Reviews of Lila Friday & Associates (Interior Designer)

J Campbell

Lila Friday came out to my house a couple years ago. I was in the middle of a construction project and had a bad experience with a contractor who I fired after finding out he was committing fraud. I invited her to my home, showed her my project and what I had in mind. Lila didn't like the fact that I had my own ideas and a direction. She wanted all the control to do what she wanted. A reminder to anyone who's about to do a project, work with someone who works for you and cares about your ideas. Its not her home, its yours!!! She then said to me that she would charge $50,000 take on my project but, she didn't want it. She then told me that I was over my head. Honestly I didn't say anything to her at the time, I was in shock and offended. Well... It has taken me a while but, I was not over my head and the project has turned out beautiful. I would not say it was easy but, my vision has come to life and far exceeded my expectations. I don't appreciate Lila coming into my home and telling me I'm over my head as well as her fee would be $50,000. Get real.... Trust me.. I have hired a couple designers along the way and they embraced my ideas and helped me with the flow of my project. I have paid probably around $1000 total and bought my cabinets from the designer. Reminder!!! Your can get a lot of help and direction if you buy cabinets, etc from the designer. I was not overcharged for the cabinets either. Good quality!! You don't need a over priced designer to get the job done. My father has always said... I don't mind if you get RICH but, Don't Get Rich on Me!!!! I am sorry its taken me so long to get the word out. Its wonderdul that we can share our experiences so the next person knows the truth!!! Next time she treats someone like this maybe she'll rethink her attitude!
