President’s Message
Aloha,
Hard to believe it's already August, time has flown by. We just finished representing ASID at the BIA Summer Home Show. BIA gives us a booth every year which is a great value to or membership. We did a panel discussion on Design Trends which was well attended, and we got lots of interest at our ASID booth. This is a great way for our members to be in front of people who are doing home renovation projects and educate them on the value of working with a professional designer. Thank you to everyone who participated and made this a successful event.
We are gearing up for our big event Design Impacts Lives on September 7, and still need your participation. Please consider being one of our ASID “speed date a designer” participants. It’s a 3-hour commitment,12:00pm-3:00pm. The public will be paying $20 for a 20-minute consult with a designer. This is a great way to get new clients who are interested in working with a designer.
We also need help setting up the event from 7:00am-9:00am and working at the event (various shifts available) and breaking down the event from 4:00pm-6:00pm. I hope you will consider helping us out.
Lastly, we need donations for the sample sale portion of our the event. Anything home related will work. Do you have something hanging around that you ordered wrong, extra tile, random plumbing fixtures, etc? Do you have clients who are getting rid of things to be replaced by the amazing new things you have selected? I had a client give me an Indich rug and several accessories to sell at the event. Anything in saleable condition will be greatly appreciated and, remember, proceeds will help Habitat for Humanity.
We can’t pull this off without the help of our association members. Please consider volunteering some time to make this event a success. You may even get some new clients along the way. I look forward to seeing many of you on September 7.
With gratitude & aloha,
Tiare Noelani Pinto, Allied ASID, CKD

One Voice
Each day interior designers use their voices and visions to reshape spaces--and therefore the lives of those occupying them--for the better. With those same voices working in unison, they have the power to design a better future for themselves and the entire profession. That is why ASID began One Voice; to empower interior designers to get involved and advocate for or against the public policy that will ultimately influence their careers and lives. For more info:

Navy Is The New Black In Kitchens And Bathrooms, Design Pros Say
Forbes
When a kitchen costs $63,829 to $125,721 for a major midrange to upscale remodel and a full bathroom redo spans $19,134 to $51,662, according to Remodeling’s Cost vs Value Report, you’re not factoring color trends for a single year into your calculation; you’re designing for 10 to 20 years. Paint is easy and relatively affordable to change. Cabinets, countertops, fixtures and appliances are larger, more permanent investment choices, and they need to stand the test of time. So why is one particular color proving to be a popular and enduring choice?

Multibriefs
The decline of America’s downtown "Main Streets" is nothing new. First, the rise of the automobile meant they were displaced as the nexus of community and commercial life by out-of-town malls.

Next-Generation Designers Offer Insight into Future of Design
Interiors and Sources
If you’ve been a reader of interiors+sources for more than a decade, you may recall a special cover story we published in 2006 based on a roundtable we held with 10 young professionals who shared their insights about the design industry and where it was headed.
At the time, sustainability, licensing and certification, and educating clients on the value of design services were among the biggest concerns of these emerging designers. A lot has changed since then, and yet, some things remain the same.
