Cutting a rug pad! Or better yet having to pay someone to cut a rug pad…..even scarier, someone forgot the scissors.

When they change the FF&E and don’t tell you or keep you updated on wtf they did thinking they’ll do it better than you.

Being told at 80–90% completion that the budget is exhausted and the client is perfectly fine sacrificing the art, accessories, and finishing touches. Not realizing, or perhaps not caring, that those are the very elements that bring the entire project together. After spending months pouring my heart and soul into every detail, there’s nothing more frustrating than watching a vision fall short at the very moment it's supposed to come together 🤯
