I've been PIMPED!…read more When I purchased my new house, it needed some upgrades (major upgrades). Elements Design Studios is what helped me turn my boring house into the pimpin' pad it is today. Tracy, my designer, helped plan and design my kitchen, master bathroom, guest bathroom, upstairs bathroom, as well as picking out the paint scheme and flooring for the entire house. The service she provided was excellent. She was available at all hours to answer any questions I had. They provide full service (get your mind out of the gutter), she even helped me order and pick up a lot of the materials I needed like tiles, appliances, furniture, etc. My house now looks totally new and worth a million bucks, even in this crap market we have. I totally recommend using Elements Design Studios for any of your future housing projects. Thank you Elements Design Studios for pimpin my house!

I can't wait to have her design my next spot.

I wish I had taken more photos of the inside, but the design inside is spectacular. Truly a lot of thought was put into the layout. We were greeted immediately upon entering and offered coffee or water. We all met in the conference room which is spacious and from what I can remember, can house about 12 people. We are working with Aaron, Wylene, Jeff and Esther and they are just fantastic to collaborate with. They are patient with us as we describe our vision and make our ideas come to life on screen and paper within a matter of minutes. I particularly love Wylene because she is so real! She knows what's happening with other projects and brings ideas I never would have imagined. SIM is on some big, BIG projects. To see the initial renderings compared with the final product is like HGTV Property Brothers. LOL
