Their new dream home is quirky, dated, tired. The golf course view has been obscured for decades.
Their tiny swimming pool & backyard are my destination today.

These are exciting times.

Ironically, did a backyard Saturday. Premier golf course views in a gated community. Their deadline is a PGA tournament this spring. Stone terraces on 2 levels. Moonlighting. Furnishings. I'm not worried about the stone terraces, but I was clear about the furnishings, "get out of your comfort zone, scare yourselves." If they get piddling furnishings they cheapen their entire view. And, harm my reputation.
.
Of course I went further, 'when you bought your home you entered a new chapter in your life.' That is how seriously amazing their golf/lake/woodland views are.

I want to visit this tiny swimming pool.
"Furnishings...get out of your comfort zones...", "get piddling furnishings...harm my reputation..."
Well-put, backing up why I should have declined (--%) of folks who say they want me to design their spaces, who will then go cheap or do the ugly norm, ruining their space, not just my rep. I rejected one just today!
Thanks so much for this today; "Providence" knew I needed it, even more than I already know.
Google ate my comment again! and I am signed in! Trying again!
Great post and so true! When clients are "interviewing me; I am interviewing them!
If we are not on the same page; I am "just too busy"!
And it isn't about money; it's about taste! And it does wreck your reputation!!!
David you did the right thing!
ps I keep forgetting to tell you I LOVE your new frontispiece picture!!!
I love it that you love your work so much.
