Tammy came to us after a very stressful move. She is a very organized skilled designer. With not a single complaint, she went to work on an impossible task of making sense out of mislabeled boxes placed in wrong areas of the house. After she had finished in just 3 days, the house was not just organized but decorated. She has a good eye and a good sense of proportion. I will be using her again.

Mr. Yogi - How wonderful to read your review. Thank you so kindly! I'm looking forward to seeing and working with you again! Best wishes!!!

Steve Kiger

Tamara of LTB was absolutely fantastic! She helped me stage my house for sale, using mainly my own furniture and decorations, since my budget wasn't terribly large. In the end, she had the place looking like something out of a magazine article, at least to me, and she did it at almost exactly the price we discussed beforehand. She was professional, friendly, highly competent, on schedule, and a true pleasure to work with. If you're near LTB and need similar assistance, please give her a call. You will definitely not be disappointed.

February 2017 Review - Tamara did it AGAIN!!! WOW!!! She took old-and-run down-not-so-retro-more-like-junk and made it POP-DAZZLE-SPARKLE!!!! WOW!!! And everything is organized and exactly where I need it!! This very talented lady can do it ALL! She makes a home or space comfortable, functional, AND gorgeous. VERY HARD to do!! Even with a German Shepherd living in my home!! TAMARA is THE GO TO for ALL Design issues - color, fine fabrics, making old look new, flow, ideas, balance!! Great feeling with classy style!!! YOU ARE THE BEST FOR A REASON!!! Happy Repeat Customer!! Affordable Beauty and Style!!! LTB Designs is #1 !!! Oct 2016 Review - I see you as a mirror to my own soul's song. You brought out the colorful reflections of what I value most in life and used that to create an emotionally nurturing environment; harmonious and energizing; creative and peaceful. Joyful. Your professionalism and talent make you the best! I know my style makes sense to you! You make all my old favorites new again! From referrals to my clients, I know that no job is too large or too small for you- you make it all look fabulous - from cubicle office spaces to large country homes and city condos!

Tammy came to my house for a full day to do a redesign of my main floor. She was able to help me use the furniture and trinkets I already have to make my house look great! She not only gave me some wonderful ideas that fit my budget - she also took time to teach me about design - such as how high to hang pictures, the most aesthetic view for curtains, and how to add small details that really create a room. I loved that she gave me exact measurements for furniture, curtains and side tables, lamps, etc - so I don't have to guess. I'm slowly putting everything together - and I'm loving it. She really took her time and knows her stuff! I can't wait to send the pictures of my final put together rooms!

Hi Valerie. Thank you so kindly for your review. It was such a pleasure working with you and I'm glad we got you moving towards that vision of home that you have in your mind. I can hardly wait to see the pictures. Send some soon!

Tamara did a fabulous job on a 6 room 100 year duplex in Frederick. She literally removed over 8,000 pounds of debris - food, clothing, damaged furniture papers and undesignated, horrendous junk, which included a basement crammed with boxes of clothing, papers, decorative items, household junk. After removing the debris from the main levels she meticulously organized clothing in bureaus, in closets, cleaned drawers, disposed of expired food, cleaned an unsanitary refrigerator. She organized the pantry and devised a filing system for household papers. She set up filing systems and a desk area for me. Before her arrival, this house was a dusty chaotic shambles whose grace and beauty was buried. She did an extraordinary job of clearing, organizing, and creating a place of bedlam into a lovely home. She had to contend with my husband who is a mid-level hoarder. She dealt with him in a reasonable, yet assertive manner and has encouraged and helped us with specific actions to maintain order and beauty .She arranged and displayed photos, mementos and decorative objects in an elegant way, showing her expertise as an interior designer. She worked efficiently, carefully and diligently and helped us feel pride and pleasure in our home again. For the work on the basement she saved us thousands of dollars by. recruiting her son and another young man who came highly recommended and secured a dumpster, 18'D by 10W' x 4.5H". She spent much effort and time in finding a small enough dumpster that fit into our limited space. She researched prices and assembled a team which saved us a tremendous amount of money and time. They cleared the basement in 7 hours, also stripping out carpeting 22' by 10' plus cleaning and organizing a semi-dirty, chaotic bathroom and laundry. She and her helpers literally stomped on mounds of debris to insure that everything was removed today. I cannot praise her enough. I have already recommended her to a friend.

