(i guess i would never make it as a "million dollar decorator"!) when i am building a house for myself, i know my budget, and don't exceed it, and i make decisions very quickly. i find with almost every client i have helped build, they almost always want to upgrade and exceed their budget...which actually stresses me out a little.i feel that part of my job is to help my client get the look they want within their budget. i know that all of those $20 and $200 changes are going to add up, and the house will end up cost $20k more than they planned.autumnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07740076098992546184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8944273077019168833.post-66498734564074042552011-06-16T07:54:07.711-06:002011-06-16T07:54:07.711-06:00It's a lot of work, but it's fun too.

I've always wondered if it's easier for a designer to work on other people's homes than it is on their own.Karen https://www.blogger.com/profile/02441070110507014088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8944273077019168833.post-42274762011790830552011-06-15T16:59:48.231-06:002011-06-15T16:59:48.231-06:00how exciting when things start to take shape and y...how exciting when things start to take shape and you get an idea of the flow between rooms :)lisaroyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09201063720578870254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8944273077019168833.post-58329238239155617982011-06-15T12:05:03.727-06:002011-06-15T12:05:03.727-06:00The one thing I'd wish I'd done when I bui...The one thing I'd wish I'd done when I built my house was to put in more blocking between the studs in all the places I would later want to hang something- like towel bars, curtain rod brackets, shelves. It would be so nice when hanging heavy draperies not to rely on hollow-wall fasteners.Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07451140269967767457noreply@blogger.com
