[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Finishing up a two room design with an interior designer in Vienna.  Her model, and the others I considered, is that her fee is built into the total project cost.

This was part of a renovation (separate from designer) to open up wall between the rooms and make it a larger multi-functional space, 1st floor center hall colonial.

Benefit to me was that she got my style quickly, made suggestions that were exactly what I wanted, didn't feel insanely expensive giving that I was doing a large space from scratch.  I have a space that exactly fits our needs (kids, dog, etc), that looks great and is completely customized.

She also suggested paint colors for the entire floor (not just her portion), helped with other design issues in the renovation, etc.

[b]Total cost is at about $40k:[/b]
custom drapes for five windows and sliding glass door
custom sectional
low love seat
two swivel chairs
two arm chairs
two area rugs
two smaller stools
media console
two large coffee tables
one small end table
floor lamp
two table lamps[/quote]

How on earth?!?

A sectional alone is $10k for custom USA made.  Easy to spend 15-20k on a good brand like Wesley Hall.

Custom drapes for 5 windows is at least $15k

Are you buying cheap Potterybarn stuff and claiming it’s a designer?[/quote]
