Design Guide: Interior Design Blog and Ideas for Color Trends Style Decorating Tips Events.

With an eye out for the hottest new design and products on the market, Dallas Market Center just announced it's 2009 Next Big Thing contest winner... and the award goes to... Donna Potter, creator of Freedom Gates. Inspired by the need for a stylish way to keep Fido at bay, Freedom Gates incorporate sophisticated home interior design elements with the functionality of a durable dog gate. Make from sturdy, shatter-proof resin, these acryllic panels (in a variety of artful colors, patterns, and designs) are interchangeable, heavy-duty, and scratch free (and certainly more pleasing to the eye than your current white plastic doggie gate.) Congratulations to Freedom Gates! For more information and ordering, contact Freedom Gates.
