Most everyone is being affected by the economy. Several have lost their homes, many who planned on moving to a larger home are staying where they are in hope of things changing. More and more of my clients are falling into this group, and we are being creative about adding space they want. I'd love to hear from you, and what do you want in your home that you hoped to have in a new home.

I'd also like to hear if you have ever worked with an interior designer, or thought about it, and why you decided not to. For those of you who have worked with a designer, how did you feel about it. Did they help you get the home you wanted? Were they easy to work with? Horror stories? I ask this as a long time designer, and often wonder how people feel about their designers. For those of you that have never worked with a designer, why? I know I have heard stories from my clients, and can't believe some of the things they tell me, until I see them. There are all types of designers, and maybe I can help you find the type of designer you need. What questions to ask the designer, before you spend your money. Let's talk about it. Betty
