Legacy of Design Award

Yes, you still have a chance to own a design award winning kitchen - mine, you can check it out on the Briggs-Freeman website. Kathy Adcock-Smith won an award of merit for my kitchen at the Legacy of Design Awards Friday night, find out below the jump what she had to say about Metrocon. Linda Fritschy, Sherry Hayslip, Mary Ann Smiley, and Laura Lee Clark were also there. The party was at a cool house on Northhaven also listed by Briggs-Freeman, very spare and modern, I’m trying to find out who did the landscape design.

At Metrocon, I was in the CEPH classes most of the time - two mind numbing ones were the one about changes in the federal/state laws and standards on accessibility (ADA, etc.) and the other was an overview of all the various agencies who certify products for sustainability/green standards. You might recall that to maintain our state registration as a registered interior designer, we are obligated to keep up with this stuff - we must have 8 credits per year that have to do with Health, Safety and Wellfare with at least one credit on barrier free design and we now must have one on sustainability. Designers will utilize that knowledge in the projects we do for our clients. All the more reason to be sure to work with a registered interior designer.
