Thoughtfully designed. Fully managed. Created around the way you live today-and where you're headed next.
A home designed for the life you're building.
Full-service interior design for renovations, new builds, and whole-home transformations.
We didn't start LizRae because we wanted to build a design firm.
We started it because we discovered that our strengths worked together in a way that made the design process better for our clients.
Charlene sees what a home can become.
Julie knows how to bring it to life.
Together, we guide every detail from first ideas to final installation.
Most renovation projects fail for one reason: lack of a cohesive design vision with too many moving parts and nobody coordinating them.
We bring together design, investment management, procurement, contractor communication, and execution into one streamlined process.
Most of Our Clients Aren't Looking for a New House.
They're Looking for a Better Way to Live.
They love their neighborhood.
They've built memories there.
But the home no longer supports the way they live today.
The kitchen doesn't function the way they gather. The layout feels disconnected. Spaces go unused while the rooms they rely on feel crowded and inefficient.
They know something needs to change—they just aren't sure where to start.
That's where we come in.
We help clients reimagine what's possible, uncover opportunities they may never have considered, and create homes that feel beautifully tailored to the life they're building next.
Why Clients Choose LizRae
Because a successful project requires more than great design.
It requires vision, leadership, organization, and someone who can guide hundreds of decisions along the way.
That's why our partnership works so well.
Charlene sees what a home can become.
She uncovers possibilities, reimagines spaces, and creates homes that feel deeply personal to the people who live in them.
Julie makes it happen.
She brings structure to the process, manages the details, and helps clients move through complex projects with confidence.
Together, we create beautiful homes—and a better experience getting there.
What It's Like to Work Together
We believe great projects begin long before selections are made or plans are drawn.
That's why every project starts with understanding how you live, what's not working, and where you want your home to take you next.
From there, we guide every step of the journey.
Step 1-Discovery
Every project begins with a conversation.
We'll discuss your goals, challenges, timeline, and investment expectations to determine whether we're the right fit.
Step 2-Home Assessment
This is where the real work begins.
We'll walk through your home, identify opportunities, discuss priorities, and begin exploring possibilities you may not have considered.
By the end, you'll have greater clarity around what's possible and what it may require to achieve it.
Step 3-Design Development
We transform ideas into a cohesive plan.
Layouts, materials, finishes, furnishings, and details are thoughtfully selected to create a home that feels uniquely yours.
Step 4-Procurement & Project Coordination
Once selections are finalized, we manage ordering, tracking, communication, and coordination so you don't have to.
Step 5-Construction & Installation
We remain involved throughout construction and installation, helping answer questions, solve challenges, and ensure the final result aligns with the vision.
Step 6-Welcome Home
The best part.
A thoughtfully designed home that reflects who you are and supports the life you're building.
"They helped us navigate hundreds of decisions without ever feeling overwhelmed."
We're honored to be invited into our clients' homes and trusted with spaces that matter deeply to them.
"Julie kept everything organized and moving forward while Charlene brought ideas we never would have imagined ourselves."
"What was once a disconnected lake house became the gathering place our family always wanted."
"We knew every detail was being handled and always felt informed along the way."
A Seamless Experience, From Start to Finish
A Friendship That Became a Design Firm
LizRae Interiors began years ago at a neighborhood pond while our children played together. What started as a friendship quickly became creative collaboration. Before long, we were designing increasingly elaborate birthday parties together—Charlene dreaming up the design and décor, Julie managing the details and bringing it all to life.
At the time, Charlene was designing luxury resorts, spas, and private residences around the world. Julie was leading design departments in the corporate world, managing teams, budgets, and complex projects.
When Charlene began focusing on residential design, Julie asked for help with her own home. Somewhere between design meetings and countless conversations, we realized how naturally our strengths worked together. Charlene could see what a home could become. Julie knew how to guide the process and make it happen.
That partnership became LizRae.
Today, we help clients create homes that reflect who they are and support the life they're building. Charlene brings the vision. Julie brings the structure. Together, we guide every detail—from the earliest ideas to the final installation—creating homes that feel personal, thoughtful, and uniquely yours.
The name LizRae comes from our middle names—Charlene's "Liz" and Julie's "Rae"—but it has always represented something more: a partnership built on trust, friendship, and a shared passion for creating homes people truly love living in.
