Yes indeed!!! So many of these would need very minimal changes -- BUT seeing these photos makes me realize "What Goes Around -- Comes Around" again!!!! :) Wonder if any number of today's young groovy designers own this book? Hmmmmmmm ...... Thanks for another wonderful posting!!! :)

what kind of help did you need?

There's basically three designations that are recognized: architects, interior designers, and interior decorators. To be a licensed architect you need either a Master's degree, or a 5-year bachelors of architecture degree, plus X number of years of work experience, plus passing the licensing exam. In all, this can take anywhere from 5 to 7 years after graduation to become licensed depending on whether you have a masters or a bachelors. Most architects do both building envelope and interior configuration. But they may not always specify interior finishes. An interior designer generally has a bachelors, plus 40 to 60+ additional credit hours in an accredited program. To be certified you also have to take an exam, but it's not nearly as rigorous. A CID can work on interior reconfiguration, spec finishes, and stamp their own drawings IF there are no structural changes. If there are, either a structural engineer or an architect provides supplemental drawings for permitting. Interior decorators fill the spaces; they don't create/configure the spaces. No education is required for this and if they are involved in remodeling, they generally outsource construction docs. So, when I was in design school, I too was told there's no such thing as "Interior Architecture". You're either an architect who does interiors or you're a designer. As far as I know, there is no government recognition of "interior architect" or a separate license/certification. To confuse you further, many people who have gone to architecture school never take the exam to be licensed. In those cases, they are "architectural designers" and often work at architecture firms where someone who is licensed can sign off on their work. There are indeed real differences. Someone passing themselves off as an architect without the training or experience is overselling their capabilities. But not all projects require an architect. A kitchen or bath remodel, for example, can be comfortably handled by any reputable, certified designer.

There are some but to be honest I would never work on line with a client. Seeing a space in real life is IMO the only way to do the job. If online is what you want why not just pick everybody’s brain here fpr free.
