Inspiration to Pursue a Design Career:  I’ve considered myself an artist as long as I can remember; even constructing paper houses for my [also paper] dolls. It's only natural to apply these lifelong proclivities to a profession, and to create positive change for my clients. Design is form & function; representative of our personalities & lifestyle.

3 Words that Describe Me:  flexible – direct – analytical

The moment we walked into the Vernon Hills store we knew we were in the right place. Beautiful furniture and set-up. Liza S. "our" designer was simply terrific. She listened to our "narrow house" challenges, asked great questions, sketched the space and guided us to the perfect sofa. The Milford sofa is stylish and comfortable. And affordable. Liza was helpful, knowledgable and just lovely to work with - thank you Liza!

And the delivery men - superb. They arrived early - great! Smiles on their faces - friendly and helpful. They moved the HEAVY old couch to it's new room and somehow got the new Milford sofa into the house and set up with ease. They even fluffed up the pillows! Wonderful professonials and super nice.

We highly recommend WES for their extraordinary customer service, fine products and great staff.

Over the years we have shopped at Walter Smith and have always been pleased with the service, the diversity of product and the care and concern exhibited by the sales staff in addressing our needs. Our recent experience with Liza Soliman has exceeded our every expectation. She was patient, knowledgeable, eager to meets our needs by laying out different options and always courteous setting a tone that we were her most important customers. Her follow is commendable, responding to emails and calls sooner than anticipated. Other furniture establishments may offer the same product however, with employees like Liza Soliman, Walter Smithe will always have the competitive edge.  -Linda H
