Stephen Rust Design Studio

Truth be told I haven't purchased their product. I'm familiar with Obelisk through working with them. Thus some might say that I am not properly credentialed to write a review on their amazing gallery and its presentation of the high quality furnishings, art (including many pieces by local artists), and textiles, which deserves five stars for the aesthetic home-run it achieves, that is, if one were to ask my humble opinion of it. Then there's my impression of the people who I met while performing my responsibilities at work. Every one of them deserves five of their own stars. Professional, knowledgeable, and sharing a mutual love for beautiful things, beautifully arranged in beautiful places, it's safe to say they all have an eye for this kind of thing. To bring it home, even though I may not be qualified to write a review on their services, I'm well qualified to write a review on my opinion and my opinion, as you can tell, is a very high one. If they nail everything that I could gather, I think it's safe to say that they would knock everything else out of the park as well.

Jenny has coordinated all of the finishes and decorating of the home we built in Des Peres. Jenny guided us with samples and advice for furniture, carpet, window treatments, light fixtures, cabinet hardware, flooring, paint colors, bathroom fixtures, and countertops. She ordered everything, coordinated with our builder, and even scheduled many of her trusted workers. On moving day, Jenny was at our new house to direct the movers with all rug and furniture placements. We could not have done this move without her. Jenny Rapp has our highest recommendation as a designer (and so much more)!!

Now THIS is the way shopping for your home should be! From the first time we walked in the door, we were welcomed and treated amazingly by Sally and Luke. So much to choose from and never any pressure. We had a good idea of the pieces that we wanted but had John and Luke come out to see our space, measure and give us feedback from an interior design standpoint. They gave us some other great ideas too. Delivery was prompt and they were meticulous when setting everything up. We HIGHLY recommend John Elliot Interiors and will be customers for years to come.

Jenny and her team are very professional and do beautiful work. They are easy to work with and are considerate of their clients budget, and time. They are very knowlegable about the fabrics and trims they select for their clients and chose beautiful textiles that when put together create a beautiful product. If you read some of the reviews that are not nice, check the history of the person who wrote them and you will discover they are giving everyone bad ratings.

Until recently I have only worked with Obelisk in conjunction with my own Architectural clients…but after working with them over the last year on a complete remodel of our personal home, I have developed an additional appreciation for their ability to work within the owners constraints and be a part of a collaborative team - which led to results far beyond our expectations. I highly recommend their services and had a great experience!
