Known for her passion for an eclectic mix of styles , and as one half of Georgantas , a highly sought-after residential design and development firm that Elizabeth runs with her husband , she was uniquely qualified to take on the challenge of renovating the home .
In the master bath , the team went up into the attic to gain height and bring in some light . Given that they needed to cover up two front house windows , this was especially important .
The couple ’ s hard work was rewarded with Preservation Massachusetts ’ highest honor : The Paul & Niki Tsongas Award , which recognizes people and projects that have displayed the highest level of commitment to historic preservation in the Commonwealth .
“ The recognition of my peers for truly pouring my heart into this home — three years of blood , sweat , and tears , and having the people in the homebuilding and design community that are the most accredited , and really know what a process like this takes — to have them tell you your efforts are appreciated is above and beyond anything I could have imagined . I ’ m truly blown away and grateful ,” says Elizabeth .
