• San Francisco magazine, November, '03, p. 112, (photo and write-up), for a teenage girl's bedroom:
  
  "Elizabeth Brownrigg designed this sleek, funky bedroom to express a teenage girl's unbridled independence. Brownrigg, an artist and former set designer, painted the whimsical mask that hangs above the large platform bed which is dressed with a brilliantly-colored custom bedspread. The leather shag rug adds texture and a sense of fun. The innovative custom-made window treatment, painted wooden panels covered with sheer fabric that slide over a woven metal curtain, allows for either full light, filtered light, or complete privacy."
