[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm building a house in Bethesda right now.  It's 5000 square feet.  It's so much work.  I even hired a designer and we meet nearly every week.  And all of the vendors are nearby the builder so I have to drive an hour to get to the vendors.  If I didn't have a designer, it would be so much harder.  I'd be constantly second guessing myself.  I'm also going over my budget which was absolute crap to begin with.  Like $45 for a flush mount light in the bedrooms.  That is not a TERRIBLE budget but for this price point I am spending about $200 on them instead.  If you want a fan...that's $200 over budget.  I didn't even realize how much little things I have to pick.  Door handles, garage door, cabinet pulls, the size of the cabinet pulls.  I have no regrets because I am getting what I want and I have the time (although I'm 7 months pregnant...) but I also own my own business and I can take a few hours here and there.  It's literally a few hours a week though.  And again, without my designer it would be a LOT more.  [/quote]

Thank you, this is very helpful. How much is a few hours a week - like 10-15? I could handle that. If it’s more like 40, I could not. Also, would you mind sharing your designer’s name? Sounds amazing.[/quote]
