Start Here ⬇️ Thank you for joining our community- I'm SO excited you're here! To access the Training Course(s), you'll find the "Classroom" tab at the top of the page, then you'll see the course(s) you have access to. This is where you'll find the pre-recorded video modules + templates for you to consume whenever you please! If you have questions, I want you to post them in the General Discussion Community, so that as a community we can answer them in the public forum. More than likely someone else in the group is having a similar issue but is too afraid to ask. Don't be shy or embarrassed to ask your questions no matter how small it may seem. Skool is a great platform that allows you to communicate with me, with the other students and to search past discussions for answers as we grow this community. Skool also has a mobile app that you can install on your phone in the app store- make sure you download that so you can watch our content on the go or interact with the community! OK, let's start this group off strong. Please make an introduction! 🥰

I'm in the process of hopefully locking in my first client (!!). This group has been a fantastic resource in helping me get started, so MAJOR thank you! The potential client has asked me to provide mood boards, floor plans/layouts, and source all furniture for 4 rooms in her new vacation home (living room, 3 small bedrooms starting from scratch). She wants to have the basics installed by Christmas (doesn't have to be everything by then just at least beds, couch and a table for them to be comfortable for a few days while they are visiting). She does not seem too particular and I do not anticipate many revisions. She gave me access to the house since they aren't local, so thinking I can just get shipments directly to the site vs using warehousing to save on expenses. I think some services like Wayfair Professional do bulk in-home deliveries? Maybe Designer Inc or Sidedoor? Not sure if they allow for in-home deliveries or only delivery to warehouse. Any insight here would be helpful. No 3D renders required, however I might outsource one for the living room space. I am currently charging hourly to start out and thinking this could be a project estimate of 20-25-hours? Thoughts? THANK YOU!

Hi Emilee and design community! Important question that I truly do not know (I am just starting out). I have a potential client who wants me to furnish a few rooms of her vacation home by Christmas (they want to spend Christmas there). Nothing extravagant or custom, basically the essentials couch, beds, etc. Is that timeline even feasible with in stock shipping times? If we have all product decisions and orders placed by 11/22 would it be possible to install 4 weeks later?

Question: how do I know how much a kitchen remodel would cost a client? I can find the materials and design it, but I have no idea in the end what it’ll cost. How do I design something beautiful and high end looking while sticking to their budget.

If a potential client lives far away, is there anyway to do the consult and measure meeting in one shot? Or in that case would you do the consult on a zoom call and arrange a measure meeting once they sign up?
