[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=EyeCandyOP]A full-service designer can do that, but perhaps you should look for someone who specializes in corporate apartments or AirBnBs since this is a rental "under" your business?

When you say "contemporary," do you mean trendy or do you mean modern? What brands do you prefer? Just so you know, we have a [url=https://www.ligneroset-dc.com/]Ligne Roset[/url] in Glover Park. [url=https://www.dwr.com/store?lang=en_US&StoreId=13]Design Within Reach[/url], Baker (check out the [url=https://www.bakerfurniture.com/design-story/designers-and-collections/baker-luxe/]Baker Luxe[/url] and [url=https://www.bakerfurniture.com/design-story/designers-and-collections/kara-mann/]Kara Man[/url]n lines), and [url=https://www.boconcept.com/en-us/stores/find-your-local-store/usa/district-of-columbia/boconcept-georgetown]BoConcept[/url] in Georgetown. [url=https://www.roche-bobois.com/en-US]Roche BoBois[/url] in town and in Tysons. [url=https://www.mgbwhome.com/Washington-DC-Signature-Store.html]Michell Gold & Bob Williams[/url] near Logan Circle (and maybe also in Tysons, but I haven't been out there in a bit). There's an RH at Tysons and they have the RH Modern line, of course. Those are the national brands...we also have local places like Theodore's, Hudson & Crane, and more. If your reference point for design is Pinterest, some of the places I'm going to recommend might be more high end than you are expecting.

OP here. I may not have the lingo exactly down but I guess “modern“ would describe the look I’m going for. And I should clarify[b], my business will be paying the rent[/b] but it’s not for Airbnb – it will be for my personal use. Thank you for the list of brands – that will be a good reference. However, I am more interested in having somebody do everything from start to finish.

I’ve done something like this once before (it was a bigger space, though, and there was a renovation in addition to just furnishing the place), and I was absolutely astonished at how much time and money I spent. I am a little bit of a perfectionist and I got caught up in tremendous number of decisions and details. I actually stopped focusing on my business for like a year and really set myself back financially. I don’t want to do that again so I would like to outsource the project.

Can anyone else provide an estimate for what I’m looking for?  I have to say that I was surprised to read the prior PP’s response suggesting that it would cost $100,000 for a 750 square-foot place, but on the other hand, I know firsthand that everything can be costly and time-consuming if you want a really put-together space.  (FWIW, I do want something kind of high-end so if Pinterest was not the correct reference, let’s scratch that.)[/quote]

So you mean, tax evasion? Right? [/quote]
