Chapter News

Dear ASID Community,

I am excited, honored, and a bit nervous to begin this journey as your new chapter president-elect.

Following in the footsteps of Jamie Stringham will be a true challenge, as she has been an incredible president. However, I am very much honored to serve in this capacity. As a proud American Society of Interior Designers member, I have a passion for transforming spaces and a dedication to enhancing the quality of life through design. As we begin our year together, I look forward to collaborating with all of you, learning from industry leaders, and contributing to our community of design enthusiasts. Together, we can elevate our profession and continue to make a positive impact through the art of interior design. Thank you for welcoming me into this vibrant community!

Thank you,

Alison Miller

What Do Kids Know About Home Design? Goop Chairs, Gucci Wallpaper, and Taylor Swift

Wall Street Journal Article featuring ASID CEO Khoi Vo and Board Chair, David Euscher

Children, tweens, and teens are giving their parents’ interior designers ideas for projects around the house.

When Abby Tennenbaum, 44, and her husband, Ross Tennenbaum, 46, purchased a $2.1 million vacation property in 2021 about 80 miles southeast of Seattle in the mountain resort community of Suncadia, Washington, they encouraged their two young daughters to collaborate with the family’s interior designer, Emily LaMarque, on decorating the house. The 3,143-square-foot, five-bedroom home had a budget of $500,000 for furnishings and decorating.   

The Tennenbaum sisters—Ella, 12, and Edie, 8—gave LaMarque feedback on paint colors and wallpaper patterns, but they also expressed other specific preferences. They weren’t into insect art (though butterflies were okay).......

ASID's 50th Anniversary

ASID is beginning preparations for a "yearbook" commemorating ASID's 50th Anniversary that will coincide with our programming and events in 2025. All members will be receiving a postcard (and an email too!) from Gary Wheeler and John Cialone asking for information from you about updating your contact information with ASID and to call the "800" number to do so. The company handling this for ASID (at no cost to ASID) has done this successfully for many other organizations and we are very pleased to be working with them.

This is a legitimate request and not spam!⁠
