But in general, they are the instagram, Pinterest crowd who think they are all that lol. Even in building townhomes for developers they’d hire these people that would do the most basic bitch staging and decorating possible and then walk around site with their noses up in the air like they were all that lol

Crazy.. dried flowers in wine bottles? You’re wild!

That sounds more like an interior decorator and not an interior designer. My house was done by a designer and the attention to detail shows up how the house has been kitted out. She was clearly working to a budget but she knew enough to spec out certain items at a higher grade b/c it makes a diff. Her work came with the house so I didn't have to pay for it but it was quality work.

Same goes for the designer I did hire who helped me build out our rental suites - the bill for her work came out to about 10% of the total project and it was money well spent. Much more usable space and things fit right and look and work well.