Hi Jane! Thank you so much for the outstanding review. You did such an amazing job... you were ready, willing and able to tackle this large project and you did so with enthusiasm, grace and an amazing focus on the end result. I know you are so proud of you and your home. I hope you enjoy all the guests that you can now entertain as well as the moments of tranquility, surrounded by all the things you love and cherish.

We hired Tamara to design a nursery for our baby boy. She took the time to really understand our style before putting together a wonderful design that fit in with the rest of our house. It was important to us that she use some pieces we already owned and she did so expertly. Tamara was able to put a well-designed room together in just a few weeks, right in time for baby's arrival. Not only was the quality of her work superb, she was a joy to work with- we enjoyed the process so much we are currently working with her on another room in our house.

Hi there! Thank you so much for taking the time out of your busy schedule, especially with a newborn, to write such a wonderful review. I am truly honored. You guys are the best!

I hired Tamara for her help with a renovation of my company's sky-box at Nymeo Field at Harry Grove Stadium, home of the Frederick Keys, the Baltimore Orioles minor league ball team. Tamara was a pleasure to work with and a professional from start to finish. She worked expertly within the constraints of a somewhat limited budget and rolled up her sleeves to get the job done during a several day break between home-stands after the season had begun, ensuring that we never lost the use of the box for any games. The final result gave us a space that was branded but not overwhelming, comfortable and homey with a classic baseball feel. I couldn't be happier with the entire experience and the final result!

Hi Barbara! Thank you for writing a glowing review. What an honor to be a part of such an important and fun project. Wishing you and the company good times in your new suite.

monica_scheuerman

Tamara is extremely professional and great to work with! She is reliable, hard-working, and has great ideas and endless energy. She will not stop working until the job is done and the customer is satisfied. I originally hired her to get a few rooms in my home organized- I am a mom of 5 small children. Finding time to organize is quite a task for me. She did an exceptional job- its organized and looks amazing! I also found out while she was working that she has a talent for decorating. So I hired her to add some flair to my kitchen, sunroom, and guest room. They look beautiful, inviting, and were completed within my budget. I can now have guests over and feel proud of my home!!! I cannot say enough about Tamara. She is the best! You won't be disappointed. She can do it all!

Hi Monica. Thank you so much for the exceptional review. I am honored with all of the things you spoke about. It was such a joy working with you and your family. Believe me when I say I'm just as impressed with you managing a big household and raising such a great family. I look forward to the next time we get to work together. Thank you again!

lee_platz

Tamara was so wonderful to work with. She spent time with us to understand our likes & dislikes as well as our overall goals for the room and then worked with us to incorporate our style with her design experience. She was extremely professional and gave excellent advice as well as consistent communication along the way.

Hi Lee -

Thanks so much for the review. You and your hubby were such a pleasure to work with and I'll never forget the excitement and sheer joy I heard in your voice when you called to say you loved it. I am honored that you have invited me to work with you on another room. See you soon!

We hired LTB Designs to help our business create a warm, beautiful and welcoming environment for our customers. We have been so pleased with the results and so have our customers - we have received so much positive feedback. Although we knew the feel of what we wanted, we had no idea what the space should look like - Tamara took our input and created an amazing space and we couldn't be more pleased - the smallest details she attended to make the biggest difference! She also coordinated the necessary contractors to make sure everyone was on track with the requirements and the vision and went above and beyond to make sure we met our deadline for our open house. Highly talented! And highly recommended!. Cindi Webb

Cindi, thank you kindly for the glowing review and for the opportunity to work with you and your team. What a fun and unique project to dive into, the first of its kind for me. To see it all come together and to see how thrilled you were with the outcome represents ultimate success in my book! I can hardly wait to see Phase 2 unfold!!!

Jamie DeMarco

Tamara did a wonderful job unpacking, organizing and decorating our kitchen, dining room, and living room areas. She was professional, reliable, and worked REALLY hard on our project. We really appreciated that Tamara was flexible with our specific needs and kept our budget in mind. Would highly recommend!
