LRM Interior Design Wins Twice at the ASID 2009 Design Awards

Sept. 14, 2009 - PRLog -- At the Coto De Caza Golf Club, a marquee hovered over the 15 beautifully set tables, set up for the event to honor the ASID Orange County chapter's winners for the 2009 Design Awards.
Lisa Rachelle McDennon, principal of LRM Interior Design, had barely had a chance to sit down before she was up again...to receive her first award of the evening.
"I was a little nervous as I arrived, but I couldn't sit down," recalls Lisa. "I introduced myself to a few people, like Wanda Bogart, an icon of interior design; Diane Sparacino, ASID-OCC president; and Robert Esterley, of whom I've been a fan for some time."
Lisa sat down as the first category, Living Rooms, was announced. The big screen scrolled through the nominees, and soon LRM Interior Design's entry appeared. Diane Sparacino opened the envelope, said "And the winner is: Lisa...."
The noticeably long pause was excruciating for Lisa, but worth it all when Diane finally finished with "...McDennon!" Shocked, Lisa made her way to the front to accept her award and have her photograph taken for the press.
LRM Interior Design's second chance at an award came towards the end of the evening, in the Special Rooms category. It was announced that, since it was such a big category, it had been split up into four awards: Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum. LRM Interior Design won the Gold, taking second place in the category.
President Diane Sparacino made a short speech about how, although she had only met Lisa a few moments before, she would like to welcome her to ASID as a new member, and congratulated her on such an auspicious start to her membership. Diane Sparacino pointed out that LRM Interior Design was the only contender to win more than one award.
“I felt lucky to have not only won two awards, but also to be personally mentioned by the president at the podium,” said Lisa.
Since the judging for the awards was completely anonymous with independent judges from Los Angeles, candidates were judged solely on their entry’s content, quality and talent, not on the designer’s name or reputation. The judges were a mix of design industry professionals and professors of design.
An upcoming issue of Orange Coast Magazine will be featuring LRM Interior Design alongside the other winners of the 2009 ASID Orange County Design Awards.
