September 22, 2010 – Chicago Home + Garden magazine teamed up with the American Society of Interior Designers to present “Picture This” at The Chopping Block in The Merchandise Mart. Amid hor d’oeuvres and cocktails, readers received free, in-person design advice from ASID designers. Guests brought photos of their spaces for the professionals, who sketched out possible solutions to each reader’s design dilemma. Guests also enjoyed a brief presentation by ASID president Joan Kaufman on the benefits of hiring a professional designer.
