Client Testimonial:

"I spoke to my physical therapist yesterday about my phenomenal experience w/you & your team……maybe she’ll look you up. I told her all I did was give you a wash cloth w/some embroidery on it that represented my style & the final product turned out fabulous….. totally me! I know this is long but I should tell you that I've received amazing comments on the paint palette, the incredible work done & attention to details, the kitchen blows people away & my bathroom tile just puts them in awe!!! Anyways, I can’t thank you enough for this whole project. We will soon be cracking open the champagne!"

Really fun project in White Bear Lake! Imagine you had a small kitchen that backed up to a wall and the other side of the wall was your small dining room. Imagine taking that wall down and making it one big kitchen!
Really fun combo of white, rich brown, touch of blue, with copper accents!

Elements and Principles is moving.......to the basement!!!
Albeit working from home is nothing new to me, this very fun office system I just designed is! Can’t wait to move into the new space.
With so many more people, both adults and kids, working from home, there is a desk shortage from the retail folks! Why not customize a space like this in your home???

How GREAT it feels to get messages like this a year after a completed project!

“Hi Andy (and, by extension, Bob) and Emily,

I’ve been wanting to write to you folks for some time, especially every time we host a small to very large dinner/family gathering (23 is tops so far). As we work in this well organized and beautiful kitchen and serve in our now level dining room, I am thankful for all your planning and hard work that made this possible. When I thank God for his goodness, He keeps tapping me on the shoulder and saying, “You should tell Andy, Bob, and Emily how thankful you are.” I know He is right and frankly, that tapping is getting annoying. So Nancy and I say again, “Thank you so much for this great project that has served us so well.” You are always welcome to stop over to see it again, to show it to your spouses, or to use it for an example of the great work you do. Hope you are having another good year that still leaves some time to relax..... and not just with ‘Gunsmoke’ at lunch.”
