Try calling the Photographer or author of the piece and ask the owners name.Then call the owner and discuss the prices paid for interior and exterior decorating (and the year paid-inflation) as well as interior designer(s) used or Architects used to achieve the look.That should shortcut your budgeting process a little bit.
