What do you do when you find yourself with clients who want you to provide everything on their wish list for a fixed amount? They have a budget in mind, and it seems reasonable to them that you should be able to stretch their budget to include everything. Hmmmmm. Let’s hear how Kimberley solved this issue on a recent project.   

In this episode we learn:
- clients are not expert in running design projects, you are
- tell them how to spend their money in a satisfying way
- remind them how indecision costs them money
- forget the kids’ rooms, take care of mom and dad first
- the budget and the wish list never match
