My girlfriend designed almost all the furniture in our house (she's not a professional designer), and I think it's far better than if we bought something ready (we live in odd-shaped small house).
The cost were approximately the same as buying form IKEA. It was now, I would try to build build some of the furniture myself. A couple of years ago we got a local woodworker do it. Decent price, furniture built especially for our home, my girl happy to see her own ideas live, the local woodworker making some money - it was win for everyone.

I wonder if you check back with this woodworker to see if s/he is still in business and can match the prices. in my experience, you can't even buy the raw materials for the same cost that Ikea can put out a finished product. [though ikea's prices are getting higher and the material quality is getting worse on the majority of their wood products.]
