flickr page

I have started a flickr page so it is easier to share images with our family, friends, customers and blog readers. All this tech stuff is getting overwhelming, so many passwords, login in IDs, emails...it is communication overload!

our story

In the spring of 2000, a life long dream came true when I opened my first shop in a tiny storefront in downtown Savannah. Within three years we had outgrown that little store and the search for a larger location began. I settled on a centrally located space with more visibility and foot traffic. After spending three years in the second location, we found ourselves once again craving more space. As luck would have it we found an enormous turn of the century storefront on Savannah's premier shopping street. We remained there until the winter of 2010 when we closed our doors due to the lagging economy. @home was recognized as one of the most inspiring, stylish and original stores in the area.

in case you missed it...

I have had the good fortune of having my freelance projects and the shop featured in the following publications:Country Living, Country Home, Southern Living, Better Homes & Gardens, Southern Accents, Lucky, Vanity Fair, Cottage Living, Cooking with Paula Deen, Bargain Style, Holiday Crafts, Christmas Ideas, Boho Magazine, Adorn, South, Flea Market Style, Savannah Magazine, Savannah Weddings, Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles and Decorating Magazine. Online we have been featured on Design Sponge, Decor 8, Darling Dexter and Once Wed.

the people behind the magic...

I couldn't have done this without the support of my husband. He is the motivating force behind the visionary. He helps me do everything from building projects to rearranging to hunting for antiques all while running his own successful custom furniture business and helping raise our beautiful son.

I also had the distinct pleasure of sharing my shop with a talented and inspiring group of girls (past & present) that contribute to the creative environment on a daily basis.

then there is me...

I was a bit bohemian growing up with a love for old things so I savored the opportunity to work in an antique shop in my early twenties. I quickly realized that this was my calling. In 1995 I moved to Savannah, GA to obtain a BFA at the Savannah College of Art & Design. Shortly after graduation I opened the shop and the rest is history.

my other job...

In 2003, an editor from a national magazine took me under his wing and introduced me to the editorial process. As a freelance producer and photo stylist I have worked with incredibly gifted people that continue to inspire and challenge me. My work is reflective of the environment and aesthetic of my former shop. @home served as a creative laboratory filled with elements that I pullred into my features. I have produced and styled magazine features, purchased and supplied props for video, television, film and print media.

my most recent endeavor...

In the spring of 2009 I launched Elizabeth Demos Event Design & Styling (www.elizabethdemos.com). I'm available for full event design and coordination both near and far. It has been a natural transition from shop owner to event designer. I have the opportunity to incorporate all the things I love the most; being creative, working with people, exploring my imagination and inventive design.
