[quote=Anonymous]We used a designer (and a general contractor since some of the renovations required alterations to our house.)  I like design myself, but I also work full time and didn't have the time to devote to decorating/renovations without help.  I probably wouldn't have bothered with a designer if we didn't have to have events at our house.  DH is a law firm partner and we have to host parties quite often.  We had been to enough events at partner's houses when we were younger that I had a pretty good understanding of how a house needed to function in order to hold events.  I find it easier to keep the house clean now that everything is intentional.  We either made a place for it or we got rid of it and we built in a lot of storage for the kid's toys, etc. We have a small house by partner standards (rowhouse in the city) so we had to be extra careful to make the rooms functional for entertaining. I knew if the house wasn't pretty great, people would question why we didn't just buy a gigantic house in the burbs. Maybe they still do. [/quote]
