I usually know in advance if a project will be going into the queue for a design competition or not. I did have one surprise though this year. I was really excited to submit a beautiful kitchen we did with incredible metal sculptures but it just didn’t photograph well. The cabinets had a shine and the light was too reflective. I was so disappointed.
Wendy was an early adopter of Houzz, advertising on the platform as far back as 2015. She still attributes much of her success to Houzz, and specifically being an early adopter. For a designer getting started today, they may not have as much success on the already saturated platform. It may behoove them to get experimental and trailblaze a newer platform. Find the place in the Wild West that doesn’t already have a populated boom town and become the mayor.
Artist and interior designer, Stephanie Poulsen shared, “Being accepted into the Salon des Refusés – Emerging Artist Exhibition is a dream come true! I am truly honored to be part of this inaugural event and to be selected to share some of my work. This is an incredible opportunity that our community worked to create as a leading art exhibit and will highlight so many talented artists and their exemplary work.”
