Good Works Makeover
During a lightning-fast three weeks on the project—with much of that time spent talking with residents and staff about their routines and needs—she came up with a decorating scheme that's equal parts warmth, comfort, and empowerment.

Elaine made the foyer welcoming with a Liz Claiborne settee and Butter and Eggs pillows. Liz Claiborne also donated the rug and the étagère. The vases are actually wineglasses from Bed Bath & Beyond, and the abstract paintings hanging against the wallpaper are from Blonder Home Accents.
