When working with a designer, keep in mind the following:

• Contrary to TV, where designers admonish clients for questioning their plans, real-life designers understand that you’re the
person who ultimately needs to love the space. They want you to be happy and want you to give your input so you’re absolutely
thrilled with the results.

• Cut out pictures from magazines that best match the design style you would like to see in your home. A designer works best
when you can show them what your ideal kitchen looks like.

• Keep an open mind when receiving suggestions from your designer. Communicate how you want to live in the space, and then
trust the designer to make it happen.

After all, you hired this person for their experience, talent and vision!
