      <title>Fress Press | Sleek and Modern Bedrooms</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;When Oregon Home magazine asked &lt;a href="http://www.sbairddesign.com/" target="_blank"&gt;SBaird Design &lt;/a&gt;to write an article for the January/ Feb 2008 issue [Design Matters] and to answer the question &amp;lsquo;How does one create a sleek and modern bedroom'? She invited her frequent collaborator, Pamela Hodnefield of &lt;a href="http://www.phdesigners.com/" target="_blank"&gt;PH Design Group&lt;/a&gt; based in Seattle, Washington to work on the article jointly. Below are Shannon and Pam's inspiring answers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://sbairddesign.files.wordpress.com/2008/01/orehome0107.jpg" title="orehome0107.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://sbairddesign.files.wordpress.com/2008/01/orehome0107.jpg" border="0" height="208" alt="orehome0107.jpg" width="158"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://sbairddesign.files.wordpress.com/2008/01/2page.jpg" title="2page.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://sbairddesign.files.wordpress.com/2008/01/2page.jpg" border="0" height="208" alt="2page.jpg" width="256"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Click on image to appear larger.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Hiring a Remodeling Designer | PH Design Group</title>
      <description>&lt;div class="entry"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Try &lt;a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;amp;client=firefox-a&amp;amp;rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&amp;amp;q=remodeling+design&amp;amp;btnG=Search" target="_blank"&gt;googling&lt;/a&gt; remodeling designer and you&amp;rsquo;ll get over 3 million listings&amp;mdash;so many names, so little time.&lt;br&gt;To find a &lt;a href="http://phbaird.com/05/20/hiring-a-remodeling-designer/www.phbaird.com" target="_blank"&gt;remodeling design consultant&lt;/a&gt; who is right for you, you&amp;rsquo;ve got to do your homework. Ask friends, relatives, or your real estate broker &amp;mdash; there&amp;rsquo;s nothing like word-of-mouth from satisfied customers. If you&amp;rsquo;ve moved to a new state and don&amp;rsquo;t know anyone, then study websites of local remodeling designers and set appointments to make personal contact. Do you feel comfortable with the designer? If the rapport between you isn&amp;rsquo;t good, don&amp;rsquo;t expect your newly remodeled home to be either&amp;mdash;go with gut instinct. If the budget for your project seems too good to be true, do NOT do business with him/her&amp;mdash;in the long run you will wind up paying way too much for a substandard job. If you cannot understand your designer/contractor do NOT hire that person. Residential construction can easily be explained. Clear communication and interaction with the designer is crucial. Once your &lt;a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;amp;client=firefox-a&amp;amp;rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&amp;amp;q=seattle+remodeling+design&amp;amp;btnG=Search" target="_blank"&gt;remodel&lt;/a&gt; is under way, the designer will effectively communicate with vendors, installers, contractors and, most importantly, you. Unless you&amp;rsquo;re a designer yourself, you may want to hire one.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Steps:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;1. Take some time to educate yourself and refine your tastes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;2. Research magazines, books, and websites.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;3. Learn as much as you can first. The more you know, the easier the process will be.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;4. Ask for referrals from friends, contractors and craftspeople.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;5. Hire someone you feel comfortable with. You&amp;rsquo;ll be spending time together for the next several months (at least), and not all of it will be fun. Like any relationship, it requires mutual respect.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;6. Be prepared to pay well for a design, from several hundred dollars (for minimal plans and no follow-through) to several thousand dollars, depending on the scope of the project. As with anything else, you often get what you pay for.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;</description>
