By this time in my term as President of ASIDs Texas Chapter, I
have served you all for four years; two as Membership
Director, one as President Elect, and one as President. Each
President before me, has given sacrificially to serve this
chapter, and I am a grateful recipient. Dianne Etheredge, ASID, our Immediate Past President, took me
under her wing and helped me every step of the way. The ASID Texas Chapter will be in good hands
when I’m gone, as Kitty Wasmiller, ASID, our 2011 ASID Texas Chapter Educator Medalist, assumes
the role of leadership. I love the way our state board and design community boards transition,
encourage one another, and coach the incoming board members as to the nuances of leadership positions. We feel like family as there is nothing like working “in the trenches” to solidify long lasting relationships.
Speaking of family, the unsung heroes behind your ASID Texas Chapter leaders are our family
members. My husband David has never complained about all my travels, meetings, conference calls,
lack of income from my own business, or having to take my role in carpool and teenager duty. Our son,
Simon, now 16, helps me with all technical issues and social media. They both know all about ASID,
what it means, and whom it serves. I could not have served you without the support of “my men”!
When you see your ASID Texas Chapter board members, and design community leaders, please honor
their service by thanking them for their time and talent given on your behalf and for the longevity of
our chapter. If you haven’t visited our website lately, check it out. http:www.asidtx.org, Here you will
see all the programs, events, and publications our ASID Texas Chapter produces for the direct benefit
of YOU, our members.

ASID Texas Chapter President 2011/2012
Kelley Barnett and
family on vacation
in San Francisco
with her family!
I started the year with two new goals in mind based on my survey and
personal conversations with many of you. Your top concerns were: 1) make
ASID recognizable to the public, and 2) help us run our small businesses
more efficiently. While keeping all other beneficial programs up and
running, we took on the challenge of two more. The first goal was in
keeping with ASID National’s new branding campaign. The ASID Texas
Chapter invested in beautiful brand compliant full-page ads in Design
Guide Magazine. Our ad is simple, straightforward and informative.
Design Guide also provided premium online profiles on their website.
Names were drawn at your design community meetings for practitioner
and industry partner online features. Additionally, we changed the ASID
logos/designs on all printed and electronic correspondence/certificates/awards/Facebook pages/website/event brochures, etc.
This is one tangible way to get the ASID logo in the public domain AND
ensure that the branding is consistent across the whole country.
To address concern #2, many design communities have offered CEUs on
social media, business start up, photography, and website design advice.
Additionally, the ASID Texas Chapter, along with our chapter attorney,
Stephen Polozola, of Decker, Jones, McMackin, McClane, Hall & Bates, P.C.
in Ft. Worth, gathered our focus group information and designed Texas
specific contracts for our members to purchase. Mr. Polozola’s expertise in
construction law is well represented in these contracts that he provided.
As individual members, this contract would have been very expensive to
obtain, but because of his relationship with ASID Texas Chapter, you all are
able to purchase contracts at a nominal rate. These contracts represent
another tangible way your ASID Texas Chapter board is helping you
operate your business.
I’ve bragged on our past leaders, my family, fellow board members, and
design community leaders. And now it’s your turn. It has been my honor to
represent you at many national ASID conferences, symposiums, and
training sessions. The incredible interior designs produced by our ASID
Texas Chapter members are known throughout the country. Our Industry
Partners keep us informed and generously support ASID. We love and

Focus on the Face of the Texas Chapter
Focus on the Face of the Chapter” is the seventh in a new series of articles with the objective of showcasing valued members of our Texas Chapter who are
working within our communities to fulfill our Strategic Plan’s goals through their humanitarian and community service. This article features our professional
and student members in Abilene, a part of the Ft. Worth Design Community. Several individuals and businesses came together to help the Abilene Christian
University ASID Student Chapter create an environment that will benefit everyone in the home.

