Liz transformed our NYC co-op, last designed in the 80s, into an inviting, eclectic, warm, soothing space, creating our dream apartment. She had a unique and bold vision and worked tirelessly to present us exciting options for layout, cabinetry, lighting, furnishings, finishing pieces and art. She has relationships with many artisans who were able to custom make unique and gorgeous pieces for our home and then a wealth of interesting resources to find the just-right pieces, doing it all with a sensitivity to budget.
Liz included us in a creative conversation–always feeling out what resonated with our unique sensibility. She struck a delightful balance between guiding us and listening to us. Liz was a fierce advocate to ensure fine craftsmanship, and keep the project moving on a budget and on schedule. She is also just very lovely to work with–she is kind, hard-working, organized, a great communicator, deeply passionate and committed to realizing the space. We always felt that the project was as important to her as it was to us.
The result is that our apartment is more than we ever imagined–a space that uplifts, delights and nurtures us each time we walk through our door. We think of it as our happy place. We loved the process of working with Liz and are privileged to be enjoying her work each day. We can’t recommend her more highly.
The thought of remodeling and furnishing our new home was overwhelming until we met with Liz Zaret. Liz took our home from being a 1920's Spanish that had great bones but needed much updating, to a fabulous home that all who enter the front entry stop and say WOW! Liz worked tirelessly with our contractor from the early stages of tearing out walls, to remodeling the kitchen and bathrooms, as well as picking out paint colors, finishes, cabinetry, flooring, appliances, hardware and lighting. All the while, Liz kept us on track and under budget. We now have our beautiful home to enjoy filled with Liz's gorgeous custom sourced furniture, linens and window coverings. And best of all is Liz's fun, focused, professional attitude and work ethic.
What started out as my search for the perfect coffee table ended up with paint, wallpaper, and a master bedroom renovation currently in progress! Liz was collaborative, inventive, and brought incredibly tasteful and beautiful details to our home. She becomes an “expert partner” while finding the perfect items for your rooms, yet can incorporate what one is looking for and elevate it to the next level. Her little touches complete a look, and make you want to be home to enjoy her work. Liz lets her clients move at their own pace; I never felt pressured or rushed and really appreciated that. I look forward to continuing our partnership on many future projects.
I had A Little Sprucing assist me in making my home feel more put together and more like me and it worked! Liz asked me questions about what was important to me and what I wanted most to work on. I wanted cozy seating areas, and an updated feel without buying new furniture. She came back with pieces to add to what I already had and created a beautiful living room by rearranging my chairs and a small table into a new configuration. She added a sense of design to my coffee table with a few new items. Liz also brought over her amazing pillows and made my den look like an updated living space. I love working with her because she is a great listener and gave me exactly what I wanted, an updated look and a beautiful space to come home to.
I decided to update my house recently but definitely needed help in moving forward. Once I started with Liz I knew I had picked the right person. Liz is fabulous. She helped me change the whole vibe of my house by just replacing small styling pieces, pillows and various accessories. The entire feel of my house is now different without having changed one piece of furniture. She has a great eye and her taste and creativity are first rate. Additionally, Liz was totally responsive to what I wanted. I cannot say enough good things about her. Not only am I thrilled with the end result, I actually had great time throughout the entire process.
I hired Liz to help me make some changes throughout my beach house. My home is a little bit of a tricky untraditional narrow space with four floors. I wanted it to feel lighter and brighter, feel more cohesive and fresh, but at the same time warm and cozy. We were able to stay on budget by keeping some of my bigger pieces like my couch and bed, but Liz added things like a cool leather chair, pillows, throws, styling pieces, two rugs and and some art for the walls, changing the whole feeling and color scheme. We picked paint for my entry, and stairwell to brighten things up, designed and had made a custom nightstand for my narrow space on the side of the bed that I just love, and custom black out drapes for my bedroom. We also changed lighting and made a design plan for my deck. Liz and I worked really well together, and she navigated around my busy work/travel schedule. I love the changes that were made and I’m thrilled with my space.
Liz is a design GODDESS. Not only does she have INCREDIBLE taste, she is so lovely and easy to work with. If you need a pillow, a vintage vessel, or a whole new kitchen Liz is the one to call! My home is so much prettier because of her!
