• THE IMPORTANCE OF SELF-REGULATION & THE DECORATOR vs. DESIGNER TITLE MATCH

• POSITIVE PRESS AND THE REGULATED INTERIOR DESIGN MESSAGE

  It is rare when PROFESSIONALINTERIORDESIGNER comes across a mainstream press article that actually discusses professional Interior Design as we know it.  95% is simply innately talented interior decorators posing as qualified interior designer pabulum.  4% are articles targeting Interior Design regulations as a prime example of government over-reach and the remaining 1% is simply too…

• Michigan’s Interior Design Title Act is Challenged

And here is more anti-regulation news from Texas; “……And what, exactly, is the public danger of an interior or landscape design gone wrong?” http://www.statesman.com/news/news/state-regional-govt-politics/once-government-gets-involved-professions-are-diff/nW25f/ Ahh yes one step forward several leaps backward.

• Michigan Introduces Bill to Repeal Interior Design Registration

  Funny- Interior Design is the only occupation/profession stricken from this bill; http://www.legislature.mi.gov/%28S%284o5v5rftbhdxht5505uuxt45%29%29/mileg.aspx?page=BillStatus&objectname=2013-HB-4378 Something smells fishy in the Mitten State.  I hope the Michigan Interior Design Coalition can address this before it goes any further.
