Mary Elizabeth Wilson, Owner and Interior Designer, doesn't think interior design needs to be overly complicated or mysterious. She strives to follow some basic guiding principles: Keep it functional and beautiful. It is those same principles that Mary Elizabeth followed when she chose to open Orchid & Ivy, a lifestyle store that features furniture, home accessories, gifts, antiques, unique art, custom botanical arrangements, and full-service interior design. She's about as genuine as they come. Mary Elizabeth has studied under many prominent designers and has traveled the world, but describes herself as a hands-on designer who most often can be found in blue jeans and a ponytail, with her sleeves rolled up as she digs into design projects.
