When I have friends over to my home, I know they are taking it all in and seeing it as a showcase of my talent. I purchased my home furnished many years ago and it was all peach and black laquer. I could not afford to redecorate all at once so I often made a disclaimer as soon as peopel walked in the room! You website is really great. Those Vitruvit Sinks are something else! http://cft411.com/2010/01/21/vitruvit-sinks/ Lorrie Hi Joe,

I write blogs, do some woodworking, am looking to start a picture framing business, already own a home that suits me, live in a city I love with a wife I adore. I’m not going anywhere. But. This lady wanted to move to a different city and use her home for a showplace for her interior decorating skills. Different story altogether. One of the thoughts I have had is that the remodeling I have been doing on our home over the years might one day turn into a cabinetmaking business. If so, I would use my own home for a showplace. “Here’s my kitchen, my bathrooms, my home theater, etc.” And to the extent that I can simply show people around the house and impress them (if I can!), I can then expect a fair amount of business. This lady means to do the same, and on that basis, her decision makes every bit of sense to me. But even if it made no sense at all to me, it makes sense to her, and she’s the one who has to live with that decision.
