She knows this industry inside and out and has built relationships with excellent vendors and suppliers because she takes great pride in putting her name behind her work. She is fair, honest, highly skilled, and attentive to every stage of a project. Whether you are updating a kitchen, bathroom, or an entire space, Tammy has an incredible eye for quality and design and communicates with you throughout the process. I recently visited her design shop and was blown away by the furniture, lighting, and unique pieces she carries. Her ability to find distinctive, conversational pieces that you simply don't see everywhere sets her apart. If you want quality work, experience, integrity, and exceptional design, I highly recommend Tammy and The Design Studio.

I wish Yelp had a negative star rating. The number of positive reviews here is surprising; we had a…read morevery different experience with this company. We hired The Design Studio to remodel our master bath in 2023; the work entailed removing the tub, enlarging the shower, adding a steam unit to the shower, tile and a bidet toilet. We were told the job would take 3-4 to complete; it was finally finished 3 1/2 months later. Construction delays happen, I understand that, but the delay became least of our problems. We had inspectors and contractors come back and we then realized we had much larger issues, which landed us in a lengthy, painful legal battle with this person. Most of the issues were around the shower glass and steam unit. The glass was to be floor to ceiling and 10 ft. high; it was installed incorrectly after many delays and breaking of the glass at one point. Rather than take responsibility for her subs she blamed them for everything and withheld payment to them to the point that one sub threatened to put a lien on our house. The steam unit took over an hour to get to temperature; we were told that was normal. Only after hiring an inspector did we learn that the steam unit was woefully underpowered for the size of the space, it should have been four times the output that this one was. The glass and steam unit were only part of our problems, we have incorrect wiring, substandard hardware and poor workmanship and mold beginning to form. Prior to discovering the full scope of work that would have to be torn out and re-done all I asked for from the Design Studio was a refund of the cost of the glass, we would get it replaced on our own. We were offered next to nothing in return so we decided to take it to court, a decision that we regret. We are not the type of people to sue, it is not something we have ever considered. We spent over 3 years in the system with delayed court dates, failed mediation and a large amount of money in legal fees. When we finally got our day in court the trial never started. The judge asked why we hadn't settled then suddenly she was ready to settle, AFTER THREE YEARS!!! After a very short negotiation between attorneys, we came to a settlement. The agreed settlement was far from what we had spent but at least it was over, at least we thought. When the time came for her to sign the judgement, she informed the judge that she would be filing for bankruptcy, leaving us with nothing except an expensive bathroom that needs to be remodeled correctly and a large dent in our bank account. I hope this helps someone make an informed decision when hiring a contractor, all of this and more are in writing in emails, text messages and public records. Be very cautious of The Design Studio, Tammy Hamilton or Hammertown, her company that she previously bankrupted.

Kim Armstrong is a phenomenal designer and a pleasure to work with. Not only does she create…read morebeautiful original spaces but she has an amazing ability to pull ideas from even a "designed-challenged" person like me, and was able to guide me effortlessly through the decision process. I needed help with the overall look and feel, layout, and product selection of a master bedroom and guest bedroom, plus advice on some window coverings. I chose the Design Concierge service which ended up being a great fit as I did not need the full-service option. The whole process was very smooth and efficient. A key step to her approach is the initial consultation which Kim does in advance of the full day of design at the house. I sent some pictures of the rooms in advance as well as some photos I had pinned from a home design site. She used the time on the call to discuss my goals for the project and to ask lots of questions to get a feel for my style. Kim came to our in person design day a few days later already armed with targeted, creative ideas and with a good sense of what would be appealing to me. You could tell she had done a good deal of prep work in advance. We tackled one room at a time starting with her taking measurements and inputting them into a CAD program so it would be easy to slot existing and new items into the floorplan. Kim has a wealth of knowledge about products and vendors so she easily came up with multiple options for each decision. She would then place each items I had decided on into the design board right on the spot, so I would not be struggling to visualize how everything will look together. I felt like I was not giving her much to go on in terms of feedback but she was able to quickly zero in on what resonated with me, and offered options in different price ranges. While I never felt like she was pushing me into a direction I wasn't comfortable with, she did encourage me to go a bit out of my comfort zone and consider things that would never have entered my mind (which is kind of the point, right?) Kim is ultra-focused and extremely efficient. I really don't know how she covered as much ground as she did on the day she was here, I felt like she made the most of every minute . As a result we even had time at the end of the day for her to tackle a few random one offs that had been bugging me for years and even pick out paper, paint and light fixtures for laundry room The day was a whirlwind but oh so fun! Within less than a week of our meeting she sent me the completed design boards along with an item-by-item list of the products we had selected along with links directly to the vendor sites. She also included detailed instructions /work orders to give to for example the firm making the custom draperies and floor plans so I could remember where everything goes. This made the implementation so easy. I am so pleased with the overall result and the whole process. I highly recommend Kim Armstrong!

Kim Armstrong and her team knocked my socks off. I always wanted to live in a high rise and have a…read moregreat view of the skyline. But, when I found the perfect place, it immediately dawned on me that this place needed professional touch to make it perfect. Kim and her team began by inspecting my blank canvass pad and interviewing me for about an hour. There questions were not directed towards what type of fabrics and colors that I like, but instead, were focused on my interest in music, art, etc. They took my input and went to work. I received great PowerPoint presentations and graphical layouts for what they intended to do with my place. Then, as my place began to take shape, they were open to my input and I was open to theirs. In the end, my apartment turned out amazing. I do not think there is a single think in my home that I would have picked out myself, but there is not a single thing in my place that I do not love and doesn't get rave compliments. Kim and her team worked within my budget, were easy to work with, and I highly recommend them. And, while they tended to do more classical design, they gleefully took on my "modern" project. Here's a link to some work they did along with some comments from my friends. If you're looking to do something modern, post modern, or mid-century contemporary, feel free to check out my place. I like them so much that you can even stop by if you're thinking about hiring them and check out their work in person. http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150694005637673.444559.683167672&type=3&l=5bf0243f3b
