Yes, she advertises on DCUM and MONA at least once a month so she must be good.

Look for an interior decorator not designer—yes there is a difference.

They don't really make money doing this. A big part of the way they make money is commission on the new furniture. So it just isn't worth their while to do what you are asking.

Try Mintwood Home. She’s local and has an edesign package for this very situation.

I’ve interviewed 2 designers so far and they’ve both wanted to start from scratch . For the record, my current furniture is very basic and classical ( so not hard to style around )

Sign up for an hour or two of the expert

Any recommendations?

I haven’t found anyone really good who does this. Most designers want to order the big furniture to be worth their time

Did the designers tell you they don’t want to work with your furniture or that the budget for the project doesn’t fit their model?

Use an online service or a store designer.

Take pictures of all 4 walls of your room and take measurements.Set up an account on Houzz, go to the design dilemma section and post pictures along with your questions.

OP here . Yes, I could use a fresh coat of paint if that can help .
