All Around Creativity
Savannah is an artistic city says former New Yorker and Weezie Towels co-founder Liz Eicholz who takes full advantage of the many artists who call the "Hostess City" home. Like many Savannah residents, Eicholz has filled her home with artwork. The presence of the Savannah College of Art and Design means there are always talented artists cycling through the city.
Classic Savannah
Liz Eicholz left New York City for the greener pastures of Savannah's historic Ardsley Park neighborhood to start a business Weezie Towels with her business partner Lindsey Johnson, that caters to customers looking for quality towels (including a new line of beach towels and robes coming soon). Savannah's port city status makes it the perfect location for Weezie, which sources its towels from Portugal.

Lean In
The advantage to arranging photos and artwork on shelves instead of nailing them into walls is the opportunity to swap things out, add and subtract and otherwise keep your gallery wall surprising and interesting.

Bring the Funk
Savannah interior designer Robyn Roberts helped Eicholz bring color into her Savannah home. "She's really good at doing traditional with a funky mix," says Eicholz.

Punchy Powder
Eizholz loved the wallpaper the former home occupant installed in this small but charming powder room so much she decided to keep it. Of a powder room Eicholz says "it's a less scary place to play with your design."
Play With Space
This very small powder room with a low-ceiling becomes sparky and new when wallpaper covers every surface. "I love doing a mix of old and new" says Eicholz of her Savannah home where her Weezie towels blend right in with both vintage and brand new features.

A Crisp, Clean Backdrop
"I thought I was an all-white gal," laughs Eicholz of her preference for white walls, upholstery and furniture as seen in this hallway with a vintage hutch that she refurbished. But Savannah designer Robyn Roberts helped Eicholz get out of her comfort zone and inject some color into her design scheme, just one advantage of consulting a professional designer with a fresh perspective for help.
