In case you haven't already heard the exciting news; the Texas Gulf Coast Chapter has a brand
new home! After several months of planning and build out, we are thrilled to be moved in and
anxious to start sharing all of this space and amenities with the chapter. Our new ASID office is
located in The Houston Design Center, 7026 Old Katy Road, Suite 285, Houston, TX 77024.
Many thanks again, to John Robinson, FASID and Marlys Tokerud, ASID for their cutting
edge design and to Greg Ortega of G&D Custom Works for executing their plan and helping us
to complete everything on time. To Linda Marble and crew for getting us moved and organized!
And a sincere, heartfelt thanks to the Houston Design Center for making us feel welcome and
for bringing us to our 'new home'.
Well over 200 people attended our Celebration and Open House on April 8th. You will find
numerous photos through out this newsletter that truly captured the festivities. Alton LaDay
orchestrated a fun evening for us all. Jim Manning of Catered Affairs provided the delicious
appetizers and Barefoot Winery donated the beverages. And Christine Mills kept the guests
entertained with great tunes. Please make note of the two gorgeous oriental rugs in the office.
We have the special Industry Partners of Pride of Persia Rugs and Ashley Antique Rugs to
thank for those additions. And also a thank you to Mr. & Mrs. Nader Goravanchi of Goravanchi Persian Rugs for the beautiful
floral arrangement you sent to the office. We enjoyed those flowers for over a week!
We have so many incredible people to thank that it would be impossible to list them all in this letter. Please look to our 'Thank
You' page in this issue because without all of your help, support and contributions, we could never have achieved opening this new
office. A special thank you, however, to M&M Carpet Showroom for our custom front door mat and the seminar room carpet, Alkusari
Stone for their assistance with an existing slate countertop, Theron Moore Wallworks for coming to our rescue with the red wall,
Daltile for the granite countertops and the fabulous mosaic glass back splash, The Houston Showroom for fabricating and installing
the stone as well as the glass tile, Tile Roofs of Texas & Moss Landscaping for the great looking entrance containers and plants, Gulf
Coast Window Covering for the shades in the seminar room, Sunbelt Window Film for the window frosting and the great custom
ASID logo cutout, and Design House and John Brooks Showrooms for the loan of some great looking furniture for our special
evening. Also to Donna Vining for her help with the artwork, I say 'Thanks!' And a huge thank you to Relative Sound for the flat
screen TV on the moveable stand that will give us great flexibility for future seminars and power point presentations. We would still
be in the dark, if it weren't for Ralph Schiller of American Light. Thanks for going the extra mile for us on the lighting!
Interiors 08', in New Orleans, was an amazing conference and
I had a wonderful time. We were treated to some impressive
speakers regarding 'Green' Design and also Universal Design,
just to name a couple of topics. One of our very own members,
Thomasine Johnson, spoke during one of the sessions entitled
'Diversity in Design'. I am so proud of her and her passion for
outreach in the community. If you would like to get involved in
her 'Design in the Community' committee, please call the ASID
office leave your name and number.
The Texas Gulf Coast Chapter has been given an exciting new
fund raising opportunity by DSA Publishing & Design, Inc. We
are going to print our own TGCC Cookbook! Look for more details
in this newsletter, but the main points are for $ 700.00, the
designer gets two pages in the cookbook. You submit a favorite
Gulf Coast region recipe, a head shot of yourself, as well as a
professionally photographed kitchen and/or dining area project

Peer Tables
There are many reasons you may not have joined a peer table.
Among them might be one or two of the following:
• I do not have time.
• I do not understand what they are
• I’m afraid of commitment
• No one has asked me.
The list could go on and on; however, if you have never been on
a peer table, it is truly hard to appreciate the benefits and advantages that come from communicating with and sharing ideas and
experiences with others in your design profession.
NOW IS THE TIME TO FIND OUT WHAT YOU ARE MISSING!
Enjoy a “summer social in the park” at the The Grove, Houston’s
fabulous new hot spot, hosted by ASID Industry Partners. The spectacular floor to ceiling windows bring the outside in, creating a special “picnic
in the park” spirit throughout the opulent dining area. This jewel of a
new restaurant was designed by noted architect Larry Speck, former
dean of the School of Architecture at the University of Texas, with intriguing
interiors by SDG partner Candice Schiller. The environmentally friendly
second floor “Treehouse” bar is a must see. The menu for the evening
will be created by Houston’s very own Chef Robert Del Grande of Café
Annie. Join us for an exciting evening of food, fun, games and the opportunity for new friendships with ASID members and Industry Partners.

