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

Incorporating rugged stone, warm woods and other organic materials, rustic bedrooms combine comfort and natural beauty. These spaces take advantage of their stunning surroundings with interiors that complement the views and accents that speak to their location, whether it’s beside a lake or on top of a mountain. From a simple bedroom in the Italian countryside to a log cabin at Ralph Lauren’s Colorado ranch, we’ve gathered rustic sleeping quarters from the pages of AD that prove natural elements can bring tranquillity to any setting.

When summer days begin to wane and the leaves start to change, many designers and interior decor enthusiasts ditch the pastels for moody hues. It’s no wonder. Rich fall colors impart warmth as days grow crisp, and deep shades lend a sense of mystery as nights grow longer. Whether you choose to paint your rooms to reflect the season or simply add colorful accents, the effect is just as powerful. To teach us how to decorate with fall paint colors both subtle and bold, AD turned to Farrow & Ball’s head of creative, Charlie Cosby, for advice on incorporating dark hues in every room of the house. Read on for her helpful hints on how to make an impression in your home this fall.

Elizabeth Carrasco writes: "I would describe my personal design style as transitional with tendencies toward mid-century modern. Natural, organic fabrics and finishes are my preferred way to make a space feel more casual and relaxed. Fortunately for me, some of the popular colors of today — shades of turquoise, coral and ‘greige’ (that’s gray and beige) — have been my lifelong favorites. Because each client’s individual wants and needs are different, I am driven to create what I believe is best, beneficial and beautiful. The process is fluid, evolving with the ever-changing aspects of the industry, with just one constant — a cohesive, uncluttered result."

We lean art against them and drill curtain rods into them, scuff them with chairs and sometimes ignore them completely.
When thoughtfully considered, these often overlooked features form the foundation of any decorating scheme and impart a finished look. Walls can dramatically transform a space, lending historical reference or sleek sophistication, eye-catching architectural detail or whimsical fun.
