HGTV’s Sensible Chic, featured inspiration room for “Tranquil Bedroom”, October 31 & November 1, 2003:

“…a striking designer style… more than just a bedroom: it’s almost like a work of art…”
“…a tranquil and absolutely unique bedroom, filled with luxurious fabrics and unique works of art…”
“…extraordinary style…”
“…the angels were a true vision of artistic style…”

– Brooke Channon, host, Sensible Chic

“I’m really impressed with [Elizabeth’s] “inspiration room” – it’s something new…”
– Kim Tran, homeowner of “makeover room”, Sensible Chic

“[Elizabeth’s room] is so fresh, and it takes risks, and that’s what a designer should do – I always say a designer should set the trends and not follow them and that’s what’s happening here. It’s great!”
 Stuart Piontek, interior designer, guest designer/judge, Sensible Chic

“The woman’s sitting room is an elegant, peaceful retreat. Elizabeth Brownrigg used a soft pastel palette and metallics, including a custom silk sofa… and an aluminum-leaf table. …The shogi-style window treatments and raw silk sheers allow full or filtered light…”

San Francisco Magazine, November, 2003, 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.”
