What is the meaning of "decorator" and "got up in"? The following text is an excerpt from "Wifey Redux" by Kevin Barry: > I sighed and left the den. The way it worked, Ellie had the use of the sitting room down back of the ground floor; no teenager wants to sit with her parents. She’d had a decorator in – it was got up in like a purple-and-black scheme – and she had a really fabulous Eames couch we’d got at auction for her sixteenth, and I went down there to check on Aodhan and herself. How to understand the word "decorator" and "got up in"? According to the word "like", I presume there is some resemblance between the decorator and the scheme, but fail to see the connection.

These are all idiomatic expressions.

Decorator = a painter, or perhaps an "interior decorator", an advisor in aesthetics of home decoration.

Got up ... in = "the results [of the painting or of acting on the decorators advice] were as follows". The "in" here is the same as that of "The lady in red", perhaps an extension of the original sense of "clothed in".

like = "as, in my opinion" or just plain "as".

A partial paraphrase: "I'm like, whoah, it was all in black and purple!" Or more literally, Rand al'Thor's "it was decorated in, like, a purple and black design".
