Homepolish skips commissions and product markups and instead charges customers a flat fee for a one-hour consultation at the client's home.

Junior designers cost $50 and senior designers cost $80 for the one-hour consultation. If customers choose to move forward, they continue working with their designer for an hourly fee. The rate for junior designers is $100/hour and senior designers are $130/hour. Both require a minimum of five hours.

During the segment, panelist Ryan Serhant asked how the founders planned to incentivize talented designers with the Homepolish model while the rest of the market makes the majority of its income on markups.

"Homepolish gives emerging designers a platform and a way to really get their name out there. For the more established designers, for our price points and charging an hourly rate, it actually is competitive in the market," Santos responded.

The start-up has 20 employees in house and clients work with more than 130 designers nationwide, including its co-founder and trained interior designer, Santos.

The International Interior Design Association New York chapter (IIDA NY) has appointed Rebecca Dorris Steiger, IIDA, LEED AP, as its president. Steiger, a senior interior designer and associate at Gensler, has been an IIDA member for more than 14 years. She succeeds Steven South, IIDA, LEED AP, a senior interior designer and associate with Perkins+Will.

While living in San Francisco, Steiger served as vice president of membership and vice president of communications for the Northern California chapter. The native New Yorker returned home in 2005, joining the IIDA New York chapter and acting as its vice president of communications since 2006.

We look for someone who is a strong leader, someone who can represent the organization well, and who is able to move the organization forward, South said in a statement. With years of experience on the board, she comes to this role with a great depth of experience and knowledge of IIDA. Rebecca will be a great spokesperson for the chapter.

The newly inaugurated president is asked to create a theme each year. Steiger has selected a focus of Membership at All Levels, seeking to develop a program for designers with eight to 15 years of experience to help them continue to grow as professionals, and as leaders within their own firms and community, she said in a statement. A holistic focus on professional development will help strengthen the value that our chapter brings to the New York design community, not only in New York City, but also in our Buffalo and Rochester city centers and our new RIT Campus Center.

In creating himself a tropical getaway in the Bahamas, interior designer Tom Scheerer overhauled a pair of dilapidated structures; a nunnery that he convert into his main house, and an 1800s cottage that became his guest house. The latter is known as the Cash Box, as it used to be the home of Mary Cash, who Remodelista describes as one of the "matriarchs" of Harbour Island, a designer-studded locale where the prominent mode of transportation is the golf cart and one's neighbors include the likes of Bill Gates and Diane von Furstenberg. Remodelista describes Scheerer's approach to remodels as akin to a preservationist's, and given the his original training as an architect at Cooper Union, it comes as no surprise that he opted to highlight historic features rather than gut-renovate them.

Scheerer, who was once described in T Magazine as "interior design's most humble and nuanced talent of authentic blue-blood gentility," rolled back the Cash Box's 1940s modernization by revealing its coral stone hearth and "keeping the mod consstove and fridgeout of sight." He also covered the cement floor in Cuban tiles, which he chose because they're found in "most of the oldest houses" in the area.

Scheerer picked the attic (pictured above) for his "master suite," painting over the rough pine floor with "many, many coats of shiny white" that help it bounce light around the room. According to Mimi Read, the author of Tom Scheerer Decorates, the seafoam green walls are "a nod to a Harbour Island old wives' tale about the wasp-repellent properties of the color green." She also notes that Scheerer's practical streak is the key to his remodeling projects: "'Don't make too much trouble for yourself' is one of his mottos. 'Live life now, rather than after a torturous renovation.'"

Designer Digs: Step Into Tom Scheerer's Converted Bahamas Convent

Last spring, Toronto-based architect and interior designer Dee Dee Taylor Eustace had an epiphany: At age 50, it was time for a life change.

And that meant moving to New York City.

Eustace a Canadian TV regular who has hosted a pair of HGTV shows and also appeared as a guest on Oprah began the hunt for the perfect Manhattan live-work space last summer.

After looking at 10 apartments in one day with Sothebys agent Brigitte Goldenberg, Eustace found her Manhattan dream rental: A two-bedroom, two-bathroom, 2,000-square-foot duplex set in a charming, 1894 brownstone on tree-lined East 80th Street.

The sun-filled home once gallerist Dominique Levys live-work space immediately caught Eustaces eye, thanks to its sprawling south-facing living room with bay windows.

I walked in here, she says of the apartment, which occupies the entire third floor and half of the fourth floor, and I saw the 11- foot ceilings, three fireplaces, the bedroom upstairs and the courtyard in the back. I saw it for five minutes, and I said, OK! Ill take it! Architecturally, it was one the most interesting homes I saw.

New to the Manhattan real estate scene, Eustace admits, I had no idea how real estate works here. I paid a year of rent in advance!

At approximately $15,000 a month, that was a sizeable check to cut. But it was worth it, and in August 2013, she moved in.

The building also met one of the doting mothers most important criteria: Proximity to the Hewitt School on East 75th Street, where she enrolled her daughter, Rachael, then 13, in the ninth grade (her son Jake remains in Canada for university).

The one thing I said, was that I want to walk my daughter to school every day, says Eustace.
