I knew that Beth Lester was a lovely person.  Also, I have seen her emails and have been impressed with her knowledge.  Until I actually worked with her, I had no idea of how creative she was and what an amazing eye she had for fixing problems.  She amazed both me and my client with her suggestions for making over a difficult living room and with every other room and outdoor space, she saw things that made a tremendous difference.  And she made everything fun.  She's relaxing to be around and you just feel an immense respect for her abilities.  I will hire her whenever I can.

Beth directed the placement of furnishings and artwork in my father-in-law’s new apartment.  In a few short hours she had the place looking great!  The pictures were expertly coordinated rather than placed in the haphazard way we would have hung them.  I highly recommend Beth to coordinate the move-in.  It is more efficient and less stressful and definitely worth her affordable fee.

Trying to decide where to begin was my big problem. I am home-decorating challenged, but Beth gave me the confidence to do the job.  She walked me through my house and helped me pick out kitchen vinyl, carpet, and paint colors that would work together.  As we went through each room, she told me what things to move out to “declutter”, and things to add and where to put them, ie. flowers and  pictures.  It was a lot of work, but when we had our open house, we couldn’t believe it was ours!  We felt like we lived in a model home.   I could not have done it without her help.

Dear Beth:

I can’t thank you enough for rolling up your sleeves and becoming my partner in a whirlwind transformation of my listing at 101 Via Colusa, Palos Verdes Estates.  With you on my team, I felt confident that we could accomplish an almost impossible task.  You agreed to help me even though I called you at the last-minute, it was a national holiday, and you already had prior commitments set up to attend a wedding. 

You assessed the job and gave input on what needed to be done.  You helped pick out the paint colors, which turned out beautifully.  As each room was painted, you followed behind and worked your magic with furnishings and accessories that were fitting for a designer home magazine.  You arrived early, stayed late, and even called in your family to lend a hand to get the job done in time for Sunday’s open house. 

You have a special gift of a soft presence, yet an ability to make intelligent decisions.  I am indebted to you for your willingness to take on this project, and beyond that for using your talents to transform it well beyond my expectations, in a mere 3 ½ days.  As if that weren’t enough, you took before and after pictures and created a real estate show with beautiful background music that I was able to upload to my listing with the click of the mouse.

More than just doing a good job, you model the true meaning of being a friend.  I feel honored to know someone of your caliber and would be happy to attest to your abilities to others.

Very sincerely,

Janet A. Stearns

I was hosting a holiday cookie party for my neighbors and had to get my house decorated before the event.  There were boxes of decorations stacked up everywhere and, with the party only a few days away, I knew I needed help. 

I placed an emergency call to Beth, who wasted no time springing into action putting our vision into place. 

Undaunted by the chaos, she forged ahead.  Creatively and masterfully, she used my decorations and displayed and coordinated them to make our home look festive and fun!  

I found her to be punctual, easy to work with, flexible, hard working and creative. 

I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to attractively stage their home for sale or for any kind of event.  Please do not hesitate to call me for further affirmation of her services.

Dear Beth,

Thank you so much for everything you have done – from helping me make my home for sale more appealing, to creating a cozy and comfortable “cottage” at the beach.  I am thrilled every day when I walk through my new home.

The house I moved into a year ago was just a house, but it didn’t feel like a home. Then Beth and her assistant came in and studied each room, took my furniture and put it into a more appealing setting. Beth used my family heirlooms to create a more modern look for us.

My family now experiences peace in our clutter-free environment.   I feel free to have friends come over now and am not embarrassed.

I am recommending Beth to every one I know who needs encouragement. Thank you for everything, Beth!!!

Dear Beth, 

Thank you sooo much for your help yesterday.  I'm feeling like we're making progress!  I love the changes!  It was so cute when my son got home yesterday.  At 10, I didn't even expect him to notice.  The minute he walked in he said "Wow!"  A great compliment to you!  My husband even said later that evening that he really liked it. 

You certainly have an eye for making an ordinary house far more appealing. I'm amazed that simply rearranging furniture, eliminating clutter and adding a few small accent pieces would make such a difference.  I feel like we are on our way to creating the "Aaah" effect!  I look forward to our next meeting.

Dear Beth,

Thank you for coming over in the midst of our construction chaos.  I have to say that you picked perfect colors for each of the living spaces which needed definition with color so they stand out as distinct spaces.  Finding colors that both my husband and I like is no easy task!  The colors I was looking at would not have gone well with the woodwork in our home and your help was definitely priceless.  As soon as the furniture comes back in, we will try your furniture arrangement ideas and then have you back to make the final touches.
