FROM
A client came to me with a unique job. He needed a complete home setup and had no time or know-how of what to do.
It started with pre-viewing real estate to pick the best house to suit his needs. After the house was obtained and cosmetic changes made, we moved on to the interior design.
We started with the obvious… furnishings and decor. Then there were all the details that needed to be taken care of. Bedding, linens, kitchenware barware, toiletries, bringing over his entire wardrobe and organizing it into the closets. That led to stocking the walk-in wine cooler, the bar, the pantry…everything. We redid the landscaping and searched for art together.
When all was complete he was able to simply and seamlessly walk into his new home and live. From this job came the request to repeat that formula and thereupon, INHABIT was born.
THE PRESENT
& THE FUTURE
Conceived as a design/staging company, Style Studio has designed and furnished properties for a multitude of diverse clients. Lisa’s versatility and creativity within the broad spectrum of architectural and interior design styles, has earned her a space in the design landscape.
Discovering a void, Lisa seized the opportunity to diversify the business to cater to the hardworking successful man, lacking the time and possibly the inspiration to design and create a home for himself. INHABIT was established to fill this void and set the business on a new path.
