Think of all the ways you wish to improve your property. Any stretches or bumps should take first priority. Any interior structural changes next. Make a list or spreadsheet of your wants and needs and prioritize that. The designer will walk you through many homes so that you can see flooring, fixtures, lighting, doors, hardware, cabinets, colors, etc. This is so helpful as you get to see the entire picture and not just a small sample. Make a list of questions you may have. We sat down at a big table and went completely through my list (it was a 2 page spreadsheet) while my designer made copious notes. Basically nothing was left unanswered and I felt it to be thorough and unrushed. Also ask for suggestions as they have been doing this quite a while and are there to listen and help you through the process! I did not find it stressful, and in retrospect I may have missed one or two things, but these are easily taken care of aftermarket. Best of luck to you and don't stress!

Thank you very much! Nancy
