What is the ASID and the IIDA even good for if they don’t challenge this ****? I guess its those meet and greets at panera bread they sponsor…

Exactly- we also need a bit of courage to realize it, embrace it and make it ours.

I could not have stated the problem better…..However, I was unaware that Big Lots sold furniture. Thanks for the tip that helps.

I thought interior designers are like stylist, they tell people to buy expensive crap. You guys scammed my family enough to buy contemporary furniture that loses in value the next year. Fuck you guys, my interior designer will be a store clerk at Big Lots from now on. All my furniture will come from Big Lots too. What’s the point of cooking in a kitchen if it will ruin your design? Oh yeah, if any of you has a fine eye for glass furniture, I hope the shards of glass blinds you when it breaks. If it’s fragile, it’s worthless.

I think over the pond it is cocktail hour, but that never stopped them at the 3 martini lunch in the 60′s ( a more civil time). Perhaps World Interiors Day May 26 would be a good place to start?

I need a drink…..Have you noticed how much alcohol is consumed on that show? Anyway I digress and it is to early for a drink…..or is it? It’s 5:00 somewhere……

Deseri I agree I am just not sure how to educate the press- isn’t that the job of our professional organizations?

Owning a decorative arts shop in NOLA is not the same as being a designer, nor is decorating houses being a designer. But as we all know we don’t own the term “interior designer”, so anyone can use it. Mad men all of them!

Unfortunately these “celebrity designers” keep popping up, Lenny Kravitz, Cindy Crawford, etc. with just their famous name and good taste. The thing is, the articles are written by people who don’t know the difference. All journalists should be performing due diligence, however it’s apparently not the case. Have you ever considered clarifying this gross misidentification with the journalists who write the articles? As designers we are often “preaching to the choir” about what an Interior Designer is and the distinction from a decorator. Shouldn’t we be also correcting the Media perception and it’s incorrect labeling?
