Beth was fabulous at focusing, not just on the aesthetics but on the functionality of the space. They took my ideas and requests and pulled them together with excellent suggestions. They also made this the most headache free renovation by supplying an organized supply list for all the materials! > > I absolutely love the end product and it far exceeded my dreams! **Comment from Four Blocks South:** > Thank you so much for the review, Alicia! We loved working with you on this dramatic transformation! **★★★★★ — Dawn Maze, Feb. 2019** > We recently purchased an older home and did a large-scale renovation. Beth was there from the layout and design stage all the way to furniture and accents. We felt that she was fully committed to our project and she helped us to achieve a beautiful and functional result. She listened to us, respected our budget, and really made the whole process stress-free! **Comment from Four Blocks South:** > Thank you for the review, Dawn! We've so enjoyed working with you and your family and can't wait to share the photos!! **★★★★★ — Deborah Hawley Lay, Dec. 2018** > Four Blocks South was highly recommended to me by a friend and after an initial consultation I felt very comfortable hiring Beth to help me create a warm and cosy feeling in my new home. She and Leah used some of my existing pieces in addition to sourcing some new furniture and a carpet and came up with a fabulous design that exactly matched my needs, taste and budget. I was impressed by their efficient and professional attitude, their ability to listen and understand my own needs and their clear communication, both verbal and written. They were a pleasure to work with and I would not hesitate to recommend Four Blocks South for a positive experience in creating the room or home you wish for. **Comment from Four Blocks South:** > We loved working with you, Deborah! Hope you enjoy your space for many years to come! **★★★★★ — HU-305773621, Dec. 2018** > If there was an option for 6+ stars, Beth is more than deserving. > > Beth worked with us from design to execution. Her top notch service always made us feel like we were her most important client and she was truly invested in our renovation as a partner. She designed 2 gorgeous bathrooms and a kitchen from top to bottom and they are fabulous in both looks and function. She also worked with us to chose flooring, carpet, wallpaper, paint colours, lighting and other details throughout the house. > > Beth is a very unique designer because she is very skilled in the artistic / aesthetic aspects of design but she is also very technical so you know a plan or design will make sense. She is versatile and can work well with general a contractor and other trades and is always professional and helpful. > > Beth goes the extra mile for her clients - she supported us through some rough moments with her great contacts. > > I would hire Beth again - in a heartbeat. **Comment from Four Blocks South:** > Thank you so much, guys! The feeling is mutual. It was great working with you both and we are so happy that you love your space! Enjoy!! **★★★★★ — Matthew Frisch, Nov. 2018** > Beth from Four Blocks South was a pleasure to work with. She was both diligent and creative, and was very respectful of my budget and any practical requests and concerns that I had. She really cared about the end result of my project, and I always felt that the process between us was collaborative and productive. I'd have no reservations whatsoever about recommending Beth to anyone looking for a designer, and would very gladly work with her again in the future. Thanks again Beth! **Comment from Four Blocks South:** > Thank you so much, Matthew! We really enjoyed working with you and are so glad you love your new space! **★★★★★ — Suzanne LaPerriere, Nov. 2018** > Our experience with Four Blocks South was excellent. Beth is absolutely lovely, she understood the style that we were going for after just one conversation and made a ton of good suggestions. Beth helped us navigate the myriad of choices out there for sourcing products and we are very pleased with the results. Despite working with a very limited design budget we never felt pressured to make choices that we couldn't afford. I enjoyed every interaction that we had and I will certainly seek Beth out when we have work to do in the future. **Comment from Four Blocks South:** > Thank you so much, Suzanne! I really enjoyed working with you guys on your beautiful reno!! **★★★★★ — Beth Leverty, Oct. 2018** > Last year (Jun 2017-Jul 2018) we renovated our entire house. I definitely could not have tackled any of the design of the house without Beth's help. Beth is professional and is extremely hard -working. She understood my vision and respected our working budget. She is honest and responded