We were so happy with what they picked out, how we were treated, and how they communicated. Even when there was something we were not completely satisfied with, Elizabeth would make sure it was done right in the end. I would highly recommend this group. **★★★★★ — Rachel, Oct. 2020** > There is not enough space here to share my experience with Elizabeth. She is kind, talented, smart, patient and so much more. She has fantastic long standing relationships with other design professionals. They respect her and admire her talent. > She helped design my home down to the last detail. I am forever grateful. > She’s the best. **★★★★★ — SVR, Oct. 2020** > Elizabeth is amazing to work with on a remodeling project. She really listens to your desires and delivers on them. Elizabeth was prompt, there were no delays, and she relieved all of the stress associated with a repair project. She is also very kind and thoughtful, an added bonus when working with someone so skilled at what she does. After interviewing several other designers, Elizabeth was the right choice in every way imaginable! > > I highly recommend Elizabeth - she will make your house a home without adding to your stress level. **★★★★★ — stephanie goldstein, May 2020** > We had the best experience working with Elizabeth Scott Design Group. Elizabeth has such an attention to detail and is so wonderful to work with! She was efficient with her timing and always had great ideas. We are so thrilled with the turn out of our beautiful new kitchen and family room! We look forward to working with her and her team again! **★★★★★ — John Rouse, April 2020** > Elizabeth and her team have helped on several projects. She always had great ideas, presented a good selection of options and was the type you could hand the project to and not worry. > I recommend her without hesitation. **★★★★★ — Melichar Architects, May 2017** > We have worked on projects both big and small with Elizabeth. She has a keen eye for pulling together elegant interiors that reflect the homeowner’s style and personality. She creatively blends the interior selections with the architecture of the home, creating a cohesive design between structure and ornament. We hope we have the opportunity to work with Elizabeth again! **★★★★★ — Janine Ruff, Jan. 2017** > Elizabeth was an absolute pleasure to work with and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for help designing their home. > > My husband and I purchased our house in Lake Forest while still living in New Jersey. I knew I wanted to work with a designer to furnish the main living room area and felt overwelmed about moving into a big empty house. Before I even moved to the area, Elizabeth went to our new house, took pictures, examined the blue prints, and sent me many options to chose from (based off the pictures I originally sent her.) > > She listened to exactly what I wanted and really understood my specific style. Elizabeth helped me to find a beautiful area rug, sectional, and a coffee table that I am obsessed with! I am SO pleased with the way my living room looks right now! I would highly recommend her to everyone. **★★★★★ — Matthew Groeller, Sept. 2016** > I hired Elizabeth to help me move forward with the renovation of my condominium after working unsuccessfully with another interior designer. She was very knowledgeable and extremely efficient. For example, she came with her assistant to my condo and over a two hour period had a bunch of her trusted tradespeople come to my unit to determine what work needed to be completed and provide quotes. I greatly appreciated her respect for my time. Plus, I found her fees very reasonable considering the amount of work she did. I would not hesitate to engage her in the future! **★★★★★ — Atelier Jouvence Custom Stoneworks, Sept. 2016** > ESL Design Group commissioned this ornate carved limestone range hood from us. Custom-designed by Elizabeth Scott-Lisk, principal at ESL, we loved her attention to every design detail, and thought the finished product worked beautifully, from a proportion and design perspective, in the kitchen she had designed. We highly recommend her interior design work! **★★★★★ — Foster Green Design + Build, LLC, Aug. 2016** > Elizabeth is an amazing design partner to work with in building and remodeling homes. She has the ability to take the client’s taste and wants and create the perfect home for them not only in style but also function ability. The process with Elizabeth involved is stress free, keeping the selections made on time and in the established budget. The result is a truly amazing home, great quality, with a sense of ease that our clients appreciate and enjoy. > I would recommend her for both the constructions side of work as well as furniture, window treatments and furnishings for the home. **★★★★★ — clygirl, Aug. 2016** > Elizabeth is amazing to work with. She was always available to provide design innovation, overall vision and realistic estimate with the budget in mind. She is very knowledge and professional while being very personable and easy to talk to. I'd highly recommend her for all improvements whether your home or office. > > Thanks Elizabeth. **★★★★★ — cplhouse, Feb. 2015** > Elizabeth Lisk from ESL Design Group worked with me to lighten and modernize my kitchen and butler pantry without doing a major overhaul. She provided different options. We chose to paint the cabinets and restain the island. > She provided the contractors