Hi ladies.

I'm looking for an interior decorator, someone reliable and not too expensive. I'm wanting help with my daughter's room and if all goes well I would like to do the whole house little by little. I know what I want but don't know how to go about it. Also would like some suggestions for remodeling contractors. We plan on starting in our small bathroom and if all goes well more of the house.

If you've worked with someone or happen to be a decorator and are looking for work let me know.

So What Happened?

I'm in the Muncie, Indiana area and as of right, I'm not hiring right now( my husband got hit by that huge lay off spree in December), but the help and suggestions will be remembered. The decorating is hopefully planned for August (my daughter's 3rd birthday gift). I never had a properly decorated room so I want my daughter to have one with the works. The bathroom remodel might be some time this summer as well.

Thank for all the suggestions!

Hello D. ! Where do you live? May I suggest to you a contractor whom I have worked with for over 15 years? I sell real estate for a living and he is the most responsible and the most dependable contractor I have worked with for years. He stays within budget. But most importnant he passes every inspection. We, as Realtors, normally have the contractors work inspected by a licensed home inspector before we close the transaction so the new buyers are protected. His name is Dave Zech of DZ Construction. ###-###-#### or his e-mail ____@____.com. Please let me know how it goes for you. Remodeling can be overwhelming! Glad to see you are investing in a bathroom. Kitchens and baths have the best return on your dollar for resale. Good luck. D. Wilson ____@____.com Thanks Bunches

Hi D.,
I don't know about a decorator but I do know a contractor. He's my husband but I wouldn't refer him if he didn't do good work.
He's hands on for all phases and has been in business for many years. His customers range from a former HomeARama home owner to the 2nd in command of a major homebuilder. He also does work for the realtors in my office.
He's fair priced and honest.
Call Greg G. - G. Construction - ###-###-####.

hi, D.. sorry to hear about your husband's layoff. these are scary economic times; i hope he finds something soon.

when you are ready to move forward with your projects, i thought you might be interested in a friend of mine, mary gilbert. she's a design coach and we used her to help us rearrange our living room. (sounds silly, but i had no ideas.)

anyway, not sure where muncie is; she's here in cincinnati with me. but feel free to check out her web site to see what she does. it's fun and enlightening, and very affordable b/c you decide how involved you want her to be. :)