Jubilation ’08 - Successful and Festive Night
By Barbara Schlattman, FASID &
Odette Lueck, FASID, Jubilation Co-Chairs
Jubilation ’08, the ASID Foundation’s major fundraising event, was
a festive night starting with the crowd carrying hurricanes and clad in
beads following a Mardi Gras second line to the fun filled event.
With almost 200 silent auction items and live auction items ranging
from a trip to an Italian villa to antique candlesticks, there was something
for everyone.
The event raised over $120,000 and was a tremendous boost for the
ASID Foundation’s growing list of sponsored projects. One of these
projects, REGREEN was unveiled during conference. The ASID Foundation
and the U.S. Green Building Council partnered on the development of
best practice guidelines and targeted educational resources for sustainable residential improvement projects. Your dollars have made a difference by making such projects possible.
The ASID Foundation Board of Trustees wishes to thank all donors,
members who secured items, and to all who purchased items. Your support
has made a difference.
Thank you.

completed by you. We are striving to have this cookbook completed in time to sell in
our ASID Woodlands Show house in October, so in order to participate, you need to
sign up right away. This book will be a great marketing tool for the designer to use with
clients and will also be a fundraiser for the TGCC. The book is limited to the first 60
designers to sign up and the deadline for submittal of photography is the end of May,
so don't hesitate to be a part of this exciting project! Call the TGCC office at 713.626.1470
for more details.
Please watch your mailboxes for the ASID/Houston Chronicle Design Awards call
to entry, coming soon! Many new categories have been added this year to allow more
of our membership to participate and to shine. I think you will be very pleased with
the additions; including categories for Show house and Model Home projects, Best use
of Sustainable Design, Best use of Green Products, Urban Loft Living, Student projects,
Best Kitchen, Best Children's space and many more. This year's Awards Night should
be very exciting!
I hope you will all join me by signing up for RealWorld DesignWeek. This program
allows a student to shadow a professional designer during their day to give them an
idea of what a 'real world' day is like. Call the TGCC office at 713.626.1470 or go to
www.asid.org for more details.
Please check the calendar of events for all of the exciting events coming up in May
and June, as we have a lot going on. The ASID Historic Show house in Galveston opens
May 2nd and we have several of our chapter participating. Kudos to the three CoChairmen: Tom Schwenk, Sylvia Fullerton & Hallie Radcliffe-Canalli, ASID. The
Industry Partners have a fun event planned at The Grove, located in the beautiful
new Discovery Green park in down town Houston, on June 10th. It is a beautifully
designed restaurant with delicious food, so this should be a hit!
My Best,
Benefits of an
ASID Membership
"As a sole proprietorship and a single person design firm, ASID opened
my world to many opportunities and new friends. Networking with
industry professionals and other designers are the best benefits that
come to mind. Becoming a member of ASID has allowed me to be involved
in more community activities, chair several fundraisers and participate
in two showhouses. As a result of participation in ASID activities, I was
offered an opportunity to become an elected member of my local chapter
board for a two year postion.
This board position has allowed me many learning experiences, while
traveling - first to Chicago last summer for our annual Chapter Leadership
Conference (CLC), then on a cruise to Cozumel for a Board retreat. Next
summer there will be another CLC in Calgary, BC. Finally, I will be joining
my new friends on another educational board retreat cruise (fun
filled!).
These are just some of the many benefits and advantages of membership
in this great organization. And to think this all began with a single phone
call asking me to chair my first fundraiser!"

Making the Most of your Member Benefits
By Kirstin Hellwig and Michelle Robinson, ASID Headquarters Team

