I am an interior designer. I decorate and renovate homes. I have not seen the newest power rangers movie. 
I have a kitty named jojo. I am a full time artist.  I have four kids.  My husband is away for work often.
I have an update on the house that I've been renovating! That sounds really good. What happened? Well my client wanted some really complex flooring designs which I managed to pull off for him. It's a mix of polished marble and treated 19th century lumber. He loves it!! That is so great. Where did you manage to find that kind of design? I bet that would be really beautiful. I would love to see the house. It was completely custom, and I worked with some local suppliers for the materials. My client said "cost was no barrier" so I kind of went all out haha. I can take some pics of it before they move back in if you'd like? That would be great if you could do that. I would love to renovate our house but with my husband being gone a lot I just feel that we have no time to do it. How much do you usually charge to do the renovation for someone once they give you a budget? Well I'd sit down with you and go over the rooms you'd like to renovate and exactly what you'd like to do. Price really differs based on the scenario. What are you looking to do? I would love to redo our kitchen, as I love to cook. It is just too small for our family and I enjoy letting our kids cook as well. Just need more space in there and in our living room. I would love to knock a couple walls down and have an open kitchen/living room plan. Oh nice OK. Yeah so for a full kitchen built-out and taking down some walls I'd say you'd be looking at $20K-$30K minimum. We'd also need to make sure those walls aren't load-bearing. If you'd like I can come by with my contractor sometime this week or weekend and take a look. I can probably give you a more accurate quote too  I would love if you could do that. I would love for it to be a surprise for my husband when he comes back from working out of town. He is a contractor for a big company and is usually gone quite a bit. Besides interior design do you have any other talents? Awesome, that's a great idea! We'll make it look awesome, I promise. Honestly designing and decorating is my life, and that has spilled over into other hobbies like painting..but I'm sure I'm not as good as you! That is so true. He is not a very good painter. I love everything about painting and art in general. I usually sell my artwork at a local art gallery when it is all done.
