What decorative painter Julie Stonehouse wishes Interior Designers knew…
<p><strong>If you’re an interior designer and have never worked with a decorative painter before, you might feel intimidated and unsure about the process, and you probably don’t want to experiment on your clients. </strong></p>
<p>Since a lack of experience should never keep you from having the best tools in your toolbox, I went to the source and asked artist Julie Stonehouse what <em>she</em> wishes interior designers knew about working with a decorative artist.</p>

<p>TL/DR:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Decorative finishers are not mind readers. </strong>For best results, projects should start with a mood board. Just like we need our homeowners to <em>show</em> us what they mean by “mid-century,” “traditional,” or “purple,” decorative finishers need to <em>us</em> show them <em>our</em> inspo!</li>
<li><strong>There are no set rules for who pays the decorative finisher. </strong>Make sure to establish <em>your</em> expectations up front about mark-ups, who’ll be paying, and who’s interfacing with the client.</li>
