[quote=Anonymous]We hired an interior decorator for help on our addition-- we wanted input on our expanded family room and office.  We agreed to a set amount of work/hours/cost for each room, and our overall budget.  We've been surprised that for carpet, for instance, she emailed us a bunch of links from the web showing various rooms, so we don't know the brand/texture/feel/etc.  Same for paint: we get links to rooms with different paint colors on the wall but no specific color recommendations.  For furniture and end tables we've gotten links to products from big chain stores: West Elm, Pottery Barn, etc.  She says she'll put together a rendering based on our choices.

I guess I was expecting more "help"?  This just seems like she searched google and plugged in some of the colors we like, which I could have done myself (i.e: "office with grey wall").  Is this normally how the process works?  She came highly recommended from someone on my school's Facebook group and she's not cheap.
