### Reviews

**★★★★★ — HU-42536582, Nov. 2020**

> We are so grateful to Leia and the LTW Design team for transforming certain parts of our house that we have not been able to get right, despite several of our own attempts over the last 10 years.  Leia has a clear vision and knows what works. We couldn't have been more impressed with the entire team's responsiveness to emails,  beautiful design presentation, organization throughout the design process and care in selecting pieces that work for our space -- they are complete professionals from head to toe and a dream to work with!
> \- Kristy and Chris, homeowners

**Comment from LTW Design:**

> It was so much fun working with you on your project!! We loved seeing the kids jump on the new sofa...it’s kid approved!

**★★★★★ — HU-241176207, March 2020**

> Truly Amazing! I can’t say enough about Leia and her entire team. From our initial consultation to the sale of our house when they removed all of their staging items it was a seamless experience for our family. We found Leia to be extremely knowledgeable and we appreciated that she had our best interest as her first priority.  She immediately knew what would and wouldn’t work in our house, her response time was always fast and remained consistent throughout the duration of our project with her - but most of all our house never looked better. We received an offer the second weekend it was listed and in this market we know it was all bc of her talented guidance and expertise. We highly recommend LTW Design, Leia is smart, reliable, professional and was really a true pleasure to work with.

**★★★★★ — Moriah Monsif, May 2019**

> 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 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.

**★★★★★ — barn1, May 2019**

> 3 Offers in The First Week!!
> We are beyond happy with the services provided by LTW design. Leia is fantastic, we found her to be extremely knowledgeable and professional. We initially hired the company for a pre-lisitng consultation and then continued with a full staging. Leia provided everything we needed to prepare our home for sale (paint color, light fixtures, what to remove, etc). Her team brought in their furnishings and wow! What a transformation. We had 3 offers the first week and the buyers ended up in a bidding war. We know that if we didn’t have Leia’s expertise, the outcome would be very different. Thank you, thank you, thank you. We cannot say enough about how easy and seamless the entire experience was. We highly recommend LTW Design.

**Comment from LTW Design:**

> Thank you! It was such a pleasure working with you guys and congratulations on the quick sale!

**★★★★★ — Paul Harris, Sept. 2018**

> Working with Leia has been a pleasure. She's highly professional with a great eye for detail.
> Our homes are unique and specific, and Leia seems to capture that essence with little direction. The furnishings & materials that she brings to the site are a beautiful complement for our interior environments.
> We will continue to work together in the future.

**Comment from LTW Design:**

> Thank you, Paul!  What a pleasure it was working with you on Brush Island. You built a spectacular house and we were honored to design the staging for it. We look forward to working together again.

**★★★★★ — annejoyce33, April 2018**

> 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 too. I would highly recommend working with her and LTW. I think it will make a great difference as to how timely we sell our house.

**Comment from LTW Design:**

> Thank you Anne! It was such a pleasure working with you. I just love your property and can’t wait to see how fast it sells. Im so thrilled to be a part of the process.

**★★★★★ — Dianne, April 2018**

> Leia's manner of delivering a lovely presentation along with her professional eye are outstanding. LTW staged my listing with style, strong elements and a personal service touch. I look forward to our next project together!

**Comment from LTW Design:**

> Thank you Dianne! So happy it sold so fast.  I look forward to our next one too...

**★★★★★ — Leonard Marx, April 2018**

> Houlihan Lawrence sent me staging proposals from a number of firms. After going on the excellent LTW internet site, it was very obvious to me that LTW should have the contract. This is a newly built very upscale property at The Harbor in Greenwich.
> Leia T. Ward had experience in staging such luxury homes for numerous builders. Her vision of my property with its 3 waterfront terraces (including a full outdoor chefs kitchen, fireplace and large hot tub) were key selling features. Her exquisite taste, selection of furnishings and accessories were excellent.  A very satisfied client.

**Comment from LTW Design:**

> Thank you for the positive review Leonard! What a beautiful property to stage, we had a blast and I’m so happy you are pleased.

**★★★★★ — Bilotta Kitchen & Home, Feb. 2018**

> Bilotta designer, David Arnoff, had the pleasure of working with Leia Ward of LTW Design on a client’s kitchen. As a company specializing in luxury home staging, Leia is the perfect asset to any design project in any part of the home. She has an eye for even the smallest of details which makes for a beautiful overall living space. Her expertise in visualizing what the end result should look like made her the perfect partner in the project she and David worked on together. She is very perceptive to what the client wants, even beyond the cabinet design and layout, and was able to translate that into bringing a dream kitchen to life. We made the perfect team ending with a beautiful, classic, clean and crisp space that the client will enjoy for decades to come.  Leia is a true professional, organized and a delight to work with. We hope to work with her again in the future! – Bilotta Kitchens

**Comment from LTW Design:**

> Thank you for a wonderful review Bilotta! What a great teamwork. I look forward to collaborating with you again soon!!

**★★★★★ — Stacey Oestreich, Nov. 2017**

> Leia and her team are top knotch professional stagers. Leia has a natural talent for whipping a room into shape.  Her talent is nothing short of magic. Her team is highly efficient and careful with moving. We were pleasantly suprised that they got the job finished in less time than we expected and on budget.

**★★★★★ — Nancy Strong, Oct. 2017**

> Leia is wonderful to work with!  She not only has a fantastic sense of design, she is an excellent business professional. She knows how long the job will take, she does what she says she will do when she says she will. She is a true pleasure to work with.  Our client has a beautiful home and had it decorated for their personal style. When it came to selling the house, we wanted the bones of the house to shine through along with the gorgeous lake view.  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!

**★★★★★ — debra phillips, July 2017**

> Leia was delightful to work with! Energetic, enthusiastic and great ideas. Leia is incredibly organized - process could not have been easier and the results made a huge impact on how the property shows. Look forward to working with her again!
