Wednesday This and That


A big thank you to Gwen Driscoll of Ragland Hill Social for featuring me in her ongoing series It's A Small Blogworld today.  I am so flattered to be included with other bloggers such as Brooke Gianetti of Velvet & Linen and Laurie Schroeder of My Domicile Style, two of her past features. Gwen is relatively new to blogging, but has taken to it like a duck to water, so to speak, and is coming up with new and unique features all the time - something not easy with all the design blogs out there! Her latest projects FDO (Friends of Design Obsession) and Week in White are just two examples of Gwen's creativity. So, if you haven't visited her blog yet, go take a look!

                                                         

New England Home magazine is sponsoring a new initiative called 5 Under 40. Nominations are currently being taken for the best New England designers and architects under the age of forty. (Sadly, I'm no longer qualified!!)  The 5 Under 40 awards spotlight the hottest emerging talent in residential design in New England, including architecture, interiors, furniture, and home-design products and accessories. Selected by an all-star committee of regional design leaders, 5 Under 40 winners are the people to watch, producing some of the most beautiful and innovative work available today.

Nominations for 2010 are due by 5:00 p.m. EST on January 31, 2010. Winners will be honored at a festive celebration on June 10, 2010.  Each winner will have the opportunity to design a custom rug that will be produced by presenting sponsor Landry & Arcari. Rugs will be auctioned off at the June 10 event.



My friends at New England Home have been hard at work on the launch of their new magazine Connecticut. The state of Connecticut is part metro New York and part New England has it's own unique style. This new glossy magazine is sure to highlight some of the best design and architecture of the area.


I'd also like to thank Laura Newman of Laura Newman PR & Marketing for including me in her post What Thriving Design Business Will Look Like and How To Get There on her blog Publicity Wit. I was flattered that my views on the design industry were included with others such as designer Irwin Feld, Alexandra Gibson of Gibson Design Management and fellow blogger Jamie Derringer of Design Milk.
