Discovery Call: Every great design story begins with a conversation. We will discuss your vision, understanding not just the aesthetics and functionality, but the ambiance and essence you want to infuse into your space. You’ll receive our Investment Guide with pricing after this call.
On-Site Meet & Greet: If we seem like a good fit, we will schedule an on-site meeting. We’ll be there to listen to your needs and design challenges and provide more information about how we work.
The Follow-Up: Get back in touch with us when you are ready to retain us to work on your project, we’ll answer any lingering questions, confirm the scope, and draft your contract.
Site Survey: We will schedule a site survey and design meeting to guide our creative process. During that meeting, we will sign your contract, take payment on our retainer fee, and take “before” photos.
Design Development: Our team curates mood boards, sketches, and floorplans, weaving in elements that epitomize luxury, elegance, and your personal style. Every piece, every shade, every texture is handpicked for you.
Custom Design Presentation: We present your design plan with mood board, layout, and furniture and finish samples, ensuring every element aligns seamlessly with your vision.
Project Management: Site visits are in person and occur 2-3 times per week depending on the scope of the project and phase of construction and installation. We are in daily communication with the contractors on site, ensuring execution of the project to our standards.
Procurement & Implementation: We manage the acquisition of furnishings and materials, ensuring timely delivery and precise installation, and inspecting the quality of each item before it enters your home. We translate the design vision into a reality for our discerning clientele.
Personalized Installation: Beyond just placing furniture, our installations involve adding those final touches that make a house a home — be it an art piece, a bespoke lighting fixture, or custom-designed millwork.
Final Walkthrough & Handover: The moment we all look forward to — walking you through your transformed space. And while we're confident in exceeding expectations, we always ensure an open dialogue for any tweaks or refinements.
After-Care: Our commitment to you doesn’t end at project completion. We offer post-project support, ensuring that your space remains as cared for as the day it was completed.
Kind Words
“Elizabeth did an amazing job designing, managing, and coordinating our renovation. She helped us plan the entire process, gathered bids, and provided us with options for aesthetic choices. We are very happy with her work and don’t hesitate to recommend her. She really cares about making things right, and we trusted her with so many decisions big and small. Her contractors were not only professional, but really went above and beyond, and really cared about our renovation. The final product is amazing. Thank you, Elizabeth!”
“I can’t say enough about how fabulous Elizabeth is. She’s incredibly creative, responsive, open-minded, and organized. Her resources are amazing, she has great judgment and terrific taste – and she’s good at offering multiple options. She’s wonderful to work with, resourceful, and thorough. She consulted with us on our kitchen project and was absolutely invaluable! We’d work with her again in a heartbeat.”
“I hired Elizabeth for two different projects. One involved reconfiguring a bedroom and a hallway to create a laundry room and a walk-in closet. She did an amazing job making this happen. We had interviewed two other contractors for this project, but Elizabeth was the only one who came up with a solution for this space that made thoughtful use of all the available square footage. She did a great job making sure the work got done on time, and we were thrilled with the result. I then hired Elizabeth again to come up with an idea for how to redo a large raw plywood wall in our house and also to help devise a solution for organizing the clutter in our entryway. She came up with great ideas for both areas, and instead of being annoyed at the kid clutter when I walk into my house I now smile at how lovely and organized everything looks.”
“Elizabeth wasn’t local, it was a commute for her, but she was really present and checked in on the work. That was very much appreciated. I like her direct style of communication. Where it mattered she fought for it and where it didn’t she found a solution. That helped us let go and say “She really cares.” When you’re investing so much financially that goes a long way to help the trust factor.”
“Elizabeth has a really natural aesthetic ability and respect for the history of design. She can meld things so they aren’t antiseptic or too trend-driven. She has opened my eyes to texture. People say they want a pop of color, I now like a pop of texture.”
“I had a great experience during our project with Elizabeth, she did an amazing job of internalizing and metabolizing our ideas. The space we have now reflects our life and the things we love.”
“Our vacation house remodel was such a transformation, it’s dramatic, but not intimidating. Our family visits all the time and came in after the renovation and were like “Wow!” It felt like one of those design shows with a dramatic reveal.”
