As you have designed it
Can one use:
1) The restaurant looks good as you have designed it.
instead of:
2) The restaurant looks good the way you have designed it.
Can one use:
3) The kitchen looks good the way you have painted it.
instead of:
4) The kitchen looks good as you have painted it.
In '2' and '4', 'as' could mean 'because', but I think it could also have the same meaning as 'the way'. I think they work with both meanings.
Gratefully,
