Marc-Michaels Interior Design, Inc. Hires Christian Tejkal as Senior Designer of Interior Detailing
TV3s home makeover show Nevilles Doorstep Challenge is back for a third series next month with Crown Paints and DoneDeal on board as sponsors.
Under the format, interior designer Neville Knott revamps the tired and datedhomes of eight participants in a two-day challenge and on a strict maximum budget of 1,000, with the money provided by the sponsors.
The programme is made for TV3 by Vision Independent Productions (VIP), the maker of Operation Transformation and The Hit, and is billed as an interior design show for the times we live in.
Filming on the new series begins this weekend, and the first three homes have already been selected, but the producers are inviting any homeowners who are keen on participating in the later episodes to contact them at doorstep@mipmg.tv with the subject line application request.
Crown Paints has sponsored the series from the beginning, but this is the first year that DoneDeal has decided to back it. The classifieds site is hoping to spark redecorators and upcyclers interest in its House and DIY listings through its association with the show, which will feature furniture and other items bought via the site.
Executive producer Philip Kampff, the managing director of VIP, said the two brands were organic to the objective of the show.
Knott , who heads up the Bachelor of Arts degree in Interior Design at the Dublin Institute of Technology, has worked as a consultant for a number of Irish companies over the years, including Clerys department store. He also has the title of head of trend colours for Crown Paints.
His broadcasting career began 12 years ago, when he presented Beyond the Hall Door for RT and he counts Open House, Showhouse and Roomers on his television CV.
The home makeover television genre remains popular on Irish screens, with Nevilles Doorstep Challenge securing an average of 180,000 viewers in its Friday 8pm slot last year.
Meanwhile, VIP recently received its first series order from the UK market, after ITV2 commissioned Viral Tap, a comedy panel show co-production with Yalli Productions that will be anchored by presenter Caroline Flack.
Sisler Johnston Interior Designs was opened 30 years ago but has branched out into a business that specializes in detailing the inside of buildings. It reaches well beyond the First Coast and also includes charitable work.
Owner Judith Sisler Johnston has a long history in the Jacksonville area. The business manages to generate about $4 million in annual revenue from her offices off Philips Highway on Florida Mining Boulevard South. But she went through two careers as a teacher and then a psychologist before settling on her current job path.
Johnston is a Florida licensed interior designer and a member of the American Society of Interior Designers. That came after a brief stint in real estate.
However Johnston first entered the workforce after getting an education degree and working as a teacher. Then after getting her masters degree in psychology from Truman State University in Kirksville, Mo., she worked in that field with clinical, hospital and private practice patients for four years in Chicago.
It was her move to Jacksonville in 1977 that started her on the path to interior design and shes since handled projects from large commercial complexes for which she might charge $25,000 for a 50,000-square-foot project, to remodeling interiors at hotels and resorts. Most of Johnstons business is in the Southeastern United States, though shes done projects in Arizona, Colorado and Texas.
Beyond her commercial work, which has included designing the interior of corporate jets and residential space for the U.S. embassy in the Bahamas, Johnston continues to branch out by providing work for charitable organizations. Shes provided design work for HabiJax homes and Builders Care, the charitable wing of the Northeast Florida Builders Association.
Youre a very skilled interior designer. What compels you to work with charitable projects?
Just the opportunity to give back to the community of Jacksonville and the opportunity to demonstrate love for God and other people by helping. And its a good fit for me.
Whys that a good fit for you?
Because Im in the design and furnishings business. I have stuff and I have talents and materials that they need for projects like that. For me to furnish a little old ladys house who got burned out and has no furnishings, I know where to get it.

Working on the First Coast: Sisler Johnson Interior Design helps makes more than just profit
Sunnyvale, CA (PRWEB) March 27, 2014
iSmart Alarm, Inc is aiming to revolutionize the home security market, again. For 2014, the company is developing and offering new devices to expand on the iSmartAlarm Home Security System, such as the Doorfront front door security solution, Smart Switch outlet controls, glass breakage sensors, satellite sirens, an updated version of the streaming iCamera, security yard signs, and more.
Launching in 2013, the iSmartAlarm Home Security System is the companys flagship product, a self-monitored, self-controlled home security system with no monthly fees and no contracts, emphasizing a 21st century spin on traditional security systems. The iSmartAlarm Home Security System is sleek, expandable, and completely DIY, with no wiring necessary.
iSmart Alarm Inc will be exhibiting these new products at the ISC (International Security Conference) West show in Las Vegas April 2-4 in booth 34064. Held annually in the Sands Expo, the show is the largest security show in North America, focusing on access controls, alarms, home monitoring, high and low-tech security, and the latest in digital and physical protection in the modern world.
With the iSmartAlarm Doorfront, users can remotely monitor entryway activity, know immediately if there are deliveries, and be alerted to suspicious activity. The Doorfront is the first device to seamlessly integrate motion detection, a high-resolution controllable camera, doorbell, and intercom functionalities in an easy-to-use device. The iSmartAlarm Doorfront provides a wide view of activity and notifies a user via their Android or iOS device if there is motion in range or if someone rings the doorbell. The user can then see who is at the door and directly communicate with the visitor, view activity through the live streaming video and automatically or manually take snapshots of action and people.
With the iSmartAlarm Smart Switch, users can remotely control electrical outlets, see when their lighting is turned on or off, ensure potentially dangerous appliances are turned off when not in use, and monitor energy usage. Automated schedules can be established to secure the home, to create the impression of a family at home, and provide physical safety so the user will never have to walk into a dark home again. Multiple Smart Switches can be in use at the same time, and can cross-communicate with other devices in the smarthome ecosystem to automatically turn on lights or machines in case of a break-in.
Along with our new App updates, weve focused our attentions on a combination of what our customers want and what our customers need. The upcoming free Android and Apple updates will focus on giving our users more customization capabilities to match their lifestyles, said Raymond Meng, co-founder and CEO, iSmart Alarm. Our new devices will widen the range of controllability in the home, and ultimately give users peace of mind when they are home or away. The game is changing It is not just about security anymore. It is about home control, comfort, and connectivity.
The new iSmartAlarm devices all compliment iSmart Alarms line of existing home control, home security, and home automation products. These products are all part of the iSmartAlarm home control ecosystem, offering users a new level of control and connectivity within their homes. With iSmartAlarm, the ability to monitor, manage, and secure your home, property and family using your iPhone or Android devices has gotten even better.

