Thank you for making our home so beautful.   Our exterior renovation has completely updated the look of our home and I just love it!  Our neighbors are amazed at the transformation and we couldn’t be happier.  It is a pleasure to recommend you to our family and friends.

My wife and I needed help with our home renovation and didn’t know where to start.   A friend recommended Lake Norman Design Group and so we scheduled a consultation with Elizabeth.  It was the best decision we could have made.  She was a tremendous asset for choosing paint colors,  flooring, new lighting, as well as completing kitchen and bathroom remodels. Our home is so much better and now we enjoy entertaining!  Elizabeth made us love our home again and we wish we had done this years ago.

I had no idea how many decisions would need to be made when building a new home.  Being in the medical profession, I had very little time to focus on every detail.  After meeting with Elizabeth at Lake Norman Design Group, I felt confident she understood the vision I had for my home.  Her portfolio was full of interior and exterior details of similar homes she had completed and her suggestions were even better than what I had planned to implement.  Elizabeth is an excellent communicator and kept me informed and involved to the degree that left me feeling confident throughout the project.  The final result?  I couldn’t be more pleased and plan to hire Lake Norman Design Group for my vacation home.

When we moved from California, we decided to hire a designer to complete the interior of our new home.  From realtors to new neighbors, Elizabeth at Lake Norman Design Group was at the top of everyone’s list.  What a joy it has been to work with such a kind, talented professional.  She took the stress out of every decision and allowed us to focus on getting to know our new city and new neighbors.  Thank you Elizabeth for making our home so beautiful and the process so easy.

“Businesses like this are a rare find today.  We started with a call for a nursery renovation for our first child and since then, Elizabeth has led the designs of our interior remodels, kitchen and bath remodels, exterior renovations, floor plan changes and the new construction of our vacation home.  She feels like family to us.”

We moved to Lake Norman after falling in love with a home we saw while visiting.  We called Lake Norman Design Group to help with new interior selections and after the consultation with Elizabeth, we knew we had found the right designer.  She was a wealth of information and ultimately made the ideas we had for our home, even better.  We whole-heartedly recommend Elizabeth at Lake Norman Design Group

Our only call would be to Elizabeth and her staff for our interior design projects.  She managed the design and renovation of our family home, and we are absolutely elated with the result.  She is extremely knowledgeable about construction and communicated everything so understandably that we felt informed and confident with every step along the way.  We could not be more pleased with our gorgeous home and truly think of her as family.

We loved working with Elizabeth on the construction of our lake home.  We called her before we had blueprints and she guided us through floor plan drawings, elevations and exterior spaces that work perfectly for our family.  She created such a team atmosphere with our architect, builder and everyone involved in the process.  We worked together for over two years and had so much fun selecting tile, flooring, windows, appliances…everything!  Who knew building a home could be fun?  She and her team truly made our house a home.

Elizabeth delivers an amazing design experience.  We called Lake Norman Design Group for a large-scale kitchen and bath remodel and love the result, especially the cabinet and countertop selections!  They were such a pleasure to work with, and we are still getting compliments on the final product.  Elizabeth is so meticulous and our spaces turned out so beautifully that we are now renovating our entire home!
