The Economy and design

I know we are all a little worried about the economy. When the market goes up and down 500 points in a day, how can you not be worried. The way I have worked with my interior design clients is that I bill every two weeks and make sure that my retainer is covers the hours worked, so I do not have problems. I also explain to each of my clients and its in bold, that I am not Visa or American Express. I do not extend credit.

My San Diego interior design clients understand this and its very helpful.

don't worry opportunties arise when you least know it.

more opposition to the regulation of the interior deisgn industry

The following below directly from the NKBA about the regulation of being an interior designer

"Remodeling association adds name to list of groups opposing interior design licensing.Kitchen & Bath Design News (10/22) reports, "The National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI) has joined the National Kitchen & Bath Association and other national organizations in opposing 'restrictive and unnecessary' design regulation, the NKBA announced. The announcement comes on the heels of title act legislation being rejected, at least temporarily, in New York and California." Interior designers have been attempting to "regulate who may provide interior design services to the public, and would prohibit a large number of kitchen and bath designers from practicing their profession, according to the Hackettstown, NJ-based NKBA." The two trade groups join "the American Institute of Architects (AIA), Interior Design Society (IDS), and the International Furnishings and Design Association (IFDA), plus many other organizations in the effort to defeat interior design licensing."

I find it interesting about the fight between between the interior design industry and everyone else in this industry. I just try to bring this to your attention from this san diego interior designer

A new website for interior design

I spend a lot of time online looking for cool interior design sites that I could order things for my San Diego Interior Design clients. I found one that I really like it www.homedesignfind.com I think its really useful. I attend a lot of trade shows to find the unique- that is a trademark of mine as a San Diego Interior Designer and its a bit of hide a seek but when you find it, it makes the whole experience worthwide. I really get a kick when the client loves what I picked. So, check out the site and as you can see the contemporary design throughout the site.
