[quote=Anonymous]17:20 PP, why not just email her?

Can anyone shed some light on how the "discount" system works? I have one option who charges 30% over her net price. And another who charges a big hourly but says she doesn't charge anything over her cost. (So if sofa is 100, designer 1 charges me 130, number 2 charges 100.)

HOWEVER, I wonder if all designer discounts are the same? The one who charges 30% is very established, and I wonder if her discounts are larger since she does more business with the design houses. The one who doesn't charge is brand new to the DC scene.

Both are vague about what their discount is. So, it's hard to compare apples to apples. Plus, I get the feeling they are thinking, "well, if you have to ask, then you can't afford it."  (By the way, this attitude befuddles me. How in the world do people afford to have decorators if they don't care how much stuff costs? I can afford it because I run a business and run it well, plus lots of luck, of course.  I'm not about to start being stupid about money now.)[/quote]
