**★★★★★ — A Lang, Aug. 2017**

> Liz came to me highly recommended by trusted neighbors and friends.  I could tell from photos of her previous work that she had a unique decorating style.  From the moment of our initial consultation, I knew I wanted to work with her.  She was very warm and easy to talk to and really listened to my thoughts and ideas. I initially had three rooms and an entry hallway I wanted to decorate (dining room, husband’s office and formal living room.)  I explained to Liz that since my house was very traditional on the exterior, I wanted to keep somewhat of a traditional style but add a warm and cozy feel with updated and modern design elements.  I told her I knew what I wanted but just didn’t know how to get there!  Well she understood completely and took the ball and ran with it!   I got exactly what I wanted.  I was so pleased with her work that a year later, I used her every step of the way for a kitchen, family room and powder room remodel.  For this project, I consulted with Liz not only for interior design work, but also on architectural details that involved moving doorways, adding windows and moving/removing walls!  She has great vision and a strong sense of proportion.  I had her review the architect’s drawings each step of the way and utilized her input.  Again, the result is exactly what I wanted!  I couldn’t be more pleased with Liz’s work.  I highly recommend her.  She is very smart but more importantly, you will be drawn to her friendly nature and easy attitude.”

**★★★★★ — Diana Embrey, Aug. 2017**

> Liz was amazing in helping to select furniture and paint for our new house.  She's got an amazing eye!  She has a terrific sense on the right scale of furniture and light fixtures, and the best layout for the space.  She was very responsive and came to the house several times to talk through the layout and paint options.  The end result is a beautiful yet livable and comfy space.  We love it!

**★★★★★ — tsmcavoy, Aug. 2017**

> Our home had a small  room off of the kitchen that we wanted to use as a mudroom for our three kids and dog. But because of its location, it was important that it was beautiful as well as functional. Liz designed a room so perfect that it quickly became one of my favorite spots in the house. So much so, that I have even hosted a happy hour in there!”

**★★★★★ — Michael Morris - Residential Project Advisory, May 2016**

> As a custom builder nothing saddens me more than when a project is not complimented by the furnishings and selections after we have finished. Enter Liz. She has worked with us and for clients on several high end projects. When I returnto a project several months after completion I see how she stays true to the project and further enhances the architectural elements. Her use of color, material, and scale was perfect. She will add value and livability to your existing home or new project with a distinctive style that all great spaces deserve.

**★★★★★ — gwierzbo, Dec. 2013**

> Liz is nothing short of amazing.  She is an expert at proportion and balance. She defines and gives new life to a room by introducing a beautiful mix of fabrics and materials.  Liz is also very good at helping clients to establish and stick to a budget when necessary. I highly recommend Imagine Design and Build.

## Community Q&A

**Q: Love the wall paper.** *(in Photo Questions)*

Would really like to know the source.

A: Cole & sons

**Q: gorgeous square coffe table** *(in Photo Questions)*

Where is this gorgeous coffee table from?

A: It is actually two Noir Vert coffee tables put together so we could get the scale right.

**Q: what size chandelier is that?** *(in Photo Questions)*

I am looking at the Harlow from RH and unsure whether to go with 60 inch or 43!

A: This one is 43, and we debated for a long time between that and 36.  60 is VERY big so be careful of scale.

**Q: what is the name of that chandelier?** *(in Photo Questions)*

Who makes that beautiful chandelier?

A: It is actually from Restoration Hardware.  I loved that it is so simple and clean.  We had to be really brave and go with the bigger size and I think it work.  Ceiling are 11 feet in this room

**Q: Where is the refrigerator?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: Oh they don't refrigerate....Just kidding.  It is just not photographed - it is off the the right.

**Q: Island Colour** *(in Photo Questions)*

Hi, I absolutely love the colour of the island, can you please share the colour info.

A: Simply white
