One of the first conversations I have with a client during an interior design project is about investment. And I know it is not always everyone’s favorite question.

Sometimes clients hesitate. Sometimes they genuinely do not know what their project should cost. And sometimes I think there is a little fear that if they give me a number, I am automatically going to find a way to spend every penny of it.

That is not why I am asking.

I cannot tell you how many times I have walked into a client’s home for the first time and one of the very first things they say is, “Please excuse the mess.”

And my response is almost always the same. “Please don’t apologize. I actually want to see how you live.”

Because the truth is, I am not walking into your home looking for everything that is wrong. I am not judging the pile of shoes by the door, the toys that have somehow made their way into every room of the house, or the laundry that may or may not be folded somewhere nearby. And honestly, if you have kids, pets, and a busy schedule, I would be more surprised if those things weren’t there.

What I am looking for is information.
