Studio B. Elements is a full service architectural interior design firm. Our philosophy is simple: We create environments for living. THE VISION.

The design of a space can evoke emotion; bring peace, joy, and inspiration into a person's life. I believe everyone should have access to good design at an affordable price whether it is a 300 square foot studio or 3000 square foot home. Design does affect your well-being. 


 We are committed to personal service and extraordinary design and work closely with our clients to address their design challenges and to find solutions. Our objective is to make the design experience easy and functional, ensuring that the finished project meets our firm’s high standards and surpasses our clients' expectations. 

We are “process minded” and use a systematic method to create beautiful and functional environments. Through the use of computer imagery we produce high quality construction documents that include three-dimensional renderings and video walk-throughs of our projects. This imagery assists our clients to integrate and visualize their desires in our design process. 

Our services have included unique design solutions for both residential and commercial projects. We are well versed in construction document development, construction management services, disability access assessment and environmental sustainability.

Whether the design is simple or complex, we are passionate about making your home function well and enhance life!

**★★★★★ — staleytreat, Dec. 2015**

> Bobbi is so wonderful to work with. She designs beautiful livable spaces that are warm and inviting. She listens to what you want and designs with you in mind.

**★★★★★ — B duBois, Aug. 2015**

> Bobbi is an incredibly talented design professional. She is extremely knowledgeable in every phase of a major remodel and mine was down to the studs. She has an amazing eye for design and aesthetics and is incredibly creative, regardless of the style you are after from zen to contemporary to traditional. I couldn't have gotten through this major project without her talent and support. She's really been my advocate. I could have been so overwhelmed by the hundreds of thousands of decisions and choices but she made it a joyful process. She understands your vision and needs and using both her design and web skills, finds exactly the right options for you to choose from. She knows when to push you out of your comfort zone and when to back down and go with it. I've taken her advice pretty much 100% of the time because she's that good. She's wonderful to work with; patient with the client and demanding of the vendors. She has very high quality standards and strong ethics and will work hard to save you money while getting you the look you want.  I couldn't recommend her more highly and have wound up working with her on every phase of our project, inside and out.

**★★★★★ — heatherheaps, Nov. 2014**

> Complete remodel of living/dining area plus front entrance, sunroom.  Also added a walled garden, etc.
> Professional designer with artistic concepts and designs.  Also found our furniture.  Could not have created this wonderful living space without Bobbi.

**★★★★★ — sblackwood1, March 2014**

> Working with Bobbi Tone and Studio b. elements was amazing. She designed, set up the construction, and oversaw all details of our remodel. Bobbi considerably narrowed down our decision-making processes, which helped us so much (being people who have difficulty in making decisions!). Examples; she gave us three choices in cabinetry 5-6 choices in paint colors, 4 choices in flooring. With so much out there, it was overwhelming, but she took great effort in finding out what our likes were, then was able to find things for us that FIT us. She worked well with each of the sub-contractors, and had connections with so many people in the design community. We highly recommend Bobbi, loved working with her. She created an environment for our living.

**★★★★★ — bcanepa, Jan. 2014**

> Bobbi Tone, CEO of studio b. elements, is an amazing designer and so very personable. My wife and I renovated our home and were down to the studs. At every step of the way Bobbi was consistent in finding us the best products for the best prices. Sometimes that meant changing the plan. Now this is a good thing, although I did not always embrace those changes, each one made sense and after two years of living in our renovated home, I am so very thankful that I listened to Bobbi and my wife in their insights. Several of our friends who have visited throughout the past two years have commented on the cohesiveness and comfortable flow to our home and Bobbi's design. Each wishes they had used Bobbi in their home renovations. Always ahead of schedule and making sure all moved smoothly during the entire process, Bobbi left nothing undone and all went as planned . . . and as I understand it, that is a unique situation in renovations and designs. Call her.

**★★★★★ — vbkriho, Nov. 2012**

> The designer worked with me over the phone and internet.  She provided my with excellent ideas for remodelling my kitchen.  She always listened to my ideas, too.  She was polite, considerate and reliable. I would recommend her to anyone.

## Community Q&A

**Q: Where is the headboard from?** *(in Photo Questions)*

Dogs look great in this photo and blend perfect w the color scheme!!

A: It was from West Elm, but I don't think it is still available.

**Q: love the chandelier, what is the brand** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: Hi Velve,
It was from Ballard Designs, here is a link to the 12 light Lourdes, but it looks like the smaller version I used on this project is no longer available. http://www.ballarddesigns.com/lourdes-12-light-chandelier/lighting/chandeliers-pendants/214725
Hope this helps,
b.

**Q: where did you find the table?  what size?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: Hello again...this table is from Restoration Hardware, https://www.restorationhardware.com/catalog/category/products.jsp?cellBackground=false&link=17thCMonasteryCollection-BlackAcacia&categoryId=cat2070012
Thank you for inquiring,
b.

Who made the wine racks?  Thanks!

A: Wine Racks are from Wayfair.com. A series of 3 were installed side by side to create a wall of wine. Click above to link to the site.
Thanks for inquiring,
studio b. elements

**Q: area rug** *(in Photo Questions)*

where is the area rug from?

A: It is from Flor, here is a link to the product...http://www.flor.com/sweater-weather-pearl.html
This is a modular, sustainable product that comes in 19 x 19 inch squares, if something is spilled, no problem, you can pick up and take right to the sink to wash off, I use it often for young families. There are knock offs of this product; however, the backing is quite heavy and is made to keep the squares in place...I haven't found a product that compares to the Flor quality. Check out their site to learn more and see all the great styles and colors.
