Another glamorous meal in the life of an interior designer.....As Andrea wrote in her posted comment, we're in the process of value engineering (re-selecting things to fit within the client's budget) the project for which we started this dialogue, and our General Contractor had the flu, so things have been at a stand still.
How have we filled the time, you might ask? We've had a fantastic, almost year-long project come to its final few days - this is also known as "The Install". This is Andrea's favorite time in a project. You get to see yours and the client's vision come to fruition. This is finishing touches, delivering furniture that has been stored or been just finished, hanging drapery, displaying art, accessorizing. This is the big payoff. The client gets giddy; we get giddy; we all get a little bit weepy.
It can also be a mind-boggling challenge to coordinate (as the wonderful (and pregnant) Caro would tell you.) Yesterday we had most of the furniture delivered - Andrea was on her hands and knees dusting the floor, inspecting and adjusting the furniture over and over and over again - I think she may have even washed a window or two. I took a few photos today for you to see the last minute hoop-la that goes on before the client moves in!