immediately to any of my requests.. a true professional! She was extremely creative working with a very narrow layout. She maximized every inch for storage! My husband and I were amazed at her attention to detail. I cannot say enough good things about Beth. The entire process of working with her was a positive one. We are extremely thrilled and so pleased with how everything turned out. The interior design exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend Four Blocks South. We will definitely be calling Beth in the future when we have further interior plans to complete. **Comment from Four Blocks South:** > Thank you, Beth! It was a real pleasure working with you and your family! We hope you will be happy in your new home for many years to come. **★★★★★ — Casa Di Luce, June 2018** > Very smooth and easy working process! It is always a pleasure to work with a designer who has a vision of the project. Highly recommend. **★★★★★ — Omega Iron and Railings, March 2018** > We were hired by Beth and her company to fabricate and install an interior metal handrailing for her client. Beth was easy to work with, polite, reasonable and paid on time. We look forward to working with her again. **★★★★★ — Cheryl Crosby, Dec. 2017** > It was a pleasure from beginning to end to work with Beth from Four Blocks South. > She was always friendly, professional, detail oriented and excellent with following up. > We very much enjoyed the options she provided and love the final outcome! > Our master bedroom and ensuite bathroom have never looked so fabulous! **★★★★★ — cclairet, Nov. 2017** > FourBlocksSouth and their team have been amazing! Beth is an unbelievably talented designer who is an absolute pleasure to work it. Her work ethic is like no other! FourBlocksSouth created a vision that incorporated our taste with their expertise creating a magazine worthy space. Being on a time crunch, they were also incredibly efficient in presenting us with creative ideas and products, getting everything we needed to get done in such a short amount of time. The end result is absolutely beautiful, and they made it so easy! We could not be happier with our home renovation and decor and would highly recommend FourBlocksSouth! **★★★★★ — a\_mitschele, Nov. 2017** > The ladies from Four Blocks South went over and above for us. They “bent over backwards” to ensure that we were happy with their design ideas, and the end result was our dream home. Beautiful and comfortable. We are both visually impaired, and there was a lot of sensitivity put into the design of our home, with a thoughtfulness that translated into functionality for us, and a set up that worked for our own unique needs. > > We are very impressed with Four Blocks South, and would recommend them to anyone who is looking for top notch design, professionalism, strong customer service, and a beautiful and comfortable end result of their hard work. > > Our story is unique both because we are visually impaired, and because we moved twice, in a very short span of time. We hired Four Blocks South, because we were looking for someone to decorate our condo top to bottom (a new build at Yonge & Lawrence). and then discovered that we missed living in our rental at Yonge & St Clair. For the first move, they had “carte blache” about what was to be done with the place, while for the second move, we had some space to fill, so they came up with some great ideas for pieces that would fit right into our existing décor! We are extremely pleased that we hired Four Blocks South! ## Selected projects - [Leaside New Build Modern](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/leaside-new-build-modern-pj-vj~7185966) - Location: Toronto, ON - Photos: 25 - Description: Modern new build in Toronto - [High Park](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/high-park-pj-vj~6782343) - Location: Toronto, ON - Photos: 11 - [Classic Rosedale](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/classic-rosedale-pj-vj~6701921) - Location: Toronto, ON - Photos: 23 - Description: This grande dame of a home in Rosedale underwent a full renovation that included a re-imagining of the main floor plan, expanding the footprint of the kitchen and infusing a feminine colour palette and textures throughout. - [Allenby](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/allenby-pj-vj~5797970) - Location: Toronto, ON - Photos: 37 - [Basement Laundry Room](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/basement-laundry-room-pj-vj~6068716) - Location: Toronto, ON - Photos: 16 - [Downtown Loft](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/downtown-loft-pj-vj~5559852) - Location: Toronto, ON - Photos: 21 - Description: Our client for this remodel and decor project is a young entrepreneur in the fashion industry.
