$100
I just moved and I have a whole new house that needs to be decorated. I had a lot of companies coming to look at the house for a decorating job for 3 days in a row. I still know that I need help and I am going to keep searching until I find the right person with whom I can build a relationship with. I know that I have a lot of work that needs to be done at this house. She had great ideas and her portfolio was awesome. She was too expensive for me at $100 an hour for just a paid consultation.
Response from Get Back JoJo
"I really enjoyed Member and her family . Their new home is beautiful. If I may clarify: Based on the scope of work presented to me for Amy's home, I came up with several different ways to make the project more economical for The Family. Since the Member had many ideas of her own and would like the option of doing some of the design work and purchasing herself I suggested an hourly fee of $100 per hour. My basic rate is $150 but since she lives close by my studio I offered to lower the price per hour of my normal hourly rate. I also offered Amy the option of a 20 hour package at the rate of $50 per hour. For $100 Amy recieved a 1 hour in home consultation as well as a 1 hour paint consultaion. Thus she received 2 hours of documented design time with me as well as unaccounted for time on the phone and email. I appreciate and accept her feedback and it really was a pleasure to have the opportunity to meet with Amy and her family."
