Introducing ::Surroundings:: Contributor Lori Dolnick

I am thrilled to introduce Lori Dolnick as a new regular contributor to ::Surroundings::!

Lori is a 20-year marketing and communications professional who has strategically planned and executed programs in the kitchen and bath industry for over 13 years as a Vice President for Frank Advertising. She has been quoted as an industry expert on appliances and design in the Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times, USA Today and Boston Globe. She also appears frequently on HGTV as well as regional radio home improvement shows. Lori edits and writes award-winning newsletters on design for several of her clients. Her articles have appeared in American Dream Homes, European Homes & Gardens and Kitchen + Bath Business. You can email Lori at ldolnick (at) mac.com .

On Monday, Lori has a piece on what to look for when selecting a new refrigerator and just how much energy is being sucked down the drain by older models. Makes me want to run right out to my local appliance store!

I'm also excited to announce that along with Lori, I have several other incredible professionals lined up to add their expertise and experience to ::Surroundings:: So, stay tuned!
