#28: Finds for My Most Difficult Client (Me)

Checking in on my most toxic client relationship.
She’s late on feedback, emotionally attached to every option, and keeps changing her mind.
These are the tabs that survived.

Today’s Open Tabs

She wants a J. Hannah lamp. But like… not. ($350)

She called me last week asking how to host a 16-person dinner in her 900 sq ft house. ($435)

She doesn’t want to spend more than $100 though. ($129)

She sent me the Le Corbusier Cassina Apple Box while also wanting to spend no money but somehow live inside the world’s greatest estate sale. ($1,155)

So I find her this incredible Etsy piece — handmade, solid cherry, real craftsmanship. ($560)

This $50 Amazon find is the one that finally shut her up. She ordered two. ($60)

The three-year search for a living room light continues. ($239)

Doesn’t look like it’s ending anytime soon, even with this stunning one-of-a-kind piece. ($690)

She said she wants a Noguchi. But not a Noguchi. So I sent her this. ($284)

At 2AM she has me looking for a flush mount that’s still a statement. Didn’t think that was possible. Turns out it is. ($681)

Which also exists as one of the most darling lamps I’ve ever seen. ($276)

Or this perfect little old-school guy. ($98)

Then she says she wants a lamp Alvar or Aino Aalto would have owned but not by the Aaltos. ($695)

She wants the perfect sconce nobody has ever seen before. ($151)

Then decides she wants a pair. ($133)

So naturally, I give her two sconce pair options($325)
