Editor's Notes
- Need a tile selected by tomorrow!
- Don’t Have Time to Think about It. Feel Like a Designer will Make it Spectacular The Designer gets Discounts at Places and Share the Discounts with Me. Don’t Care very Much about how it Looks but it needs to be done to be Attractive for Guests/Buyers. A Designer will Push me out of my Comfort Zone and that’s a Good Thing. Don’t want to do all the Leg Work. The Designer’s expertise will prevent me from making a Big, Costly Mistake. The Designer’s Industry Knowledge will give me a tailor-made solution for my Needs & Particular Taste.
