Stylish Interiors

If i had the ability to leave 0 stars, I would. We were referred to Justin when we bought our home in 2017. Ended up working with John (Who has tons of experience in this industry as we have been told.) My wife fell in love with the Karndean Vinyl plank. John came to the property for measurements and to give an inspection for the job. We were told we would need to use self leveling concrete to get the entire area level. Its an old house with an old slab, we were ok with that. John saw the state of the floor, and the issues with the slab at that point. Install came and went. Fast forward to 2020 when we started noticing places where the flooring was beginning to raise up at the seams. I reached out to get someone here to take a look. no one was available due to Covid, I understood that. Last month we realized we still hadn't heard from anyone so I called back. I Happened to get John (The original sales guy), i explained the issues. Without skipping a beat, he told me its probably Alkali seeping up from the foundation, and that he sees this Often. He set a time to come over a couple days later and confirmed this was the case. He told me with the old slabs that didn't have a vapor barrier this is a common issue. I asked him how it can be avoided, and he said the only way was to use a floating flooring instead of a direct glue-down product. I asked him why this wasn't mentioned before we purchased the flooring and install, he said it was because those products are new. (I know this is not true.) He told me none of this was covered under warranty because the flooring is fine, my slab and the product choice is the issue. After this meeting I called to get ahold of the owner Justin Holliday. After a week, I got a call back. After walking through the entire issue and previous conversation with John, Justin advised me that if they noticed issues when they were inspecting, they would have advised against the flooring. Justin essentially told me to kick rocks, they weren't responsible. I WAS told they would be happy to sell me new planks, get people out here to clear the Alkali and re-install where needed. But I would have this issue again in 3-5 years. After doing research on Alkali and flooring, I can say without a bit of reservation that John did know that I had an Alkali problem. I was in the process of removing Carpeting in the areas that were being re-floored. John was there to see the white powder on the concrete in patches (Alkali). The fact that we spent so much on this flooring that looks terrible is sickening. The entire issue could have been avoided with some direction and recommendations by an "Expert". Sadly, I think they were just after a sale of a high end product. After they have your money, you are on your own folks. Buyers Beware. Justin and John are bad business.

Tina from Elements was amazing to work with and my wedding flowers were exactly what I hoped for!!! She helped me make my vision come to life and it was absolutely beautiful! Tina was helpful and offered feedback and expertise throughout the whole planning process making it so much easier for me. Tina and her team came on the day of my wedding and hung fabric draping, decorated my wooden arch, and hung the flowers, which all turned out perfectly!! I would highly recommend Tina at Elements Design Studio if you are looking for flower and/décor for any event or wedding!! (Photo Credit: Bricks Photography, Brookings SD)

Highly recommend!!! Tina EXCEEDED my expectations by far. I gave her a couple of inspiration photos and she completely nailed it. Trust her!! I had made some dried flower bouquets for tables and chair decorations and for my boutonnières. She took elements of those and incorporated it with the fresh flowers she did and they went together so well. The arbor flowers she made for us were my favorite of all. So perfect for our look, so boho and amazing, seriously fit our style to a T. Also, her pricing is super reasonable. Worth every penny.

Love Justin, the shop and his installers! Selection in the shop is amazing as is the staff’s knowledge of what they have and what options there are. We used them for our new home and I loved how they worked with us on installation options. The installers are great. Can’t wait to move in and enjoy their handiwork!! Update with a few more pictures!! Another update as I just had them do a small job to update the space where we feed our dogs. How fun is this space!

Our bridal party bouquets were perfect and exactly what I asked for. I sent Tina some inspiration photos and she nailed it! While communication at times was subpar, it was justified due to the postponement of our wedding and her business, like many, being affected by Covid. She had a wide variety of rental options and was punctual the day of the wedding. We would recommend Tina and Elements Design Studio for your wedding needs!
