We moved into our house in Sacramento a little over a year ago, and it was a massive upgrade from…read morethe various tiny apartments/rental houses my wife and I have lived in over the years. That said, while a big space upgrade is always welcome, it meant that our house felt very... empty, something that wasn't helped with the smattering of mismatched furniture we'd acquired over the years from Ikea or relatives. Enter Leah. We chose her on recommendation from a friend whose house she curated with a look we loved, so we wanted to see how she could help us establish a design vision and a cohesive aesthetic for our home. She was super professional and prompt in all of her communication, was never late to a meeting, and proactively checked in with us the whole way through to make sure we were getting what we needed. On top of all of that, my wife and are literally died with joy when Leah showed us the beautiful aesthetic she hand-picked for our home. She helped us think of ways we could arrange our furniture and accent our theme (coastal modern-farmhouse btw) with both super simple tweaks as well as very tastefully chosen furniture pieces for each room. It has helped my wife and I develop our own new style that we've already applied to other rooms throughout the house! Overall, hiring Leah was a great decision, and we couldn't be happier with the direction she's helped us build for our home!

We have been…read moreworking with Rebecca and Leah for the past two years (we took a break in between phases) and we finally completed our entire remodel. During our first phase we did both bathrooms and our kitchen. You can see the professional photos of the first phase of our remodel here: https://rwarddesign.com/portfolio/light-filled-luxury/ It was really great to work with Rebecca. My wife and I were impressed with how quickly Rebecca learned our tastes and when we decided to do the second phase, which included all new furniture, everything that Rebecca picked out was perfect-the first time. We really appreciated that Rebecca worked hard to make sure that our home looked awesome but reflected our style, not what she thought our style should be. We had a couple of furniture pieces that were passed down from my mother and grandmother that we wanted to keep. The style did not fit with our new space but Rebecca had them refinished with a more modern look that worked perfectly with our new furniture. We have been continually amazed at the Rebecca Ward Design team's ability to design spaces that we absolutely love. We bought our home in 1998 and raised both of our boys in this home and our original design was definitely utilitarian. We told Rebecca that we were ready for a "grownups" home and what she designed is both beautiful and super cozy. There isn't anything we would change-from the flooring, to the furniture, to the fixtures, to the paint colors, to the accessories. We love it all. Thanks Rebecca and Leah!

They listened to my needs and were amazing at giving me different choices and at times making changes to the plan to suit my taste. I was astonished at how Rebecca was able to integrate my great Grandmother's Asian table into the scheme as it has tremendous sentimental value to me. They asked what my budget was and they stayed within that budget. Everyone who walks into my home now are truly amazed and shocked at the transformation. Both of these designers are professional but personable too. I truly miss seeing their smiling faces once the process was finished. I would say that staging day was my favorite as they come in with all kinds of accessories that bring each room to life. I would not hesitate to hire them for another project. You won't be disappointed and you'll be as pleased as I was when it's all complete. Please realize these photos were taken with my phone camera, so definitely not professional photos. Much prettier in person. Update 5-1-18 Rebecca had been searching for the perfect abstract painting to go over my silver mirrored Buffett. It arrived today and we truly love it!

We were so very fortunate to have Sophia's aesthetics and expertise as she staged our home for sale. In olden days, curb appeal was essential. Presently, however, the majority of buyers begin their property search online before even setting appointments to view properties. So instead of "curb appeal" we needed the wow factor of a beautifully staged home with incredible pictures and videos online to get buyers' attention. Sophia and her team from Nested With Style did a remarkable job staging our home for sale. Not only did Sophia execute a consistent design plan, but she provided beautiful furniture and décor items that transformed our home from "beautiful" to spectacular--it's never looked so incredible! We are convinced the staging was a big part of why our home received SIX offers over price within SIX days of listing. We accepted an offer $125,000 over listing, and the house sold in just 7 days--amazing. We are convinced this would have never happened without Sophia's vision for staging our home. We highly recommend Sophia/Nested With Style for your staging needs. You will NOT be disappointed. Katherine & David L.

The cabinets were super builder grade and were falling apart. In August 2020, we decided to give our house an update. I found Heather through Yelp. I didn't think I could afford her, but to my surprise I could! We met with Heather in person. She wore a mask the whole time, which I appreciated. She listened to our ideas, we walked through our house, she gave recommendations, and then she went home and went to work. I did my own homework and shared my Pinterest ideas with her. After that, she recommended lighting, paint colors, and contractors. She recommended Luxury Vinyl Plank flooring, which we loved and ended up installing. I was really undecided on a countertop. She took the time to FaceTime with me while I was at Bedrosians and helped me finalize my decision. We absolutely love everything Heather was very friendly, definitely knowledgeable, and helped me make a house into a home. Thank you Heather and good luck on your new adventures. April 2021: I just have to write a quick update to praise Heather again. For a nominal hourly fee she helped me choose a paint color to help my beautiful front door stand out. She confirmed that I wasn't crazy in wanting to paint the porch ceiling black, and helped me with a decorative question. Thank you again Heather. I appreciate you.

I've seen some of Heather's work through her social media, including the exterior design service and I knew I wanted to work with her. She was so pleasant to work with. She went over the process with me, took pictures of the exterior and then we talked about the look I was going for. She listened and went home to work on this project. I was shocked when she sent over the rendering of our home with the colors she chose! It absolutely changed the entire look of the home, from dowdy to modern, but not too modern, and so chic!! It was worth every cent! If you're looking to give your current home a face-lift, give Heather a call! Thanks for your help on this matter! I hope we can work together again on something else!

Condensing, sorting, designing, rearranging and adding finishing touches to his home so that it was staged to sell. He'd initially had it listed for 6 months with minimal interest. Once Impressions ReDesign came in and and took charge it had an offer within 2 weeks of re-listing it. Also when we were selling our home, we again worked with Impressions ReDesign to help us with staging. Nice, clean, simple and inviting. She took what we had, removed some of it and rearranged the rest. Our house sold very quickly. (See pics) She's fantastic at what she does, and also is a pleasure to work with. A rare combination. When it comes to design, she really listens, takes your preferences to heart, and then works with that to create results that you'll just love. I highly recommend Impressions ReDesign for all of your decorating needs.

We've worked closely with Irit and J.I.L for two major home remodeling projects and couldn't be happier. The first was a large kitchen remodel ten years ago and everything still works great and looks beautiful. The most recent was a major remodel involving three bathrooms, a family room, a bar area, and four bedrooms. She transformed these spaces from dated rooms to gorgeous areas that let in new light by adding windows, double sliding doors, custom cabinetry and more. Irit and her team were always professional, upbeat, reliable, and honest. When the unexpected would occur from time to time (as is known to happen in any complicated remodel), Irit was responsive, reassuring, and always found a solution.