Abilene Christian University Interior Design
majors and professors completed a home renovation for a needy family in the last few weeks
of the semester. A number of other students
caught the vision and helped, too. They did all
the fund raising, organization, and hands-on
work. You really would be proud of them.
Haley Buffington (multi-winner of ASID Texas
Chapter Design Competitions in 2010 and
2011), Melanie Bartholomew (Texas Chapter
ASID Scholarship Winner 2011 and ACU
Student Chapter President '11-'12), Kirsten
Haugaard and Lisha Cottrill (both ASID
Student Chapter members and officers) lead
the student effort to renovate the home of a
multi-generational family who had a huge
need. Wow! Aren't they just amazing? I am
proud of them and proud that ASID provided
them with an opportunity to serve, grow, and
be rewarded along the way with scholarships

Texas Chapter’s Incoming President
Who is Kitty Wasemiller, the Texas Chapter’s
incoming President?
Kitty is a life-long resident of Texas, having been
born in El Paso while her father helped a young
business emerge making building products and
mouldings. Her family relocated to Jasper, Texas
where the business became a national leader in the
design, fabrication and distribution of mouldings,
stair parts, grills, and decorative leaded glass front
doors. This environment fostered an interest in
design for this artistic young lady. While attending Abilene Christian
University (ACU), Kitty completed a BFA in Studio Art. She worked as a
graphic designer following graduation, but was interested in pursuing interior design. She earned a Master of Fine Arts (MFA) degree in Interior
Design from Texas Tech University. Kitty returned to her alma mater in
1984, where she piloted courses for a new interior design major.
Kitty Wasemiller, ASID has served Abilene Christian University as
Professor for almost 29 years and Interior Design Program Director. The
INTD Program achieved national accreditation from CIDA under her leadership. She performs interior design consulting as the principal designer
and owner of Kitty Wasemiller Designs. She has completed residential,
retail, corporate, senior living, and institutional projects. She formerly
served as Interior Designer with Hollon’s Design Studio in Lubbock and
the Tittle Luther Partnership architecture firm in Abilene.
Kitty became a member of ASID in 1982, and has served as Chapter Board
Member and Financial Officer of the Texas Chapter of ASID. She will serve
as President of the Texas Chapter of ASID beginning in October 2012.
Wasemiller was honored by the Texas Chapter of ASID as its first Medalist
Educator in 2011. She holds a NCIDQ certificate and is a registered interior
designer in Texas.
Kitty serves on the Board of Trustees for Abilene Christian Schools. Kitty
and her husband of 30 years, Gene, have three grown children and one
grandchild.
A message from Texas Chapter Communications Director
It's beginning to be THAT
time of year again...
By Robin C. Burrill, ASID, CAPS
ASID Texas Communications Director 2011-13
"The" holidays...and of course budgeting for many companies...oh! Did I
just put both of those into a sentence together?! Well, my message here
has to do with how you choose to "communicate"! For designers...we
want your news! Whether it is on Facebook or in our magazine, please
send it in! If you post it to FB, it automatically posts to Twitter...so share
your promotions, your awards, your successes...your new "big" job you
just landed! We want to hear from you. For our industry partners,
please do the same...share with us your awards, new locations, new staff
members...let us get to know you as well.
Please remember when using Facebook though, it isn't to be used to
"self-promote"...meaning I wouldn't go out and tell everyone that they
needed to use my services because I'm the best at what I do...you need to
share information that is newsworthy and would benefit most of the
membership. For instance...XYZ Appliances just won the international
award for best performing dishwasher, it was the most ecological dishwasher in its category and competed against 6 other companies to win
this award. Or...XYZ is pleased to announce the addition of John Smith
to our staff. John will be covering the Texas, Oklahoma and NM areas.
Don't forget as well...once you've had it published in the Texas Chapter
magazine, you can link it back to your website, or post it on your FB
page.
Also...many of the design communities will be having events during THE
holidays...this is a great time to promote your company and designers,
don't forget, there is nothing holding you back from sponsoring and
promoting your services as well. Some design communities may also
solicit for sponsorships so you can communicate your offerings
throughout the year through various events. There is also our quarterly
magazine to advertise in, as well as our website and national ASID also
has other opportunities as well.
If I can ever help you with all that is available, please don't hesitate to
contact me.

