Just bought my first house and I don’t want it look like I threw all of my furniture in there, also don’t want to buy too much new stuff. Anyone have experience hiring an interior designer? Worth it?

West Elm has free design services and you don’t have to buy anything. I used them and they guy even recommended dining chairs from a different store because he thought they would look better. Even if you don’t end up buying anything from there, it will give you a better idea of colors, scale, etc.

We did a few years ago. Overall, it was not a good experience. We agreed to buy furniture from her, supposedly at a discount. We found very comparable/suitable furniture at about 2/3 the price.

Our second time around, we used a different designer on an hourly rate. We wanted help with more of the big picture stuff, like colors. She spent an hour figuring the specific angle for a vase on the table in the corner.

funny

Agree with the west elm idea

I do interiors on the side. Yes, we are worth it but we are expensive and have lofty tastes. Be prepared to shell out. 🤗

Recruitment can’t tell me what feedback is creating this gap but also won’t stop mentioning the positive praise and feedback the team had for me.

I am starting a 4-months internship at a company B in January. However, I just heard from a company T that they will interview me for their full time position.

Company T is paying me way more (twice) than Company B. And I like company T more. However, they want me to start working in February if I get this position. If I end up getting the offer, I will have to quit my internship at Company B, almost immediately after I begin the internship.

Is this okay?
