 How Symmetry Closets and Julie Schuster Began a Design Collaboration
“In 2016, Julie and I collaborated on a project for The Interior Design Society and we both felt we worked very well together. Naturally, when Julie had a client with a space that was tailor-made for a storage-design solution, Julie called on me to help her out. I am so glad she did; the vanity we designed and built for her client was a fun and interesting challenge. I look forward to the next opportunity to work with Julie.” You can click here to read the full article.

Molloy Students Overhaul Chairs for 'Chairity'
Students from the IDS Molloy Student Chapter have volunteered their services
in the design of the dining room at the Edna Moran Family Shelter at the INN.
The Mary Brennan INN of Long Island is a non-profit organization that provides
food, shelter and long-term housing as well as support services to people who
seek help and has a dedicated staff and volunteers.
In order to raise money, the students had a "Chairity" fundraiser May 10. They took discarded chairs, re-purposed them and auctioned them off at the event. There were 20 chairs, and there were also baskets donated for the raffle. It was a very successful event, raising $6800.

The Interior Design Society has joined The Interior Design Continuing Education Council (IDCEC), effective Jan. 1. Click here to learn more.
Information on CEU change for IDS Associate members
As of January 1, 2017, IDS Associate members must earn a minimum of 0.4 (4 hours) approved continuing education units (CEU) each year. Please make note of the following helpful information regarding CEUs and CEU filing to maintain your Associatel level membership in IDS.
IDS bylaws and policies require Professional and Associate members to meet the continuing education requirement. The IDS continuing education requirement is separate from any mandated continuing education requirement in your local jurisdiction. Check with your state regulatory board for requirements.
Filing CEUs
IDS members must utilize the Interior Design Continuing Education Council (IDCEC) registry to file CEUs. Each IDS member must create a free account through IDCEC. Once you have created your IDCEC account, you will receive a unique IDCEC number to login into the IDCEC website (your IDCEC number is different than your IDS member number). The IDCEC user registry allows you to upload and track your continuing education activity as well as store a record for you under your account. Check your IDCEC account regularly to ensure your records are up-to-date. At the end of each CEU cycle, you will be required to submit your IDCEC report to the IDS National office to verify that you have fulfilled your CEU requirement.
Special Circumstances
IDS may grant an adjustment to the requirement for individuals experiencing poor health, certified by a physician; a specific physical or mental disability, certified by an appropriate health care professional; extended duty with the armed forces; or for extreme hardship, which, in the board’s judgment, makes it impossible for the member to comply. Requests for an adjustment to the continuing education requirement must be made at least two months (by October 30) prior to the end of the current reporting period.
Noncompliance
At the end of a reporting period, members who have failed to meet the CEU requirements will be subject to a non-compliance fee ($10 per CEU). Any member who fails to comply with the continuing education requirement, including payment of the noncompliance fee, may be subject to devaluation of Professional membership.

 The most financially successful interior design professionals are often the most diversified. One lucrative stream of revenue available to real estate stagers is offering interior design services. Problem is, too many stagers avoid that opportunity because they feel they lack the proper credentials. True, stagers without design certification can't call themselves "interior designers." But most certainly can promote themselves as "interior design professionals."

You undoubtedly love your pet, but cats and dogs can be rough 'n' tough on your home furnishings. But having animal companions doesn't mean you have to live with torn couches, stained rugs, and claw-gouged floors. Really! You just have to shop carefully for beautiful things that can withstand being in the same house as your four-legged friends.
