FEATURE/The Domain Book of Intuitive Home Design To Debut in High Point, North Carolina.

NORWOOD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE FEATURES)--Oct. 12, 1998--Judy George, CEO of Domain Home Fashions, has announced that she will be debuting her book, The Domain Book of Intuitive Home Design (Clarkson Potter), at two spectacular events at the International Home Furnishings Market in High Point, North Carolina, in October.

On October 16, 1998, Ms. George will be speaking on "Women in an Intuitive Era," at The International Home Furnishings Center's Design Seminar Series Luncheon. This event will take place at noon, in International Ball Room B. The Domain Book of Intuitive Home Design will be available to purchase before and after the seminar and Ms. George will hold a book signing after the presentation. The proceeds from this event will go The Furniture Library. In addition, Ms. George will be honored at the WITHIT (Women in the Home Industry Today) Market Get Together and Cocktail Party on October 18, 1998, from 6:00 - 8:00 PM, which will be co-sponsored by Reflex(TM), Polymer Cushioning. Ms. George will be happy to autograph copies of her book, The Domain Book of Intuitive Home Design, at the cocktail party. Proceeds from the sale of the book will benefit the Furniture Discovery Center.

"I am thrilled to be debuting my book in High Point," said Ms. George in discussing the book debut. "I feel the International Home Furnishings Market is the most appropriate place to introduce my book, because `Intuitive Design' is a home design trend that is revolutionizing the industry by focusing on becoming accessible to the customer. Today, we are truly acknowledging what our customers long for -- design reflective of each one's personality! What a wonderful time for the home fashions industry."

Beginning with a fun 20-question Personality Quiz, The Domain Book of Intuitive Home Design, leads readers on a journey of self-discovery. Ms. George identifies readers as one of four "personalities" -- the independent and cultured Visionary, creative and nurturing Artisan, pragmatic and efficient Idealist, or the flamboyant and risk-taking Adventurer -- and explores how these types express themselves through aesthetic choices.

In discussing her book, Ms. George said, "I have truly enjoyed helping people find their unique decorating personality. I strive to stir my reader's passions and encourage their creativity. By exploring how we express ourselves through aesthetic choices and determining our particular tastes in furnishings, colors, textures and styles, we are able to create a home that is a reflection of our true selves." Ms. George continued, "The creation of a home environment begins as a declaration of independence and evolves into an expression of self that is as distinctive as a fingerprint, a scent, a voice. When we learn to listen to the needs of our body, mind, spirit and sense of humor, we are able to create this most special place."