Gulf Coast Green Symposium
By Gwen Redman, Green Committee Chairperson
This was a great symposium with an enormous amount of information
to absorb. The theme was energy efficiency. I was very impressed with
our Mayor, Bill White and his knowledge and involvement in the green
movement. Houston has saved on energy cost by using windmills to
generate energy, traffic lights have been changed to LED lighting signals,
the city will using LEED standards for new and historic buildings, and
Metro is purchasing hybrid buses. He also said that Houston’s greenest
program is “Flex in the City “which allows employees to work from home.
There are about 120 firms participating. Here are some of the other highlights:
• Coal and copper sills are not visible so people tend to expect less from
them since oil spills are more visible.
• A study was done by Home Depot that showed that 20% of consumers
were willing to pay up to 6 times more for certified plywood. More
than a third preferred certified plywood even when is priced higher.
• Trends – There is going to be more and more third party certifications
to gain public credibility. Consumers are more sophisticated and will
determine which companies are responsive to consumer pressure.
For example, protestors in front of hardware stores protesting DuPont’s
white paint made in Australia had titanium in it, consumer pressure
forced them to clean up the paint
• Bio fuel may not be as eco friendly as perceived since it takes more
energy to produce a gal of fuel from corn.
• Healthy Building Network: mission to accelerate market demand
for healthier and more just building materials. Unity Homes collaborated with New Orleans Habitat for Humanity to build healthy affordable housing. HBN has developed the Pharos project that is an
evaluation system that compares products across 16 categories that
should be available in a couple months.
• Residents, workers, the local community and the global community
are all affected by materials that release chemicals. And even though
the odor is gone it does not mean the chemical is not still in the air.
• More people want to work for environmentally clean companies.
• Household dust samples were collected from 10 states and Bio-monitoring test were done on breast milk from mothers, blood from babies
umbilical cords, urine etc. and found that toxic chemicals were showing
up in the samples.
• There are three types of chemicals that were covered, PBT’s that
are, Persistent – resist breakdown in the environment and gets into
our water and air. Bio-accumulates –collects in the bodies of humans
or wildlife. And Toxic – linked to cancer, birth defects, reproductive
problems, neurological development and hormonal problems.
• Products to avoid – PVC – dioxin by product and is released when
burned and in landfill fires, Release VOC – affects indoor air quality
for example formaldehyde associated with chronic health problems
such as liver, kidney, nervous system etc. and Semi-VOC/heavy metals.
They are released slower attached to dust and other particles. Chemicals
cover HFR – flame retardants, PFC (prefluorochemicals) i.e. upholstery, Teflon, scotch guard, and phaletes. Heavy metals act as stabilizers in PVC, released through production, use and disposal.
• When building green its teamwork, the builder and designer must
create a checklist. Establish LEED goals, understand the point system,
consider the homeowners wish list and budget. Try to keep the house
small.
• Our legacy to failure – Laws still lag behind the level of concern, most
pollution is still permitted, most environmental laws do not protect
human life. There are some 85k chemicals approved for sale by the
EPA but not tested for human health effects and only twelve have been
tested for neurodevelopment.

ASID Visits The National Design Triennial
Over 100 ASID art enthusiasts joined the Contemporary Arts Museum
Houston (CAMH) Senior Curator Toby Kamps for an artful March program.
This winter the CAMH presented Design Life Now: National Design
Triennial, the latest installment in an ongoing exhibition series from
the Smithsonian’s Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum. Inaugurated
in 2000, the Triennial seeks out and present the most innovative American
designs from the prior three years in a variety of fields including product
design, architecture, furniture, film, graphics, new technologies, animation science, medicine and fashion.
Susan Schotts and Audrey Drought
Art Institute instructor and designer, Diane Alexander discussing the CAM
exhibit with a group of her students
Lynne T Jones and Alton LaDay
The event was generously underwritten by The Houston Design Center,
Barefoot Wine and The LaDay Group. A special thanks goes to Karen
Cornelius and Kelly Hammond in the CAMH Development Office for
making the evening happen! Please visit www.camh.org for more information on this and other exhibitions.
One enthusiastic member was heard exclaiming to ASID President
Lynne Jones, “Lynne, you’re making ASID fun again!” This sentiment was
shared by all the guests on this inspiring evening.
One week after the CAMH visit, an intimate group of ASID members
joined LUXE Magazine for a private viewing of 'Imperative Design' at
Barbara Davis Gallery. Imperative Design was an exhibit curated by
Lauren Rottet and featured works by Zaha Hadid, Ross Lovegrove, Mark
Holmes, Arik Levy, Greg Lynn, David Mocarski and Lauren Rottet.
The works chosen for this show demonstrate “the inevitability and importance of reaching a point today in which everyone has access to modern
furnishings” as art, Rottet explained. Ms. Davis led the group on an informative tour to round out the art filled month of March for the chapter.

