I can probably google some of these questions, but there ain't nuthin' like good ol' 'boots-on-the-ground' DU feedback.
Miz t. is a FANTASTIC dinner table/party decorator. Just take that as a given. Friends coming over for dinner have brought their cameras to take pictures of the table. In our house, Christmas looks like Disney's Christmas World. Not OVER done, but just bleeding MAGICAL? Mardi Gras looks like Bourbon Street.
One Sunday she turned the great room (we don't have a 'living room'. Just a BIG living/dining/den/whatever central 'space'.) into an Italian trattoria. We borrowed the small, round 'bistro' tables from a friend who has a restaurant which is closed on Sunday. I (and some VERY good friends) hauled them and the chairs in, after closing, on Saturday night, and had them back in time for Monday lunch. whew
I think she (and me as assistant) should go into the 'bidness'. Do it for money for private dinner parties, company functions, etc. For 'so much $$$' (per hour?) we'll come in and decorate for your function.
Any experience with anything like this? Fees? Pitfalls?
We are retired. I'm 65, she is 62. Obviously, if we were to become successful, I guess income level for S/S taxes and income tax exemptions wouldn't be much of a problem?
I understand that many of us are not faced with the 'problem' of decorating for social events. But if you are...what would you pay to have, as they say, 'a person to take care of that for you'? And businesses. That would probably be the prime market :shrug:
