VIVE Home is owned and operated by Elizabeth (Liz) Rand Watkinson, a Globe and Mail columnist and a designer with almost two decades’ experience in renovation, design, and facilities management.


Read Liz’s column, “Reno Adventures”, in the Globe’s Real Estate section every Friday.


“It’s easy to deliver a fabulous result when you have a generous renovation and design budget. It’s more challenging, however, when money and resources are limited. I love a challenge and doing more with less is where my creativity and expertise shines. For years I’ve worked to bring good design to homeowners who thought they’d never be able to afford to work with a designer. It’s been an eye-opener for many of my clients and hugely satisfying for me.”