Lawrence Adams Appointed Vice President
of ForrestPerkins
Lawrence Adams, AIA, who recently joined ForrestPerkins as
Vice President, is a global authority on hotel and resort design.
Mr. Adams co-authored Hotel Design, Planning and Development
with Richard Penner and Stephani Robson. This highly-anticipated book is due to be published this fall by Routledge in the
United Kingdom and W.W. Norton in the United States. It follows
the original 422-page edition of Hotel Design, Planning and
Development that Mr. Adams co-authored with Walter Rutes and
Richard Penner and which was published in 2001 by
Architectural Press. Both tomes were written for architects,
designers, developers and hotel executives as comprehensive and
professional guides for hotel and resort design and development.
"Lawrence Adams has managed and directed the design of large-scale development projects at major architectural and planning firms over the last 35 years,"
says Stephen Perkins, AIA, ISHC, principal and co-founder of ForrestPerkins.
"He also served as adjunct faculty at New York University for nine years
teaching graduate level courses on Hotel Design and Development."
Deborah Forrest, FASID, principal and co-founder of ForrestPerkins, adds,
"The New York Four Seasons Hotel, on which Lawrence collaborated with I.M.
Pei; the Chambers Hotel, which he partnered with the Rockwell Group to
design; and the RIGHA Royal Hotel, which is now called The London, are
among Lawrence's significant projects." Mr. Adams lived in New York City for
23 years, where he worked at his own eponymous firm as well as others, before
being recruited to be Vice President and Director of Design at Perez, APC in
New Orleans, Louisiana. He most recently worked at Mathes Brierre
Architects, one of the oldest architectural firms in the US, where he was Senior
Vice President for eight years.
"I have known Stephen Perkins and Deborah Forrest for years.
I've watched with great admiration as they have grown
ForrestPerkins into a classic, wonderful, luxury hospitality design
firm. When the opportunity came for me to join them, I jumped at
the chance," says Mr. Adams, who is based in ForrestPerkins'
Dallas office.
Over the last several years, Mr. Adams became interested in the
intersection of luxury hospitality and luxury senior living. He has
been involved in the design of a number of senior living properties and sees the two specialties as interrelated, given the affluent
and large population of baby boomers. So, in addition to Mr. Adam's direction
of some of the firm's important hotel and resort projects, he will lead the firm's
new focus on this growing segment. "Luxury senior living as a practice area
dovetails naturally with our luxury hotel and luxury multi-residential practice," Forrest says. "We are excited about the potential for significant growth in
all three segments, both here in the US and abroad."
One of Mr. Adams' greatest strengths is in designing luxury hotels. "I particularly
love the early stages of design, when we pull together all the different influences
and establish a great direction for a project." Of course, the architect also delights
in seeing a project built and completed. "It's rewarding to stay in a hotel you've
designed and to see other people enjoying the hotel or resort, too," says Mr.
Adams, who is certified by NCARB. He is also a registered architect in New York,
Massachusetts, Kansas, Mississippi and Louisiana. Among the many highlights in
his long career, in 2001, Hospitality Design magazine honored Mr. Adams with its
Gold Key Award for his work on the Chambers Hotel. In 1993, the New York
State AIA recognized him in its Solar Energy Competition for his work on the
SUNY Solar Parking Lot, establishing that Mr. Adams was ahead of his time.

