On behalf of the National IDS office and board of directors, it is with great sadness to let you know the passing of Dot Greenlee. Dot was the past President of the Dallas/Fort Worth Chapter and worked tirelessly with Dwell with Dignity and Jonathan's place, part of their chapter charity projects. Under her leadership, the Dallas chapter won their first chapter of the year award. Dot had her own business, Dorothy Greenlee Designs, in Dallas, Texas, and was recently named IDS National Designer of the Year in the Dining Room category in April. Our sincere condolences to her family, friends, clients and fellow IDS members. Besides Dot's work ethic, she will be missed for her genuine personality and friendly smile. Dot, you will be greatly missed.
Jan Cregier
IDS National Board of Directors, President

When it comes to home decorating, preparing for the arrival of a baby is one of the most exciting times to create a dream house for you and your growing family. The truth is, outfitting your home with the safety of your child in mind should be top priority, which often means choosing hardier elements built to withstand the handiwork of tumultuous toddlers. "Once you start thinking about decorating, you begin to realize that there are a lot of limitations and restrictions that, as a responsible parent, you should follow for the safety of your child," says author and design blogger Emily Henderson, who has maintained top-level interiors in her own home with two children under the age of three. Sturdy furniture, resilient fabrics, and smart storage solutions are the key to creating a safe space without compromising your design integrity. Read her tips and be on your way to a kid-friendly home that will last far beyond the toddler years.

 Have you ever gone somewhere with your extended family and noticed how everyone deals with the space? We have a variety of age groups using the same space at the same time. The idea that our built environments have unseen obstacles is why many who study human behavior and ergonomics believe that, as our population continues to grow and ultimately age, we need to view every space people use as a place where easy accessibility is necessary. This will become more evident in the next few decades, when we will see a noticeable increase in people who are over the age of 50.
