In this solo episode, I review a previous client project to share CLAIRE-ITY. These Burlington clients were busy working professionals with 2 young children. They were fabulous to work with and were interested in having me put everything together for their quaint sitting room.
Although the project went very well overall, the biggest lesson I learned was that it’s okay (in certain situations only!) to bend your processes a little, as needed. You have to go with your gut and look at the whole picture, to determine when this is okay. No ‘red flags’ here, just a great opportunity. Listen to the podcast to hear more!

This is the first episode in my new series called ‘A client’s perspective’ and I’m interviewing Tara, a lovely past client whom I worked within 2016. Stacy can you write something here - this podcast focuses on why Tara sought out my services, where she looked in her search for a designer, the reason she hired me specifically, and what she thought of my initial consultation meeting and processes.

The Top 5 posts from my private Facebook group for interior designers, Interior Design Business Strategies. These are the hottest topics, these are the posts that received the most engagement from the group in one month.
Topics include: An inappropriate photo received by a designer from a prospective client; setting realistic budget expectations from one of my live WIDWIL videos; creating a solution for promotional posts in my private Facebook group; the importance of recognizing your strengths and weaknesses and where to buy affordable and classy business clothing for summer
In this solo episode, I review a previous client project to share CLAIRE-ITY. These Burlington clients were busy working professionals with 2 young children. They were fabulous to work with and did not have the time or energy to take on a custom living room redesign project on their own. They told me that they did not know where to start and the idea of doing this on their own was very overwhelming for them both.
Although the project went very well overall and it was beautiful to photograph for my portfolio, there were some key takeaways that I learned and I am sharing here with you in this podcast episode. Offering reassurance and following up with clients after a project is completed, are two of the key lessons I learned. Listen to the podcast to hear more!
Plus, see links below to my new Pricing Guides that I mention on the show, as these can help you to set realistic budgets for a project and easily manage your client’s expectations.

Running an Interior Design business isn’t easy, but nothing worth having ever is. The best way to learn how to run a successful interior design business is to learn from others’ experiences. In TNT The Naked Truth podcast, I do just that.
In my ‘Real Client Project’ Episodes, I share details of real client projects. I review how the client came to find me, what my fees were for the interior design initial consultation and for interior decorating services. You will also hear specific details of the project including what happened during the process with trades, purchasing products, presenting design plans, and the overall working relationship between everyone involved.
In this Real Client Project episode, I am sharing details of my very first custom decorating project! What went well? What did I charge the client? Why did the project go over budget? What didn’t the client like about the trades? How did I deal with the ‘Bully in the Room’? For Dynamite Claire-ity, take a listen to hear all the details. Cheers!
