This past week California Home + Design announced its 2011 awards for the best designs in 10 categories. I like to refer to it as an alternate version of the Golden Globes, but for interior designers and architects. I was rooting for one of my favorite Los Angeles designers, Jeff Andrews, to win for his Dexter design for the Showtime House. He won for best showcase house design and Dexter's Refuge is featured on the current cover of California Home + Design! Congrats to all the 2011 winners.
