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

It's no secret that certain colors make a tried-and-true design statement: Black-and-white rooms never go out of style, red rooms command attention, and green spaces are practically guaranteed to help you put your feet up and relax. But according to a report from Zillow Digs, there are four paint colors that make real estate pros nervous – and for good reason. When the real estate site evaluated more than 50,000 photos of recently sold homes, it found that houses with rooms painted certain colors fetched less than their estimated prices.

Design trends come and go, but is midcentury modern forever? The minimalist movement that first swept through U.S. suburbs in the 1940s and '50s has gone through so many streaks of popularity over the years that it’s beginning to feel like a design staple. The current craze, which has lasted nearly two decades, is so overwhelming that midcentury modern dominates nearly every corner of the retail market, from Craigslist to West Elm to Sotheby’s.

 Show your best before you discuss the rest. That's the selling strategy of some of the most financially successful interior design professionals. They talk about and showcase their highest end products and services at the outset, before rolling out lower-priced alternatives. Theirs is a "save the best for first" sales philosophy. It's a contrarian sales approach, a stark contrast to the far more common practice in the design industry of catering first and foremost to a client's budget.

Sherwin-Williams has selected Poised Taupe (SW 6039) as the 2017 Color of the Year. The color indicates an overall desire for neutrals that bring warm and cool tones together, creating versatility. “Poised Taupe celebrates everything people love about cool gray as a neutral, and also brings in the warmth of brown, taking a color to an entirely new level. Not cool or warm, nor gray or brown, Poised Taupe is a weathered, woodsy neutral bringing a sense of coziness and harmony that people are seeking,” said Sue Wadden, director of color marketing for Sherwin-Williams.

You already know what it's like for a celebrity to buy a home. But what about the good stuff that comes after — the decorating, designing, painting, and primping? Cosmopolitan.com recently spoke with four interior designers whose clients range from musicians to movie producers.