Transition Period to Pass Written Multiple-Choice
Exams Ends in 2013;
Scores Will be Voided for Those Who Have Not Passed Both
As previously announced, NCIDQ is phasing out the paper-and-pencil
multiple-choice exams as the organization launches computer-based
testing for two new multiple-choice sections of the NCIDQ Examination.
The Section 3 Practicum exam is not changing and will continue to be
administered in a paper-and-pencil format.
The multiple-choice exams will be given only three more times in a paperand-pencil format. After the fall 2013 administration, the multiple-choice
sections will be delivered exclusively via computer at a network of testing
centers across North America. Those who have not passed both of the
current paper-and-pencil multiple-choice sections by the end of 2013 must
retake both of the new sections since the content will have shifted between
the new sections of the exams.
Designer Fooled by
NCIDQ Data Error
Relieved as failing score corrected
Kristina Sleyster principal at Sleyster LLC completed
and passed all three section of the Spring 2012 National
Council for Interior Design Qualification exams.
In December of 2006 while the market was still
healthy, Kristina left her job, picked up her life and
moved to Tucson, Arizona to begin the Bachelors
of Art in Interior Design program at the
Southwest University of Visual Arts. After graduating in December of 2009 Kristina and her
husband once again up rooted their home, this time bound for Austin,
Texas. Once in Austin the reality set in, the bleak job market spread
throughout country. After 11 months of searching Kristina finally landed an
entry contract position at Belterra Design & Hospitality, Inc. where she
earned the necessary experience required to take the NCIDQ exams.
Kristina set aside 2 to 4 hours each day for three months for studying. After
filling four boxes worth of note cards, Kristina's exam day arrived. "After
the first day I was exhausting and the thought of another day was really
overwhelming." Kristina said. Kristina like many others received a false
failing result due to a data error at NCIDQ. "When the results arrived I was
so nervous I was shaking as I opened the envelope. As read through the
results a little part of me just died as I saw Fail on section three." Kristina
said. Two days later Kristina received a letter from the NCIDQ explaining
the data error along with a corrected letter which contained passing results
for all three sections.
Whether you are retaking a multiple-choice section you did not pass previously, or whether you are taking the multiple-choice exam(s) for the first
time, you must pass both Section 1 (Codes, Building Systems, Construction
Standards and Contract Administration) and Section 2 (Design
Application, Project Coordination and Professional Practice) before the
end of 2013. For those individuals who have not, their passing multiplechoice score will be voided and they will have to take both of the new
sections on computer.
The next administration of the multiple-choice exams will be Friday,
September 28. The deadline to register is August 7, although you can save
$150 if you register by July 24. Click here to access your account to register
for the fall 2012 administration.

Patina Green Home and Market is Honored for
Excellence by Home Accents Today Magazine
Patina Green Home and Market in McKinney, Texas has been
named one of Home Accents Today’s 50 Retail Stars for 2012 by
the editors of the premier trade magazine for the home
accents industry.
Patina Green Home and Market in McKinney,
Texas, has been named one of Home
Accents Today’s 50 Retail Stars for 2012
by editors of the premier trade magazine for the home accents industry.
Founded in 2010, the store is located at
116 North Tennessee, Suite 102 and is
owned by Kaci Lyford.
The businesses selected for the magazine’s Retail Stars list have demonstrated that
they operate successfully in their marketing areas, exhibit strength in merchandising, display and/or advertising, and have a positive presence in their local
communities.
“There has never been a tougher time to be an independent retailer, with ongoing
competition from chain stores, the increasingly significant role of online retail and
the difficult economic climate,” said Jenny Heinzen York, editor in chief, Home
Accents Today. “The 2012 Retail Stars have taken on these challenges with a combination of clever entrepreneurship, innovation, merchandising, customer service
and marketing. We are delighted to recognize these talented merchants, and, as
always, encourage everyone to support their own local businesses.”
Home Accents Today editors focused on independent and family-run retailers,
specifically those considered specialty, home accent or home furnishings stores.
Members of the industry were invited to suggest stores and retailers were encouraged to submit information describing their businesses. The list, now in its eighth
year, was compiled and narrowed down by research analysts and editors of the
publication. A business may be named to the list only one time, resulting in 50 firsttime honorees each year.
“I’ve been a fan of this elegant little part home furnishings/part food market gem
ever since I wrote about its grand opening, where customers lined up outside
waiting for the door to open,” said Retail Editor Susan Dickenson. “Patina Green’s
blog has to be one of my favorites, and it also serves as the store’s website.”
The 50 Retail Stars list, sponsored by AmericasMart Atlanta, is published in the
May 2012 issue of Home Accents Today. The 25-year-old publication, based in
Greensboro, N.C., is owned by Sandow Media.
Home Accents Today’s 2012 Retail Stars in Texas are:

