I am fascinated by some of the discussions here as they are a bigger sample of what I experience in my own business. My job is always to collaborate with my client, but also push them gently in new directions when needed. Its really a dance.

I have a few clients whom have been kind enough to call me back for multiple renovations or new designs when they change properties or just get tired of the old. Some have several properties in different places. One thing that seems to cause a little tension is when a client had a successful design in one home and wants to transplant that into a new home. They loved it in their old space and just want to take it with them to the new. That doesn't always work for a variety of reasons.

I have others who want to start from scratch and do something entirely different in every space. Some even get a little wild with ideas or decor themes. That is more liberating from my perspective but can also have some hiccups attached.

So for those who have done more than one remodel, do you find yourself gravitating towards the same choices for colors, decor styles, finishes, hardware etc that worked for you in the past? Or are you a "throw it all out! Let's do something totally different this time!" kind of person?
