Interior Designer recommendations

[Mike B.]

So I am in the middle of purchasing a house that has not been updated since it was built in 1994. This will be my personal private residence, but I am also using the occasion of the full renovation as a test run for my future BRRRR investments. I have some GC recommendations (and will always take some more if you feel so inclined), but what I personally lack is the ability to design well...I am a man after all. I would like to get this one right since I will be living in the home, so does anyone have any good recommendations for someone who can help me tastefully design the new kitchen, baths, and home in general? Much appreciated.

What type of work are you looking to have done? Specing construction materials, furnishing and accessories?

[Mike B.]

Construction finishes and possibly some layout design.  I am also considering furnishings/accessories as I will be furnishing from scratch.

I thought I knew someone in your area but I don't think they are practicing anymore. If you would like I do work remotely. If not I understand. I do recommend that you find someone who regularly does both material specing and furnishings/accessories. I do both but not all designers do that type of work. They might not be familiar with the sources and product you are looking to use along with value engineering the job without having to re-source the design which can cost you more. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask!

Thank you Christina, I appreciate the reply!
