the outside. Our revolutionary Invisi-Lift™ system enables the vanes to float gracefully, and even opened, they offer ultraviolet protection and reduced glare with the sheer backing. Luminette Privacy Sheers and Modern Draperies Luminette Privacy Sheers Similar to Silhouette and Pirouette window shadings, but in a vertical orientation, Luminette Privacy Sheers feature crisp fabric vanes set between translucent sheer facing, marrying elegance with precise light control. The vanes rotate for varying levels of privacy, while the soft fabric sheers beautifully diffuse sunlight into the room. Perfect for large expanses of windows and sliding glass doors, Luminette fabrics are also available for creating coordinated overtreatments and decorative room accessories.

The secrets were revealed to everyone who attended the ASID MN PR media event on October 24, sponsored by Painterati and Pro Source. Keynote speaker Amy Panos, Senior Editor Home Design of Better Homes & Gardens (BH&G) magazine, gave attendees first-hand tips and tricks on how to raise their odds of getting published. With an audience of 36 million readers, the average BHG reader is female, age 48, with a young growing family and a medium income of $63,524. Panos said their goal is to attract younger readers while still appealing to empty nesters. She stressed that BHG is not a “design,” but a “lifestyle” magazine, with emphasis on showing the reader how to create a meaningful, beautiful and creative life at home. The magazine’s motto, “It’s where life happens,” exemplifies this mission. With a special focus on entertaining, the magazine shows the reader how decorating and entertaining go hand in hand. Panos offered a list of criteria that will help your projects get noticed by the BH&G editors. 1. Relaxed but refined family homes. “The home does not have to be designed within an inch of its life,” said Panos. “We want to see the way the family lives in their home.” Projects should highlight the family’s lifestyle, showing flexibility and a sense of casualness. There is a “Better Living” section in the magazine where they dissect the room and share design ideas. 2. Kitchens with color. She said they receive an abundance of white kitchens, since it is a very popular design style, but the projects that really stand out to the editors are those with pops of color. They are looking for suburban kitchens with a mix of color on the cabinetry, interesting wood or tile, and texture. 3. Small bath makeovers. They are looking for projects with a sense of refresh and reuse. Design that shows ways to maximize space, add character and incorporate decorative details appeal to their readership. 4. Outdoor living. Twenty to thirty percent of the editorial content in BH&G is about gardens. Patios, porches and decks that function like indoor rooms are very desirable. Dos & Don’ts 5. Rooms full of smart ideas, DIY and design lessons. “Makeover” projects are particularly popular with BH&G and their readership. Showcasing how a thrifted piece was updated helps the reader see how she can recreate a room with a piece she found in a second hand store. When pitching a project, highlight an element that brings the clients’ personality into the room and shows how they were smart in their choices, saving and splurging wisely. • DO take a lot of Before and In-Progress photos. Good digital photos styled appropriately are fine for submission. • DO take After photos. Photos do not have to be styled to complete perfection. They want to see how people really live.

Many readers live in small spaces, so they are seeking projects that show how to pack function and style in a room with limited square footage. How do you make the space cohesive and feel bigger? 7. Entertaining ideas. Do you have a client or know someone who is great at entertaining? The BH&G staff is looking for unique and authentic ideas about how to entertain in style. They have twelve style issues to fill, so they are always looking for fresh concepts that are new and different. 8. Polished casual. Panos said this is the “Holy Grail” for BH&G. They like family friendly spaces that help their reader understand what makes color work. Using color in a big way, not just on accent pillows, helps readers take the leap beyond beige. Projects using traditional furniture styles with a modern twist and painted furniture, slipcovers, texture, worn wood, antiques and farmhouse elements are popular at BH&G. A global mix is very desirable; projects that incorporate a traveled and eclectic look complete with ethnic and animal prints. Design that takes widely different styles and shows how to pull them all together. They receive many projects with blues and greens, so if the designer has a palette that goes beyond this, it may get noticed by the editors. The “chic country cottage” look is still a mainstay, but above all, they are looking for projects that show the personality of the homeowner. The designers who attended this event walked away with key ideas about getting their projects published in BH&G. During the second hour, representatives from Artful Living, Midwest Homes, MSP Magazine and Spaces talked about ideas for designers shoot will show them casually living in their space. DO NOT promise they will be photographed. • DO let the editors know why you think this is a great story for BH&G. Put your editorial hat on and think about the story perspective. What is unique about this makeover and what obstacles did the client overcome? Provide the family background to help the editors pull the story together and bring the reader in. DO NOT be upset if the story angle changes. How to Get Noticed by the Media to get their work published in local media. Mark Ehlen Creative Communications and Red Leaf talked about the media support services they offer for designers. Here are some of the highlights. ARTFUL LIVING MAGAZINE — Frank Roffers, Founder • The premier shelter and lifestyle magazine in the Upper Midwest • 100 percent original editorial content • Oversized format, remarkable covers, superior paper, fit and finish • They prefer out of town projects.

