And the problem with doing it yourself is it takes TONS of effort and your design still may not turn out great.

Help me choose a floor color Half of my house needs the floor replaced. I need to pick a color of fake wood floor that will jive next to the existing wood floors in the picture and next to the white trim.

Designer way over budget — how to proceed We hired a design firm at a cost of around $30k and gave them a budget of $160k with a stretch to $180k. We told them we wanted the space to be more functional, more storage, more cabinets, etc. They operate totally independently, there was no scope creep, no additional requirements, nothing. They came back with a quote for $300k. We can’t affor…
