FROM THE PRESIDENT...
 

Welcome to halfway-through-winter-and-six-more-weeks-till-spring!  At least we're fortunate to be here in the northwest and not buried under piles of snow like so much of the country - and the days are getting noticably longer!  (Yay!)  Lately, I've even noticed the tiniest little bits of green foliage poking up through the cold, hard ground. Soon thoughts will turn to spring cleaning and redecorating/remodeling.....  and we can help! 


In January, NWSID staffed a booth at the
Bellevue Homes and Lifestyles Show and used our new kiosk to showcase our members' wonderful work.  Please see some photos from the show, below.   Thank you to all who volunteered their time, energy, and creativity!

The February Chapter meeting at new PRA member, Harold's Lighting, will be a great opportunity to learn about their products and services, network with designers and affiliates, and discover how to utilize the incredible range of Lutron lighting control colors in our projects.  Please join us!

And, as always, if you have news to share, please call or email the office and Darline will see that it's forwarded to the appropriate person:  206-763-8799 or nwsid@nwsid.net

Happy Valentines Day!
Jann Placentia 

NWSID Member Notes: 

Seattle Stair & Design has been featured in the talent section of the latest issue of Seattle Homes and Lifestyles!

Seattle Homes and Lifestyles is a gem of a regional publication and quality is such a integral part of the fabric of who they are.

We are flattered and grateful for such a wonderful telling of our story.

We were also mentioned in the latest issue South Sound Magazine. The online article does not show too much of our extensive work on the property, but the hard copy version shows much of it, and mentions our collaborative efforts in a wonderful way.
See the online version here - http://www.southsoundmag.com/article_read.php?articleid=9057
Not living in the South Sound region I was unaware of this publication until it crossed my desk. I was truly impressed with this magazine and its quality local content.

Best Wishes and Happy New Year,

David Shuler, NWSID PRA member

2011 Focus on Design Conference: Oct. 6-7, 2011 

We will be partnering with the local NKBA Chapter as well as Seattle Design Center.  NKBA will have a co-chair for the conference with NWSID chair Karen Lunn-Fisher, and have as many people on the committee as NWSID. There will be at least ten Sub-Committees, and it's very important to ensure the event's success that every NWSID member volunteer their time, whether it's prior to or during the conference.  Contact Karen today: Karen Lunn-Fisher (lunnfisherdesign@comcast.net) or 425-361-3980 to volunteer.
