I'm wondering how much would be  reasonable to pay  someone on the next job  for picking out flooring cabinets  and all of the Interior items  including paint colors excetera .  

(check comps, expectations for area first, i'm up north snow area....)bathrooms, get rid of anything gold. chrome/brushed steel/nickel... maybe modern but you want serene/calm/spa. choose paint color wise.kitchen: there seems to be a mix of black can painted plastic and metal pulls. how are the cabinets?

The only colors I ever spend for is the semi gloss trim and the ceilings white.
