    Can anyone recommend a good interior designer in LA?

    I just got the keys to this place.
    http://www.edenhillhouse.com

    I have a little bit of furniture I am going to keep from my old place, but I am pretty much going to start from scratch. I need help with mostly space planning, furniture selection and some decorating. I have no clue about even how to get started looking for someone like this.

    Can anyone help me out?

      My girlfriend is an interior designer. She's not in LA but she's fucking awesome! She just moved into my house. We pretty much finished it anyway but she has "big plans" for the house

              How far are you from Kimmy Kim? She'll help you out - and possibly get you some good deals on furniture too

                  Get a wife to pop out some kids and they will decorate it for you lol. More expensive but more rewarding.

                      i can shower the walls with cum for you if you like, it isn't the most pleasant smell, but it definitely gives the place a nice pearly color

                                  Hey Peaches, where have you been hiding?

                                  It is true, I was an interior designer before there was an internet, and actually had one of the first three furniture stores online... way before it's time though, porn paid better in the late 90s so I canned the furniture and stuck with adult.

                                      Right now in a house having the interior painted that would make a decorator (or anyone, really) just say "OMG".

                                      My interior designer SIL has completely given up on me. But I like bright colors

                                      You should come and visit - bring the kid and bf. GA misses you!

                                          Funny, my girlfriend is giving up the porn to do the Interior Designing... How times have changed eh? There's a lot of money to be made in that line of business nowadays...

                                              Jay,

                                              Here is what you need to do. Have you been to the Pacific Design Center yet? It's the best in the country and right in West Hollywood. There are thousands of things to see and they'll help you find a designer. Here is the site:
                                              http://www.thepacificdesigncenter.com/

                                              more info about their referral service:
                                              http://www.thepacificdesigncenter.co...gnservices.htm

                                              Go through a ton of portfolios to find just the style of designer you want.

                                              good luck!

                                                  i thought about that but actually enjoyed taking my time over 2 years and getting all the right stuff for my house.

                                                      Ooooh - that's the place on Top Designer (or whatever it's called). I could go crazy in a place like that

                                                      But I have so much crap crammed into my tiny house that my painter has put everything in the center of the rooms and still can barely reach the walls

                                                              Very Good suggestion Marc! The Pacific Design Center is world renowned and has a lot of amazing (and expensive) pieces. The center is even being featured on the Bravo Tv Show Top Design. Plus, the general public rarely has access to the PDC so getting an interior designer gets you in!

IMO, you get much more satisfying results that way. I recommend watching some HGTV shows (Designed to Sell, Divine Design, Freestyle, Designer's Challenge, Design on a Dime--just to name a few!) to see if you're at all interested in that sort of thing! It's very fufulling! You can always hire people to do the grunt work if that's not your thing (i.e. painting, tiling, etc.).

                                                                                              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...

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.

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.
