2010/02: A Day In The Life Of An Interior Designer – Part 3 (The Finale)

real_world.jpg

contributed by Alana Villanueva [interior designer / dallasDECORUM blogger / design junkie]

EDITOR’S NOTE: After an early morning presentation and a subsequent five hours inspecting, placing, collaborating, sourcing and starving, Alana believes she’s on the home stretch until a broken Murano glass chandelier and a roll of damaged $300 per yard fabric threaten to derail her day. Follow her as she gets her afternoon back on track with fortitude, keen organizational skills and, of course, chocolate covered almonds.

There are 46 emails in my in box, and to my dismay, none of it is spam. Plus, my voicemail indicator light is blinking. The stone department purchaser needs to see me. The furniture purchaser needs to see me. The business manager needs to see me. The warehouse manager needs to see me. SD needs to leave in 15 minutes for her presentation tomorrow, and we need to load her car with 500 pieces of tile and slab chunks (okay I am exaggerating now – there are only 300), along with everything else that is needed.

2010/02: 10 For 10 | Top Meeting Mistakes - Body Language

embarras.jpg


10410-bl-title.gifThe planet is just over a month old in this new year, and we’re still in the grips of decaphilia, so we’re celebrating by bringing you another list of 10 for 2010. The topic at hand is what NOT to do in a meeting, whether it’s with a client, prospective client, project team, or future employer. Specifically, we’re touching on body language: those subtle – or, often, not-so-subtle – non-verbal cues that contribute to people’s impression of your intelligence, character and, yes, personal hygiene. Whether you want to land or hold on to that job or client, be professional and garner respect by avoiding these 10 annoying behaviors.

2010/02: Keri’s Circle of Kourage
kerihall.jpgFor those of us in the Dallas-Fort Worth area who knew and loved Keri Scholtz Hall, it was devastating when we lost her to cancer on August 2, 2008, just six weeks short of her 40th birthday. She not only contributed a great deal to the interior design industry, but she positively influenced thousands of members of it with her beautiful smile and infectious enthusiasm. Her family has commissioned acclaimed national artist Sandi Clark to create a life-sized sculpture of Keri portraying her passion, determination and joy. The sculpture will be placed at the Episcopal School of Dallas and will serve as a permanent reminder of Keri’s “Kourage.” If you would like to contribute to Keri’s Circle of Kourage, go here to be taken to an online donation page via Communities Foundation of Texas.

    Some News

    For the past twenty years furniture importer and distributor M2L has been dedicated to finding and sourcing truly iconic pieces that define the classic modern aesthetic. In addition to promoting and protecting design authenticity through its sister site, GenuineDesign.com, M2L will also give away $8,500 in scholarships through the second annual Genuine Design Competition, which is based around the concept of a Public Service Announcement. Students are asked to create a video, up to four minutes long, on the topic of genuine design and why furniture designers deserve the right to protect their work against knockoffs. Entrants must currently be enrolled as an undergraduate or graduate student at an accredited university in the U.S. and pursuing a degree in a design-related field. The deadline for submission is March 15, 2010. Go here to find additional background information and the digital entry form.
