And the Winners Are

The presentation of the annual VISION Design and Workroom Competition Awards was an inspirational hour filled with jaw-dropping projects, applause, camaraderie and even a few tears. Alongside Grace McNamara, presenters Dian Garbarini with Designs by Dian in Mission Viejo, CA, and Cheryl Draa with Cheryl Draa Interior Designs in Marietta, GA, gave numerous awards to over two dozen talented designers from across the country.

Katherine Wozniak with Katherine Elizabeth Designs in Barrington, IL, was recognized as the Designer of the Year. Wozniak also captured firstplace awards in the decorative hardware/trim and combination treatment categories. Linda Tully with Custom Coverings in Lexington, KY, took home the competition’s other top honor, Workroom of the Year. She received several other awards, including first place in the combination treatments and specialty window treatments categories, and a tie for second place in the top treatments category.

Terri Booser, co-owner and artisan at Sugar and Spice Draperies and Shades in Houston, TX, received the Industry Achievement Award during the ceremony. Booser, along with her husband Jeff, has organized the Construction Zone for the last 10 years. 2019 was the couple’s last year heading up this popular show feature. McNamara thanked both for their service to the window fashions industry.
