I hope she goes with your plan.
A few years back, my younger sister and brother in law were going to remodel their kitchen. They asked my other sister to come take measurements and design a new kitchen for them. She’s an interior designer and her husband is an architect. They have a business together, and live a few hours’ drive from my younger sister.
They worked on ideas for a month or more in their spare time. Gave them several options. Even though my little sister liked the plans, my BIL is always certain to get his way, and didn’t use ANY of the ideas they worked on. Lesson learned. Charge family some fee of one kind or another so that they have skin in the game, too.
Thanks for the advice. I’m just making suggestions; no billable hours or blueprints. ;) SHE will make the decisions herself. She is a Cardiac Surgical Nurse; it’s her way or the highway...I KNOW that going in. ;)
Have my camera and notebook to take tomorrow when we visit. I’m actually MORE excited to see her new baby girl born in December...and the house now that it’s finally finished. I’m sure EVERY detail is perfection. You WANT that ‘attention to detail’ in a Cardiac Surgical Nurse - don’t you? LOL! :)
