I have two re-designs up for vote for Dwell With Dignity's Ready Aim Re-Design contest!! 

The contest was devised to help raise awareness for the organization and have new members join in support. (PS- It's only $30 to become a member!) 

I have #2 & #4 up for vote, but since you can only vote once per computer... let's just focus on one!

So, pretty please, go to the VOTE page and...

VOTE FOR #4!! 

It's the easiest voting ever... one-click & they don't ask for your info!

Ready Aim Re-Design Contest for Dwell With Dignity!

I am so thrilled to announce the launch of the Ready Aim Redesign Before & After Contest for Dwell With Dignity!! You may know that I recently recently joined the leadership council for this amazing organization that inspires lives with design. Helping the less fortunate & interior design? That's right up my alley! This contest is designed to raise awareness of the organization and to raise funds to continue our good work. And, I'm sure raising awareness will be no issue considering the amazing slew of judges: Jonathan Adler, Grace Bonney, Ronda Carmen, Crystal Gentilello, Samantha Sano, & Rebecca Sherman!! Pretty stellar, right? 

The contest is $25 per entry with no limit to entries. Visit the Ready Aim Redesign site for more info and to ENTER!

You may remember seeing the image above? Yes! That's my before and after sofa that I did for a client! 

If you don't have any before and after's to share, you can still help! Become a member for only $30!! Becoming a member will help us get future grants & your money will go to an amazing cause... I'm proud to be a part and would be honored for you to join me.

This just in from Kendall at Lower Oak Lawn... Celebration of Design 2010 is now open for registration in Dallas!

Stop refreshing your browsers, registration for Celebration of Design 2010 is now open! Of all the year’s events, Celebration of Design is by far one of my favorites. Hundreds of designers, architects and decorators from across the metroplex and the state descend upon Decorative Center Dallas at once, breathing life into the Design District. It’s so fun to meet new people and it’s a great way to get a handle on the current inspirations of the design industry.

This year, Celebration of Design will be hosted October 27 and 28, and will offer all the CEU/CEPH credits you need to keep your license up to date! Here’s a quick run down of the class offerings:

• The 2030 Challenge for Interior Design @ Janus Et Cie

• Detroit, Dallas & Despotism: a 3D view of Sustainability @ Scott+Cooner

• Design for Public Health @ McGannon

• Design without Barriers: Exploring the Principles of Universal Design @Kisabeth

• Using Intuition To Create Well-Being in the Design Process: Adapting skills for architects and designers in transformational times @ Brown Jordan

• Staying “UP” in a Rollercoaster Economy: Steps for Staying Positive and Attracting Clients @ Pettigrew

• The Energy Efficient Kitchen @Miele

• Color Trends: The Catalysts that Create Change @ Artemide

• Social Media: The 21st Century Approach to Marketing Your Business @Pierre Deux

As you can imagine, I’m particularly excited about the Social Media class. I am always interested to see how design businesses are marketing their services online! What class sounds most interesting to you?

In addition to the classes, there are three free ways to mix and mingle with fellowCelebration of Design attendees. Pettigrew and Porcelenosa will host complimentary lunches on Wednesday and Thursday. Additionally, Luxury Living(who carries the Fendi Casa and Kenzo Maison lines) will host their official grand opening party on Thursday, October 28 from 5:30 to 7:30 pm. All of these event are complimentary but a RSVP is required.
