Most of the time, working with an interior designer on a project for your
home is fun, creative and satisfying. I mean, what's not to love about
letting a style guru with access to gorgeous, exclusive products guide you
through fabrics, wallcoverings, lamps and furniture?!
But every now and then your designer might tell you something that's
decidedly un-fun. Maybe they deliver the news that something you planned to
keep is making your home look dated and unappealing. That something you had
your heart set on just isn't going to work. Or that you actually do need to
invest in something you'd hoped to sidestep.
