"
It is hard to describe the lovely feeling of comfort and delight that I continue to enjoy since Elizabeth decorated my home. Each room affords me a unique sense of pleasure. The overall effect is a feeling of ease and relaxation that still surprises and delights my soul.

This home was a new build. Unfortunately, the owner, who was the builder, became critically ill. Therefore, not much happened in the way of decorating or pulling things together. In time, the owner passed away and my friend expressed how heavy the house felt, and it didn’t exactly feel like home. After listening to her for a bit, I said, “I can help you make this feel like your home if you would like that.” Short answer was, "Yes."
Before
After
Shopping for furniture, shopping for light fixtures, and being able to choose the colors in her home were all new experiences for her. We chose a sofa that would fit the space well in a taupe, and the chair was just the right fit for her. We brought in a glass top table and a mercury lamp for soft lighting. The lamp in the corner also has glass to bring light to that corner.
In the bedroom, we added wallpaper to the main wall and a design element to the side wall, which was flat as there wasn’t much space between the bed and the wall but needed a little something to enhance the space.
I promised her that when we were done she would walk through the door after work and actually "feel" like it was her home.
Based on her comment above, I think we successfully created a home that is Comfortable, Enjoyable and Delightful.

When it comes to selling a home, first impressions matter. The way a space looks and feels can make all the difference in how potential buyers connect with it. Home staging is more than just tidying up or moving a few pieces of furniture. It is a thoughtful process designed to highlight a home’s best features.
Redesigning a home does not always require replacing everything. Many clients come to us thinking their only option is to start from scratch, but often the right approach involves working with what you already have and making intentional updates. A room can feel entirely different with just a few thoughtful changes.
What do you need? That was the question to be answered for an office in my home where I could minimize distractions and interruptions, as I was working from my dining room table. (How many of us can relate to using the dining table for everything but dining?)
The living room is often the heart of your home, a space for relaxation, entertainment, and connecting with loved ones. Whether you’re redesigning your living room or just looking to refresh it, there are key design elements that can make a big difference in creating a stylish and functional space. Here are seven essential design elements that every living room should have, according to interior design experts.