Discover your Partners
IP/Designer Social Mixer
June 10th 6:00pm
By Christa Sharpe, Kravet/Lee Jofa Fabrics
Industry Partner Rep to the Board Co-Chair
Ray Levy and I are constantly being asked 'How
can I get involved with ASID?' and we have an event
coming up that is a perfect opportunity to do just
that! June 10th at 6:00pm is our IP/Designer Social
Mixer and there are a number of ways to be involved. For the low price
of $50 you will gain entry to the evening festivities and receive a cool
name tag that will allow you to stand out among the Designers. If you
are or aren't able to attend there are still a couple of items that will
need underwriters. We will have the sponsors names on a poster and
listed in the Angle the following issue. Areas that need underwriters
are valet services, bar, possibly a jazz band, and three prizes that will
be drawn during the event.
In addition, we will be having a matching game during the evening that
I would like everyone to participate in. I'll need a description about yourself. For example, my description might say "I used to run ProSource
Flooring and now I sell fabric and furniture for Kravet and Lee Jofa. I have
two adorable little boys named Wriley and Walker." The Designers would
need to ask around until they found me and then have their card signed.
IP members will stand out with flashing name-tags. Then that card will
be put in the drawing for one of the three prizes. The goal is obviously
to promote interaction between the IP members and the Designers and
it should be a lot of fun!
We are expecting a great turn-out for this event since is the first time
that we can recall in a while that the Programs Committee has been so
gracious to give us our own Program! This will be the June ASID program
and they only have 6 a year. This so a big effort on behalf of our current
board and chapter to encourage support for IP. So please thank Sandy
Sawyer and Syd Farber for allowing us to throw this event. And get
involved if you want to cultivate a relationship with the ASID Designer
that will definitely be mutually fruitful for the both of you.
Please send your descriptions of yourself to participate in the festivities to me at [email protected], this will also serve as your
RSVP and get you your cool name badge when you send your $50 to Linda
Marble. Send any desire to be an underwriter and have your name listed
to [email protected] or contact Linda Marble the director at the
new ASID office 713-626-1470.

“It’s all About Timing”
By Ray Levy, Sunbelt Window Film
Industry partner Rep to the Board Co-Chair
Whether or not you own your own business is
not relative. Sometimes the outcome, regardless
of success or failure can depend on timing. And if
you happen to be an Industry Partner your timing
could not be better.
Since the first of the year we have many new IP members with one
common goal. The most frequent response when asked why Industry
Partners, “To do more business with Interior Designers”. In 2008 you
will have more opportunity than in past years to grow your designer business. Our marketing strategies are more aggressive and will no doubt
get the exposure we are all looking for.
Christa Sharpe with Kravet/Lee Jofa Fabric and her team of volunteer IP members have put together a wonderful Designer/Industry Partner
social evening at the Grove. The Grove is Houston’s hot new open air
restaurant in the park across from George Brown and adjacent to Minute
Maid. Look for Christa’s article in this issue.
We’ll be looking for sponsors and volunteers to help with this terrific
networking opportunity. The probability of you rubbing elbows with your
next customer is very likely and the contacts made will I’m sure prove
to be very valuable for your business.
There are so many ways for you to participate: Food, Entertainment,
Valet parking, Bar-tab, Door prizes, etc. Your involvement will be appreciated and your contribution will get noticed. If you just joined our organization this is your chance to improve your exposure to ASID. Isn’t it the
reason you became an IP member? If you are a well seasoned IP member
thank you again for your past contributions to our great group of people.
If you’re just getting your feet wet,
c’mon jump in the water is fine
We look forward to your assistance, if you would like to be a sponsor
or be part of our Summer Social let us know. We need your help to
make this a tremendous success.

Scottish-born photojournalist Harry Benson arrived in the U.S. with
The Beatles in 1964 – and took the first American photo of the Fab Four.
Architectural Digest is proud to honor Mr. Benson’s illustrative career
by sponsoring the first-ever Houston exhibit of his photography at the
Decorative Center Houston. Benson, a regular contributor to the magazine, has captured most of the highlights – and lowlights of this country’s
watershed events. He was in the Los Angeles hotel ballroom when Robert
F. Kennedy was assassinated. He stood close to Richard Nixon when the
President announced his resignation. He was on the Meredith March with
Martin Luther King. He captured a Madonna-esque portrait of recentlyslain Benazir Bhutto cradling her son in her arms -- and he has photographed
every U.S. President from Eisenhower to George W. Bush. Not many “Bold
Face Named” icons have escaped his lens. Benson has shot portraits of
such diverse luminaries as: Princess Di, James Brown, Al Pacino, Michael
Jackson, Frank Sinatra and then-wife Mia Farrow, Bette Midler, Greta
Garbo, Judy Garland, Mick Jagger, Elizabeth Taylor, Truman Capote, Alfred
Hitchcock, Oprah Winfrey and Steven Spielberg, to name just a few.
