"

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.

Change and More Change kitchen design home decorating remodeling review in Springfield, MA
By Elizabeth Samay August 25, 2023
In 2014, we upgraded our kitchen…total gut. We took down a wall between the kitchen and the dining room, which greatly opened the space. In the picture, you will see an island with a stove top and oven in the center. The island was quite large and did not allow much space in front of the refrigerator.
