It could be also that you don’t mind the process of ideation and work on shaping your ideas. My wife is like that too - but she wants a second opinion from a professional.
I wonder how you managed your stress levels during this period, coping with your job, home schooling and passion project?
I've done a bunch of remodelling, so I don't find it too stressful. Also I have a background in construction/trades, which probably helps.
I certainly recognize the phrase from a professional -- this is usually quite important to my wife as well. I'm less concerned with it.
What part of your remodel did you find most stressful?
Feigning interest in certain aspects of the decor when I don’t really care haha
I don’t mind visiting various lighting shops with my wife to have a broad base for comparison and select the ones that would fit our house best. But I draw the line at things like switches. My wife got angry with me when I couldn’t passionately discuss with her the merits and demerits of various switch models. Geez, a switch is a switch. I don’t care about the colour or whether it is longer and feels better to press!
You seem like a pro.
How often do you do remodel projects?
Once in a lifetime is enough for me!
Sounds like you got an excellent interior designer!
I recently did a renovation of my bathroom and I didn't end up hiring a designer. I think it probably would have gone smoother had I been working with Stacy, but I wanted to save the sats.
But really, the biggest problem I have working with a designer is effectively conveying to them the idea that's in my head. I usually have pretty strong ideas of what I want to make happen but I often fail at getting them across in words. It may be that I don't actually crystallize the idea until I'm building it.
But you do make the experience of working with a designer sound pretty wonderful. If only we could all have our own Stacy!
