September Member Spotlight: Charlie Bolivar
When did you realize that you wanted to become an interior designer?
When I was about 17 years old, I realized that I wanted to be an interior designer. I started working at the D&D building in NYC at the age of 17 for a company named Decorators Walk. I started in their Sample Department, providing wallpaper samples and fabric samples to decorators and their design clients. I subsequently moved on to assisting designers in decorating the show room and staging furniture to create complete rooms to showcase potential designs. Eventually, I took over the responsibility for that role, and it really fueled my passion for interior design!

IDS Member Nicole Yee featured in Homes and Gardens for Tudor Home Design
The home belongs to Danielle and Phil Hayes and their three daughters, Cecily, Meara and Remi. Danielle and Phil were drawn to the Trestle Glen neighborhood of Oakland for its strong sense of community, tree-lined streets, idyllic climate and proximity to the city.
Trestle Glen was the first master-planned housing development in the U.S., featuring small lots and tree-lined streets designed by the Olmsted brothers, sons of Central Park designer Frederick Law Olmsted.

2018-2019 Designer of the Year: Laundry and craft rooms
By putting the entire run of length to use, a long counter now serves for laundry prep and folding, while ample storage above, below, and all around offer storage tricks to multi-tasking parents. A tall cabinet now encloses cleaning supplies, where mops, brooms and all the odds and ends now find a home. Baker Design Group knocked this laundry room out of the park!

2018-2019 Designer of the Year: Individual Impact
Winner: Barbara Owens, Owens Interiors at Home, Texas
The Child Advocacy Center (CAC) is an agency dedicated to providing hope and healing to children of abuse. The agency collaborates with professionals in investigation, prosecution and treatment of child sexual and physical abuse. Barbara Owen's background in therapy gave her great insight into the use of color for healing and spacial and interactive therapies. Built in the 1960's, this home was donated by one of its benefactors. The remodel was to be done completely on donations and charity. The design concept was to create as pleasant an environment as possible for the children or families being brought in for investigation or therapy.

The fundamentals of light layering
According to top residential lighting expert Randall Whitehead, "There is no single light fixture that gives you everything you need to illuminate a room properly." In the home and commercial spaces, proper light layering — ambient, task and accent lighting — helps you bring a room to life with design flexibility and functionality.

Inevitably, this means letting colleagues into our residences — albeit virtually — and having them catch glimpses of it via our backdrop. Depending on where your workspace is located, this view could range from a boring blank wall to windows or cluttered bookshelves.

Fall home decor trend: Cozy, with dash of color
Boston Herald
It seems like we went from summer to fall in a snap this year. One minute we were sweating in 90-degree mid-August, and not a week later we were sending our sweaters to the dry cleaner to start mixing them into our wardrobes. While the outerwear debuted recently, we're still getting ready to spend a lot more time inside as we wait winter, and the pandemic, out.

Instead of couples counseling, try an interior designer
Architectural Digest
Dina Gachman writes: The biggest fight I ever saw my parents have was when my mom threw out my dad's beloved brown leather recliner. It was torn, worn and, well, brown, and she was an interior designer who just couldn't take it anymore. My dad was livid, but my mom knew he would never agree to part with the chair unless she torched it or clandestinely paid someone to haul it away, so she did what she had to do.
