EO Design

Elizabeth was the resident designer at the company where we both worked for the five years that I was there. She created two lounge areas where people could eat lunch, hang out on a couch or sit in a cozy reading chair. I was in one of these lounges the other day, and I looked up to see that the ceiling had very subtle yellow stripes. This detail made the whole place feel spirited and festive (not corporate!). In essence these spaces felt like living rooms, which is so great for a work space.
She also designed the «privacy rooms» where nursing moms go to pump. I spent many a ½ hour in these cozy spaces. Everything we needed was there and it too felt like home.
Because she so impressed me at work, I asked Elizabeth to help us stage our apartment to get it ready for an open house. One can feel a little vulnerable having someone come in and say that their furniture is not doing their house any favors, but Elizabeth was really attuned to the situation and gave us really great suggestions that allowed us to work with what we had and to send a lot of stuff that was cluttering up the place to storage.
She also came in and physically helped us on the day of the photo shoot, hanging art we had neglected to ever hang up and moving items from room to room to make the place look more open.
The price we got shocked the rest of our building, and I think the staging was a big piece of that.

Elizabeth helped me convert an unused doorway into a cozy reading nook for my 3 year old. She came up with the ingenious idea to use a soft pet bed as a cushion (rather than having to get something custom upholstered to fit the space) — a solution that saved me hundreds of dollars! And the pet bed looks nothing like a pet bed. She also painted, and stenciled a star pattern on the walls. In the planning stage, she presented me with a lot of design options, and patiently worked with me to come up with something that I loved. My kid loves the nook! Thanks, Elizabeth!