Project submissions criteria: • Must have been completed in the last 3 years and have a strong MN connection • Digital images and/or a link to photos (before and after) • Submitters name and role, contact information • Project location, completion date and description. SPACES — Kathy Severson, Publisher. Owned by the Pioneer Press • They hold 3 editorial previews per year where designers can pitch their portfolios. Designs are selected based on the merit of the project, not whether you advertise. Editorial integrity is very important. Theme of the issue is key: • Outdoor living — June/July • Kitchen & Bath — Oct/Nov • Before & After — Feb/Mar EHLEN CREATIVE COMMUNICATIONS — Mark Ehlen, Owner • Interior and exterior photography of residential and commercial projects. • Business headshots for print and social media • Hybrid video products — Still photos and video clips combined with music, voice and text to showcase your project. • Panoramas/Virtual tours you can view on an iPad or website • Video business cards RED LEAF — Brian McCashin, Owner • Print and website design • Electronic resource preparation and organization • Layout for project highlight page • Web-based project highlight page • Ideas and execution for promoting your project beyond the submission process. Keynote Speaker: Amy Panos • DO put your project on your website. There is no conflict to publish it in local magazines, trade publications, on your blog or in your portfolio. DO NOT pitch it to a major blog, national magazine or website such as Houzz. This could be a deal breaker. • DO contact BH&G’s local Field Editor, Megan Kaplan. She is a great resource. If you send her a sneak peek of your project, she will scout it here and help you pull together a package to send on. You can contact her at [email protected]. Phone: 612-877-2949. • DO practice patience. More often than not, it will take several months for the editors to make a decision. DO NOT be offended if BH&G brings a stylist for a photo shoot. They always do. DO NOT be surprised if your project turns up in another magazine owned by Meredith Corporation, as they will own the rights to your photos. ASID MINNESOTA CHAPTER | WINTER 2013 | 19 FEATURE ARTICLE Dunwoody’s Interior Design Program MINNESOTA By Colleen Slack, Allied ASID We regret that Dunwoody was not included in “Profiles of Interior Design Programs at Area Schools” in the fall issue of Design Directions. Dunwoody »W hat is the focus of your program? Are there new technologies and/or skills you highlight? Dunwoody’s Interior Design program is a professional, applied education with an emphasis on collaboration, critical thinking, and technology, leading to a Bachelor of Science degree in Interior Design. The faculty is comprised of working professionals who are passionate about the field of design as well as student success. We are committed to upholding the standards of the Council for Interior Design Accreditation (CIDA), and Dunwoody is accredited through the year 2019. We are a private, non-profit college with a program that values hands on learning driven by the words of our founder, William Hood Dunwoody, in 1914 to “provide for all time a place where youth without distinction on account of race, color or religious prejudice, may learn the useful trades and crafts, and thereby fit themselves for the better performance of life’s duties.” Our students practice hands on learning by utilizing hand rendering, drafting, and building furniture and models in our materials lab with power tools. We also are passionate about technology. Dunwoody Interior Design students master drafting and BIM using AutoCAD and Revit, model making with Revit, Sketch Up, and 3D Printing, and rendering with Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign. The use and application of design theories, interior materials, building codes, cost analysis, site visits, and project management software are also an important part of preparing our students for a career in Interior Design. Design studios foster an engaging environment where creative problem solving is emphasized. Students also participate in cross disciplinary design charettes with their design and construction peers. This holistic, career based approach prepares the student to be a productive, successful professional. 20 | WINTER 2013 | ASID MINNESOTA CHAPTER » W hat is the size of your program (number of students)?
