If 2024 was about finding our footing again, 2025 was about celebrating just how far we’ve come.
This year was full — in every way. Full of projects, change, laughter, lessons, and some really beautiful milestones — both personally and professionally.
We hit the ground running with an incredible lineup of projects that stretched our creativity and reminded us why we love what we do. From the Show Home to the Tour of Remodeled Homes, to being named Best Interior Designer on the Emerald Coast, every single win this year felt hard-earned and deeply meaningful.
Behind those wins is a team that pours their heart into everything they touch.
We said goodbye to two amazing women, Ashtyn Chance and KayAnna Christenson, who will always be part of our story. We welcomed Brittany Warren, whose organization and positivity have been a huge gift. And somehow, through all the transitions, we became stronger — and closer — than ever.
We’re more than a team at this point; we’re family.
A sisterhood that challenges, supports, and occasionally drives each other a little crazy — but always with love. I wouldn’t have it any other way.
We also had some big personal celebrations this year. Haylee got married, Ashtyn got engaged, and KayAnna got married — talk about a year of love! And looking ahead, 2026 will bring even more reasons to celebrate — Ally and her husband Robby are welcoming their new daughter, and my own daughter is expecting at the end of May. Watching the people around me grow and step into these new chapters has been one of the greatest joys of all.
On the business side, we finally broke free from Google Jail (hallelujah!), rebuilt our systems, and streamlined how we communicate — both as a team and with clients. It’s wild to think how much smoother everything feels now.
And next year, we’ll mark 22 years in business.
That number blows my mind a little. Twenty-two years of designing, dreaming, and growing alongside incredible clients and team members.
When I started Elizabeth Erin Designs, I never imagined it would evolve into what it is today — a company built on passion, collaboration, and a shared belief that great design has the power to change how you feel in your space.
2025 was proof that growth doesn’t always mean doing more — sometimes it’s about slowing down, celebrating the wins, and recognizing the people who make it all possible.
To our clients, partners, and extended EED family — thank you. Thank you for your trust, your collaboration, and your belief in our vision.
Here’s to another year of building beautiful spaces, sharing big laughs, and celebrating every milestone — big or small — along the way.
