LTW Designed Our Home, Best Decision We Made

After falling in love with a home staged by LTW Design, we contacted them to design our new home we were building. From start to finish they worked with our builder and architect to design floorpans and materials. They guided us on everything from tile, hardware, lighting, furniture to artwork. We were extremely happy with the entire process and mostly loved the energy and enthusiasm Leia and her team brought to every single meeting. They are a pleasure to work with, focused on every detail and looking back I don’t know what we would’ve done without them.

Leia designed our entire new home, best decision we ever made.

After walking through a home staged by LTW Design, we knew wherever we ended up that we wanted them to design our house. A week after closing on our new home as we were preparing to knock it down and build from scratch, we reached out to LTW and it was the absolute best thing we did! Leia was such an ease to work with, she is pleasant, fun, extremely talented and somehow gets the job done in a way that looks effortless. After working with her and her team for over a year and a half, we know how hard it is to do what they do and are grateful we had them along the way guiding us the entire process with a smile. We looked forward to our meetings and we love that we spent the time with them to make decisions on every aspect of the home, right down to what side of the sink is most natural to have the dishwasher on. We love our new house and hands down highly recommend LTW Design.

Multiple offers and over asking!

When it came time to put our house on the market we knew we wanted the help of a stager and got the names of quite a few. I had an initial consultation with the first name I was given. At the end of the first consult I was left with some suggestions but feeling very much on my own and really not sure what to do. Then I met with Leia. She was professional organized and extremely thorough. She worked within our budget and provided a very detailed plan. On the day of the install her team was professional prompt and on task. We listed our home on a Friday afternoon and by Monday morning had 17 viewings and six offers all above asking price. Our experience working with Leia and her team was phenomenal and I believe instrumental in getting us the number of viewings we did and offers well above our asking price. We don’t plan on moving again anytime soon but if and when we do, LTW Design will be the first call we make.

Extremely Personable + Delivered Above and Beyond

Our home was listed for a year prior to hiring LTW Design and had no luck. After meeting Leia during our consultation we trusted her and quickly realized we needed to hand her the reins. She and her team took over and within 2 weeks our home was painted and 90% of our furnishings were sent to storage and they brought in all new furniture of theirs that completely transformed our home. Not only did they change room layouts and colors, they hung new artwork and we started noticing beautiful details about our home that we had overlooked all these years. We can’t say enough about their bedside manner, punctuality and overall professionalism throughout this whole process working together. They are patient, experienced and took a lot of the weight off of our shoulders. We received two offers the first week and in this market we feel that is a true reflection of their talent and expertise since this same house had been listed for one full year before staging and had no offers then immediately after staging garnered offers. We highly recommend their services and we enjoyed working with them so much they are now designing our new home.

Fantastic sense of design, she is an Excellent Business Professional

Leia is wonderful to work with! She not only has a fantastic sense of design, she is an excellent business professional.  She know how long the job will take, she does what she says she will do the she says she will.  She is a true pleasure to work with.  Our client has a beautiful home and has it decorated for their personal style.  When it came time to selling the house, we wanted the bones of the house to shine through along with the gorgeous lake views.  Leia put together a plan and we took out most of the furnishings and replaced it with neutral, transitional furniture and now you see a gorgeous home shine through.  We are very happy to be marketing the home now and to be working with Leia!

Far exceeded my expecations!

I had such a wonderful experience with Leia Ward and her team at LTW Design.  We did a kitchen/dining area room renovation and I wanted some help with decorating it in a way that was both functional for our family and aesthetically pleasing.  From the first time we spoke on the phone and our initial meeting, I knew I had made the right choice with Leia and her team. We spoke about my tastes in home décor and my likes/dislikes.  When we met again, Leia was incredibly thoughtful in her presentation, laying out story boards of the three room ideas and was subsequently always responsive with any questions or changes I had.  The final product far exceeded my expectations!  My family is THRILLED with our new home and I would highly recommend LTW Design for designing a beautiful space within your home.

Goes Above and Beyond for her Clients

We couldn’t be happier with Leia. She has exquisite taste and a keen eye for design. We’ve received nothing but positive feedback on her staging and photographs.  Having worked with many staging companies in the area, it’s very rare to find someone like Leia who is not only incredibly talented, but who also goes above and beyond for her clients. We would highly recommend using LTW Design for any of your staging or photography needs.

LTW Design transformed my family room and bedroom from ordinary rooms to spectacular and comfortable settings by bringing in various accessories, draperies and area rugs to create rooms that are comfortable and showroom/magazine quality.

More Than I Could Have Wished For…

Our experience with LTW Design and Leia in particular was more than I could have wished for. Her taste is lovely.  She worked above and beyond to get everything in the space and remove what needed to be removed.  She always answered calls promptly and kindly.  She hired for us carpenters to do the extra bits and pieces we needed to get the house in it’s best selling condition. And she even came while the photos were being taken of the house for the realtor. She rushed to meet our deadline.  I would highly recommend working with her and the LTW team.  It will make a great difference as to how timely we sell our house.

— Anne, Homeowner

Multiple Offers within the First Few Days

As a realtor, I was looking for a fresh option for staging in our market and Leia was recommended to me by a colleague.  From initial consultation to final staging I found Leia to be knowledgeable, professional and a pleasure to work with.  The house went to multiple offers within the first few days.  I highly recommend Leia & LTW Design.

Professional, Creative, and Stays on Budget

AMAZING!  LTW Design just staged our home and it looks gorgeous, I don’t want to move! Leia is such a pleasure to work with and completely changed the look and feel of our house with her talented vision for space and design.  She is professional, creative and stays on budget. We have never staged a house before and after seeing the results we completely get it now. Staging works.  She had the vision to see what we couldn’t in our own house.  She made it look brighter and larger. We highly recommend her services, her team was on time and most of all she’s a lot of fun to be around.  We will use her to decorate our new home. Highly recommend.
