Seventeen years ago, in 2008, Liz Walton Home began in the most humble of spaces—my basement. A few years later we welcomed our son, Michael, and our daughter, Scarlett, who played by my side as I attempted to build a business. A story many of you can relate to. What started as a dream fueled by a love for design and a determination to build something of my own has since grown into a boutique interior design firm rooted in referrals, long-term partnerships, and the belief that every home should tell the story of the people who live there.
The journey has been anything but straightforward. In the early days, I was the “new kid on the block” in a competitive industry, grappling with imposter syndrome while working to prove myself one project at a time. Over the years, I’ve faced the challenges of entrepreneurship—navigating shifting trends, running a business during a pandemic, and balancing the demands of raising two confident kids—all while striving to be fully present as a designer, a mother, and a leader.
None of this would have been possible without my community. I’ve had the honor of working alongside incredibly talented local vendors, tradespeople, and artisans whose skill and dedication elevate every project. I’ve met fascinating clients who have invited me into their homes and trusted me to bring their stories to life. And behind the scenes, I’ve had the unwavering support of family and friends, especially my husband, Mike, who has cheered me on through every late night and big leap.
Today, Liz Walton Home is no longer a solo endeavor. I am proud to lead a superstar team of capable, driven young women who bring fresh ideas, sharp instincts, and incredible talent to our work. Together, we’ve built a studio that’s as much about relationships and accountability as it is about design. Along the way, I’ve learned the fine art of listening deeply, holding myself accountable, and showing up with presence—for my clients, my team, and my family.
As we step into this next chapter, I’m thrilled to introduce our new website—a reflection of where we’ve been, who we are today, and where we’re headed. It’s not just a showcase of our work; it’s a space to celebrate our clients, our community, and the shared creativity that fuels everything we do.
Looking ahead, my hope is that Liz Walton Home continues to grow not only as a design studio but as a source of inspiration—a place where we can create beauty, foster connection, and build a community together.
