Hi Everyone,

I hope everyone is doing well, and I’m so glad you enjoyed the last post about the beautiful new kitchen designed by lovely, Rachel.

 

So many of my friends are sick with or recently got over Covid. We didn’t get it from each other. But, anyway, one of my friends, Lisa, was sick last week and she asked me if I wanted to use her ticket to go to the Beacon Hill Garden Club Hidden Gardens Tour?

Between getting ready for my trip and then getting sick, I forgot to book it.  And then, the Beacon Hill hidden garden tour was sold out. So, yes, I jumped at the chance.

 

Wednesday evening was a lovely outdoor soiree with perfect weather.

Amberly Au and Karolina Dobiecka take the girls doubles title as Westview brings home first Class 6A state team title

Before Saturday, Westview High School had nothing gold from girls tennis in its trophy case. No teams had ever won a state title, and the Wildcats had never won a singles or doubles championship.

But that’s all over now.

On Saturday, Westview’s Amberly Au and Karolina Dobiecka took home the Class 6A girls doubles title in convincing fashion and led the Wildcats to the program’s first team title.

Westview finished the tournament with 25 team points. In second place was Jesuit with 16 and Clackamas was third with 10.

And while the team title feels nice, Dobiecka and Au agreed that the best feeling was to take the title for coach Tom Lefor, who has been coaching Westview girls tennis since 2007.

“It feels great,” said Dobiecka. “I think it means the most for our coach. He’s been coaching tennis for 15 years now at Westview. He’s a very hard

What is LEED and why is it important for Interior Designers?

magenet 3 days ago

The LEED Green Building Standard was created by the United States Green Building Council (USGBC) in response to a growing problem in design and construction: “greenwashing,” or making claims about the sustainability of a product or a design that are misleading. The value of LEED is clear: it provides an objective, third-party standard for determining how green a building or interior is – something that will help us all achieve our goals for a healthier planet.

LEED stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design. When we hear “LEED” we are usually thinking about one of two things: it’s either about the design or the designer. Let’s break that down, and talk about greenwashing and brand along the way.

WHEN LEED IS ABOUT THE DESIGN

When we use the LEED standard to talk about a design, a building,