and suggested a cream color chalk paint and wax that allows the grain of the wood to still be visible while giving a nice soft and sophisticated finish. The island was stained in a darker color to create a contrast. The contractors were very professional and did a very good job. The kitchen looks like new even though we did not replace anything except cabinetry hardware. ## Selected projects - [Glencoe New Construction](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/glencoe-new-construction-pj-vj~6389213) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 24 - [Lincolnshire](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lincolnshire-pj-vj~6389163) - Location: Lincolnshire, IL - Photos: 5 - [New Construction- Transitional Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/new-construction-transitional-home-pj-vj~5422866) - Location: Chicago, IL - Photos: 5 - [Traditional New Construction Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/traditional-new-construction-home-pj-vj~1970300) - Location: Lake Forest, IL - Photos: 15 - [New Construction](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/new-construction-pj-vj~3567198) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 - [Elegant Traditional Dining Room Remodel-Barrington](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/elegant-traditional-dining-room-remodel-barrington-pj-vj~1735755) - Location: Hoffman Estates, IL - Photos: 6 - Description: This Amazing Regal Looking Dining Room has some truly elegant pieces to it! It was a balance to not have one piece steal the look of the room from another. The custom table has beautiful embellished detailing on the top as well as the legs, and the chairs are so stunning borrowing the damask pattern that also is used in the wallpaper and rug. It's true elegance in a timeless traditional style. - [Bathroom Remodels](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bathroom-remodels-pj-vj~5425987) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 7 - [Transitional Style Condo](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/transitional-style-condo-pj-vj~2656128) - Location: Chicago, IL - Photos: 5 - Description: For this city condo, we wanted to keep the clean lines of the space but also bring in the clients fun transitional taste. This was accomplished by using fun wallpaper and colorful accents in the Living Room. Warm wallpaper along with the warm grays on trend made the Master Bedroom a cozy haven to relax in. - [Hip Geometric Bathroom in New Construction Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/hip-geometric-bathroom-in-new-construction-home-pj-vj~1318509) - Location: Libertyville, IL - Photos: 1 - Description: The homeowners of this new construction wanted something fun in the main level powder room. We chose this hip geometric wallpaper in navy blue. The Bianca Carrara counter top with the white porcelain under mount sink gives it a classic touch while the polished nickel faucet picks up on the trendy sconces and fun curvy frameless mirror. Dark wood flooring was continued into this space from the hallway. - [Transitional Upgrades to a Traditional Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/transitional-upgrades-to-a-traditional-home-pj-vj~1569078) - Location: Lincolnshire, IL - Photos: 9 - Description: We took this Dining Room from an all Country Red color that was used heavily 20 years ago, and updated the look using light yellow and Gold Tones. The wallpaper has a great texture to it adding dimension to the room. The accessories and etagere add a softer feel to the room. The silk drapes where also added to give a elegance to the room that flowed from the foyer into the dining room. - [Transitional Home with Timeless Accents](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/transitional-home-with-timeless-accents-pj-vj~721291) - Location: Kenilworth, IL - Photos: 4 - Description: When the homeowners moved into this traditional style home they wanted to make the space their own. By adding transitional style furnishings and accents we were able to give them that timeless look they love. - [Traditional Home with Transitional Accents](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/traditional-home-with-transitional-accents-pj-vj~506613) - Location: Lincolnshire, IL - Photos: 5 - Description: The updates in this home were small but they made a huge difference! It started out with a Kitchen update, however, when the homeowner saw the dramatic changes we just had to keep on going. - [New Construction Transitional Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/new-construction-transitional-home-pj-vj~1566841) - Location: Highland Park, IL - Photos: 12 - Description: This full rehab project had us taking a Traditional home and adding New, updated Transitional elements to the interiors. The white Shaker Style Cabinetry with brushed nickel hardware is a favorite of ours. We loved adding the glass shelving with oval detailing on the mullions. The flow of the neutral//taupe paint set off the base and crown moldings nicely. - [Transitional Home Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/transitional-home-remodel-pj-vj~2994037) - Location: Lake Forest, IL - Photos: 7 - [Modern Home with Sparkle](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-home-with-sparkle-pj-vj~600651) - Location: Highland Park, IL - Photos: 2 - Description: We started out with an empty open space that the homeowner