South Dakota Interior Designers 20th Anniversary Trip

This past weekend I made a trip to Minneapolis with 15 other interior designers from Sioux Falls.  We are all members of South Dakota Interior Designer (SDID).  Many of the other designers work for commercial design firms, some work for cabinetry showrooms and I was the one independent designer.  

Our trip consisted of stopping at several showrooms, factories, and meeting with reps.  We were wined and dined like queens!  Roof top cocktail parties and boat ride tours!  It was a lot of fun and many memories were made!  

One stop we made was at Mingle, which is located in Plymouth, MN.  It is a relatively new furniture store, just opening a year ago.  Mingle is a 25,000-square-foot home design resource center where you can find everything you need for your home design and decorating projects under one roof.  A really beautiful showroom- and great concept!  Check them out!  http://www.mingleteam.com


Taking a trip for your profession is so exciting!  Seeing new products, new uses of products and sharing time with people who share your love for design is such a great way to keep fresh and pumped up about what you are doing!  

Next trip: February in Las Vegas to the International Builders Show and the National Kitchen and Bath show!  Very excited! 

Maybe if I keep taking trips I can put off my desire to go to back to school....for a while!
