Lately, interior design work has been keeping me quite busy. A theme has been developing among the homeowners who call me in for their Interior Design Room Consultations. Most homeowners are looking to simply their lives and create a more harmonious home environment while spending the least amount of money possible. The goal of the designs are to make the rooms more livable, but also to have them stand out.
Since budget is such a huge part of any interior design project (or any project for that matter) I wanted to share with you a website that really helps break down the cost of various projects - from replacing a lock, renovating a bathroom, to the addition of an entire attic bedroom (one of the top renovations in the 2009-10 Cost vs. Value Report just released).

Having a rough cost estimate before you arrive at your client's home is invaluable and will only make your company stand out among the competition. Good luck with your design projects!