iSmartAlarm Showcasing New Products and Innovations at ISC West Show in April
By JEFF KAROUB Associated Press
DETROIT (AP) - The families of Detroit's Brightmoor area are delighted that the day is finally approaching when bulldozers will arrive to level more of their neighborhood. After that, their community's future will be like the cleared landscape - a blank canvas.
For years, Brightmoor residents pleaded with the city to demolish vacant homes that scavengers had stripped of wiring and plumbing and anything of value. Some structures are already gone, and now officials aim to do much more, possibly tearing down as many as 450 empty houses each week across more than 20 square miles of this bankrupt city - a vast patchwork of rotting homes comparable to the size of Manhattan.
The huge demolition project holds the potential to transform large parts of Detroit into an urban-redevelopment laboratory like the nation has never seen. But community leaders here and in cities that have attempted similar transformations say Detroit's best efforts could still wither from lack of money, lack of commitment or harsh economic realities.
"What's the plan for lots to keep them from becoming a different type of blight?" asked Tom Goddeeris, executive director of Grandmont Rosedale Development Corp., a nonprofit community improvement group representing a cluster of five Detroit neighborhoods.
The ambitious demolition schedule was formally presented last month as part of the city's plans to emerge from bankruptcy.
The changes could be far-reaching: Unlike other cities where building space is almost always limited, Detroit will offer urban planners a rare chance to experiment with wide-open land. Neighborhood advocates are talking excitedly about creating urban gardens, farms, forests and other types of "green space." Brightmoor already has the Lyndon Greenway, which connects two large parks with smaller parks and bike paths.
No other American city has as many abandoned properties as Detroit. But smaller-scale successes with similar green initiatives have been engineered in places such as Philadelphia and Cleveland.
The Pennsylvania Horticultural Society's Philly Green program has converted roughly 10,000 vacant lots over the last two decades, making it the "gold standard," said Joe Schilling, who directs the Metropolitan Institute at Virginia Tech.
Having a non-governmental organization manage and design the effort, is a huge advantage, Schilling said.

Home vandalized, appliances stolen
Choosing the right kind of appliances for your home whether they are for the kitchen or laundry can seem overwhelming. However, taking into consideration what you want from your appliances is the first step in finding the ones that are right for you.
Once we know what they (the customer) are doing, said Mike Carter, a sales representative for Factory Direct Appliance, in Topeka, then we can have a game plan. Its us asking questions about what they want.
For example, Carter said, if a customer loves to cook and bake, he or she may want to invest in higher-end, more technologically-advanced kitchen appliances like a convection oven or a gas stove. If theyre not a whiz in the kitchen, more basic appliances may be all that they need and maybe they dont need a high capacity washer and dryer because it might be just a couple. Whether you currently use gas or electricity would be another factor to take into consideration when choosing appliances, Carter said.
Before choosing an appliance, it can be helpful to do some research online to get a feel for what you may want before shopping for an appliance. However, Carter said to take online reviews with a grain of salt.
The difficult thing is that sometimes they read something and believe its gospel, he said. Theres a lot of misinformation out there.
Carter said, however, if you read several online reviews and the same problem with a product continues to crop up, that can be a red flag. He said asking a professional at an appliance store about different issues with a particular product can be helpful.
We try to give the pros and cons about what they can expect an appliance to do, he said. We want to help them make an educated decision.
If youre planning to remodel your kitchen, Carter suggests you decide whether you want to replace all your appliances and if so, its a good idea to decide what those appliances will be before the remodeling begins.
Maybe theres wiring or plumbing work that needs to be done first, he said. A lot of the cabinet companies want to know what sizes the appliances are going to be so they can get the sizes (of the cabinets) made right.
Carter said when deciding where to buy your appliances, take into consideration a store that can help you choose whats right for you and for some people, knowing that the store can deliver and service your appliance is an added level of comfort.