wanted to fill and change to a more soothing color palette. We achieved this by using a soft gray and taupe color palette. Adding some subtle sparkle to the fabric on the stools and pillows gave it an elegant feel worthy of the magnificent fireplace. The cobalt blue accents added just the right amount of color while still keeping the space soothing. - [Paint Transformation in a Traditional Family Room](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/paint-transformation-in-a-traditional-family-room-pj-vj~1251848) - Location: Lake Forest, IL - Photos: 6 - Description: Tired of a plain white Family Room our client needed a change… she had no idea how amazing such bold rich colors would add to the space! It’s now her Ralph Lauren in London room. The chocolate brown color on the walls added a new warmth and richness. While the navy blue on the vaulted ceiling added interest and perfectly accented the artwork she has wanted to put up for months now. - [Large Scale Renovation to a Traditional Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/large-scale-renovation-to-a-traditional-home-pj-vj~334067) - Location: Long Grove, IL - Photos: 8 - Description: A large renovation was done throughout the house including a galley style kitchen, with eating area, elegant style Dining Room, a traditional basement bar for entertaining, and more. - [Remodel from White to Fabulously Refined](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/remodel-from-white-to-fabulously-refined-pj-vj~334101) - Location: Lincolnshire, IL - Photos: 3 - Description: A kitchen that was formerly white (not the white most are pining for right now…think 80’s white wash) was remodeled to this new look of rich, distressed, stained cabinets. The perimeter was stained lighter than the island and a simple stone backsplash was used to let the gorgeous green granite countertops be the focus. With Perrin and Rowe faucets and Rocky Mountain hardware this Kitchen made a beautiful transformation. - [Traditional Home Gets a Gorgeous Facelift](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/traditional-home-gets-a-gorgeous-facelift-pj-vj~334110) - Location: Lincolnshire, IL - Photos: 15 - Description: The home was purchased with what we call “good bones.” However, it lacked detail and the cranberry and gold paint colors throughout the home were too severe. We added detail throughout the home with new base, casing, and crown, and we neutralized the walls with softer colors. - [Amazing Traditional New Construction Home with over the Top Details!](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/amazing-traditional-new-construction-home-with-over-the-top-details-pj-vj~334016) - Location: Northbrook, IL - Photos: 20 - Description: This amazing home was constructed from the ground up. I had the pleasure of working with a family to create a highly customized home that had some pretty stylish and hot details, one of which we called the "James Bond Bar." In the Master Bedroom Suite, a bar was built into the wall with a secret button that hid his favorite after dinner liquors! Take a look, there are too many details to list!

Where can this be purchased? A: I'm glad you like it Erin! This piece as you see it here from Crate and Barrel. It fit the space nicely tying in the colorway in this living room. It also added a sense of depth to the wall which we love. **Q: Which is worse - off center bath sconces or mirrors?** *(in Design Dilemma)* Hi Help! Trying to update old medicine cabinets (not recessed ). Which is worse - having the mirror centered under the sconces but off center to the faucets. Or, the sconces off center to the mirror but the mirror centered to the faucets? In a picture, having the mirrors centered under the sconces looks better but in real life when i am using the faucet it is really strange seeing the bottom of the mirror off centered to it. Thoughts or experience with this problem? Thanks A: This can be tricky to the eye as it will not seem balanced in either option for you. My advice is to truly make them all align. If it is the lighting that is preventing you from doing this, there are very inexpensive new lights to purchase from a Home Depot level on up that have a larger back plate on them that will hide the old electrical hole placement. If that is not an option at this point you will notice more if the mirror is off center than any other component. I hope this is helpful to you! Best, Elizabeth **Q: What color?** *(in Design Dilemma)* What color to paint trim & Windows A: The color palette of the exterior is actually very nice as it currently is. I think if you add some color into the landscaping with some pop of color with flowers and perennials you will get the change you are wanting for your home. You could also add 2 urns on the front and have plantings in these that would also achieve more color for you. **Q: Paint color** *(in Photo Questions)* What is this paint color? Love it! A: Make sure if it is for a bathroom that you use an Eggshell Finish. If not in a bathroom use a Matte or Flat for best looking walls! **Q: Wallpaper** *(in Photo Questions)* Stunning bath! can you tell me who;s the manuf of the wall paper. thanks in advance A: Beautiful Job! **Q: Wall color?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: The color is called Rocky Beach CSP 190 from Benjamin Moore. It's a great color that blends nicely with neutrals. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-08-12.*
