[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I try to mindful not to text work related things after hours.  You could have emailed her.  Text feels pushy.  She is sending it to you tomorrow.  You are just a prospective client.  There are probably dozens of you, most of whom won't move forward because they can't afford it.  If you are squabbling about $400, sounds like you can't afford it.[/quote]

I agree with this. There is a difference between text and email. If you had emailed her at 7:45pm on a Fri you would not have gotten the “chastizing” response from her, she just would have waited until Monday to respond. It wasn’t cool to text her at 7:45 on a Fri night and in her shoes I’d be leery of working with you, especially given how little work you are giving her.

I also agree that from the start it sounds like you are going to be unhappy working with a designer period. 40 hours isn’t a lot of time to do interior design for a home. I used a designer just for specific rooms on the main level and it was more time than that. What’s inevitably going to happen is that she will present you with ideas/plans, you will be unhappy with at least some of them, and there will be back and forth and you will exceed those hours or start nickel and diming the process and you are going to wind up unhappy.
