President’s Message
Happy Holidays,
I hope this message finds everyone enjoying the holiday season with family and friends.
It’s hard to believe another year has gone by. I am excited about the coming new year and all we have planned for our Hawaii chapter. We now have a full board and we are in search of the 2019/2020 board slate. Please consider serving your chapter and getting involved. My involvement in the ASID Hawaii Chapter began when I was a student at Chaminade University 29 years ago… wow it’s scary to say that! I have served many positions on the board over the years and it has always been a fulfilling experience. I encourage each member to step up and serve our chapter as part of your professional interior design legacy. For more information regarding the upcoming board vacancies, please click here.
Times have changed and we are trying to change with the times. We will be creating a social media committee so that we can educate the public on the importance of hiring a “professional” designer through our social media platforms. The idea is to have ASID members be guest posters to our web site and social media platforms: Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest, etc. This is an opportunity for you to showcase your work or items of interest in the interior design world. I hope that you will take advantage of this great opportunity. Please be on the lookout for these requests. We hope that all our members will then share the ASID posts to their followers so we can get the message out virally, because as we know, that’s how things get done today.
We are working on the details for this year’s design awards and will keep you posted once everything is finalized. We are looking at a late September design awards gala. This gives you plenty of time to get your entries ready. Keep an eye out for the Call for Entries email.
Best Wishes for a Happy Healthy Holiday Season and a prosperous New Year!
With gratitude & aloha,
Tiare Noelani Pinto

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:

Pantone's Color of Year Is Living Coral
Fast Company
The reign of Millennial Pink–that literally and figuratively cool hue whose blue undertones flattered no one–seems to be coming to an end at last. In its place? We have Living Coral. It’s Pantone’s Color of the Year for 2019, following the company’s annual, wide-ranging analysis of color trends across culture. Living Coral is comforting and energizing at the same time, a color meant to serve as a salve in a time of global uncertainty.
Americans Need Home Design That Welcomes Everyone
Architectural Digest
Twenty years ago, Rosemarie Rossetti ran a small publishing business with her husband, Mark Leder, in the basement of their two-story home in Columbus, Ohio, and spent weekends hiking and playing sports. But her life changed on an afternoon bicycle ride in 1998, when a three-and-a-half-ton tree collapsed and crashed down on her, a devastating accident that injured her spinal cord and left her paralyzed from the waist down.

Christmas Tree Ornaments So Fabulous You’ll Want to Admire Them All Year Long
Vogue
Nothing says holiday season like the smell of fresh fir trees. But while everyone can pick up a tree from a farm, forest (with a permit!), or sidewalk vendor, it’s how you trim it that will really sets the tone this December. Some might like the simplicity of gold bulbs and a star on top, but why not give your tree a makeover with some designer ornaments?
