JCW at Student Career Day!
We are always excited to have students and classes come in from the local design schools to meet us, tour our library and workroom, and learn more about the custom furniture process. We are happy to answer questions- we know that window treatments especially can get tricky with yardage, hardware, and motorization, so we are here to help!
Judy’s Custom Workroom recently participated in ASID Orange 
County’s Student Career Day at the 
Laguna Design Center. We partnered up 
with Kravet to give group presentations 
throughout the day, about how to work hand
in hand with a custom workroom. There were about 200 students who from all over OC, so it was great to meet tomorrow’s talent!
Schumacher & Trina Turk Team Up Again!

JCW Welcomes Design Students!
A big thank you to Orange Coast College interior design students for coming in for our student day this month!
JCW and Professor Sandy Craig organized a day for her students to learn all about how designers work with a workroom. The students are currently enrolled in her Interior Materials and Products-ID150 course. We covered many topics including fabric selection and appropriate use, the variety of manufacturers and mills, yardage, pricing, and production. We went over the design process of custom furniture from concept to completion. Window treatments were also discussed. At the end of our presentation we answered questions and then gave a tour of our resource library and workroom. We hoped to reiterate that questions are always welcome-we are an ASID Industry Partner and here to help our designers!
It was a pleasure to meet everyone. We hope to have more educational events and introduce ourselves to more Southern California design students!
Here are some photos of our event…

Designers We Love to Work With: Deirdre Eagles
Did you visit the beautiful Philharmonic House of Design in Laguna Beach this year?
Southern California interior designers transformed the 20th annual Philharmonic House of Design into a stunning retreat showcased from April 24th to May 20th.

The mission of the Philharmonic Society, a not-for-profit organization, is to foster, promote and increase the knowledge and appreciation of music and the arts through the presentation of performances of national and international stature and the development and implementation of a wide variety of education outreach programs.
We had the pleasure of working with Deirdre Eagles, the interior designer responsible for transforming the home’s kitchen and nook.  Deirdre Eagles Interior Design an award-winning full service residential interior design firm. The firm handles projects of all sizes and scopes, while specializing in kitchen and bathroom remodeling and custom homes. The firm has done projects throughout Southern California.