Woodwright Hardwood Floor Company Unveils New Website
Social media strategy as part of rebranding initiative
New Website Features Pinboard and Sample Order Tool
Woodwright Hardwood Floor Company, a Dallas-based luxury wood
flooring contractor, has launched a new website as well as a social media
strategy. The launch is part of a rebranding initiative allowing Woodwright
to effectively communicate its unique, creative strengths to the architectural and design communities.
“Our decision to give the brand a fresh look is reflects the types of projects
we have the honor to be involved in every day,” said Steve Welch, CEO of
Woodwright. “The architectural and interior design communities have
evolved over the 27 years we have been in business. We wanted a brand,
website that engages the social savvy client and represents the quality,
creativity that we offer our clients.”
The most recognizable difference will be what clients discover within the
website. It allows users to search wood flooring by specie, color and
texture. Visitors to the website have the ability to “pin” samples to their
personalized pinboards and order samples directly from the website.
In addition to the new website and logo, all materials will communicate to
customers the creativity and quality of Woodwright Hardwood Floor
Company. Woodwright’s continued goal is to inform and educate their
clients about the process of designing and installing these unique handcrafted floors.
Collaboration between Armstrong
and Waste Management
Significantly Expands Opportunity
to Recycle Old Ceiling Tiles
Waste Management will collect ceiling tiles from renovation and demolition projects for re-use in the manufacture of new tiles
Thousands of tons of old ceiling tiles will soon be diverted from local landfills
thanks to a new agreement between Armstrong World Industries, the nation’s
largest manufacturer of acoustical ceiling systems, and Waste Management,
the nation’s leading provider of environmental services.
With the addition of more than 50 Waste Management material recovery facilities, and collection contracts with many of the nation’s top construction
companies, the new initiative is expected to significantly expand Armstrong’s
existing Ceiling Recycling Program.
The Armstrong Ceiling Recycling Program is the longest running program of
its kind and enables commercial building owners to send ceilings from
construction sites to an Armstrong ceiling plant as an alternative to landfill
disposal.

I Summer has started off with lots of exciting events in the Dallas Design
Community. Design Ovation which was held in May, turned out to be another
great success for the Dallas DC. Samuel Lynne Galleries provided a stunning
backdrop for the awards reception and literally rolled out the “red carpet”
making the event truly elegant. Signature cocktails and decadent hors d’oeuvres started off the evening followed by a wonderful dinner buffet from Jim
Lee Catering. The event was organized by the hard work of our volunteer
DO Committee: Emily Gibson, Carolyn Bradley, Kimberly Barrow, Cheryl
Petter, Terri Morgan, & Lisa Pope with florals by Hugh Scarbrough and Lisa
Barron.
Please be sure to thank our generous group of Industry Partners who also
made the event possible!

A special thank you goes to the ASID Indiana Chapter for judging the competition!
I The June meeting provided lots of great tips on owning and operating a
small business, by business and executive coach Brian Rinke. Members learned
“strategies and methods used to take your business above the competition
and THRIVE in a time when others are just trying to survive.” Daltile’s newly
remodeled showroom along with a wonderful luncheon gave way for a fun
and informative meeting. Designers highly anticipate the opening of their
new location in the design district later this summer.
I “Good Design is Good Business” was Knoll’s theme for the July meeting
where they gave an educational tour of the showroom and Knoll history
and then attendees were able to get an inside glance into urban living with a
One Arts Plaza residence tour. What a treat!
I Our quarterly afterhours also in July, was hosted by Modern Luxury and
held at Dallas Rugs. It was a wonderful turnout with great food, drinks, and
socializing. It was the perfect place to catch up with old friends and meet a
few new ones. Modern Luxury launched their second issue of the new Texas
Interiors publication which is a great new addition to the industry!
As always, we thank all of our members for their continued support of ASID,
what a great family to be a part of!
El Paso Design Community
By Fran Timbrook, ASID, Chair
I Since our design community is so small the schedule of a few members
can greatly affect our meeting schedule. Such was the case this spring. Our
April meeting was moved due to a conflict with another organization to April
17 where Brown Interior Solutions hosted a CEU presentation by J & J/
Invision on “Carpet Recycling Initiatives”. The one hour course gave an overall
presentation on carpet in regards to sustainability and the key drivers of carpet
recycling. It focused on ways to reuse and recycle carpet and the workings
of the CARE reclamation network. Lunch was provided and we were hosted
at the new El Paso Community Foundation Room.
I Our May meeting was moved to June to accommodate designer schedules
and then we had to cancel due to an illness by the presenter. We will not hold
meetings over the summer but we are encouraging the design community to
attend Metrocon instead.
