Jay,

I didn't use them, but my wife and I are really into Interior Design, so naturally we know about the PDC. It's very well known nationally and every interior designer in the area would have a connection to it in some way.

Just a great place to start your exploration.

And someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but there are two types of designers...

Interior Designers
Educated in design concept and production. Often work in architectural firms or with them. Used in higher end design that isn't just "what bowl would look good on this table". Look at the big picture instead of just room by room. This is who I would seek out if you want a really nice interior space.

Interior Decorators
aka "Martha Stewart" type people. They spend alot of time looking at magazines to try and copy what others have already done. Not necessarily educated. Cheaper and dirty solution to "spruce the place up". Often what you see running around on those HGTV cookie-cutter shows. There are some high end ones, but for the most part, dime a dozen.
