A nomination committee—which included Margaret Mintz, president, Mintz & Partners; Nicole Polly, editor/creative consultant; and Westchester Home editorial director Robert Schork, executive editor Jenn Andrlik, and editor-at-large Nancy Soriano—narrowed down the hundreds of entries. Winners for each category were chosen by a judging panel that included Sam Allen, owner, Sam Allen Interiors; D2 Interieurs owner Denise Davies and creative director Kerri Rosenthal; Lorri Dyner, home and lifestyle expert and TV personality; Debra Funt, owner, Debra Funt Interiors; and Susan Marocco, owner, Susan Marocco Interiors.
