Samantha and I have collaborated together on several projects over the last few years. Her responses to our project requirements and her ability to deliver on both creative concept and a high-quality product have made her, and Studio 2b an important asset to my design practice.

Samantha is one of the most creative, “out of the box” thinkers I know!

Samantha was fun to work with! She provided creative solutions and opportunities for alternative materials and products. Her connections with her suppliers and her prior use of alternative products made using these products simple and with striking results!

I recently had such a positive experience at 'studio 2b' that I forced myself to take the time to provide feedback to the Yelp community. First of all, I'm a customer service super-freak! I have very high expectations of the way businesses should treat and serve their 'hopefully' valued customers and prospects. Studio 2b more than exceeded my expectations. Samantha and Allen Bates, the owners of Studio 2b, should give seminars on how to run a business. If they did I would send my management team and employees to learn from them. Yes, my experience was 'that' positive. I am in the process of doing research for my next new build. This will be my first contemporary home so I had 'lots' of questions. I tend to be an information sponge before purchasing anything new. I'm very methodical in my information gathering as I prefer to eliminate as many surprises (i.e. disappointments) as possible before I start the design and construction process. Samantha and Allen answered my 100's of questions with aplomb. They simply love to share their passion and experience with high end contemporary kitchen & bath design and home furnishings. They were extremely patient with me, always taking the time to thoroughly demonstrate every cabinet, appliance, bell & whistle and piece of furniture I inquired about. The 'studio 2b' showroom is chock-full of leading-edge displays and merchandise, well-planned, organized and squeaky clean. All things that are important to me. If you're in the market for a very cool contemporary kitchen or bath, or maybe just shopping for the perfect modern chair and reading lamp, stop by the Studio 2b showroom for a visit. I promise you it will be worth it.

My friend and I met Allen and Samantha on the Denver Modern Home Tour. Their house was featured on the tour, and definitely a favorite. A lot of the products in their house are in their showroom, too. What was super cool, though, was how much time they spent with each person who came in. They are clearly passionate about modern furniture and kitchens, especially. Yesterday my friend and I went to their showroom to gather more information for my future home, and once again, they spent over an hour with us, showing us around the entire showroom. They treat you like you're old friends, and love to share their knowledge and passion. It's so obvious that they are also great artists because the showroom space will knock your socks off. I recommend this as an outing for anyone who might want to see some over the top Poggenpohl Kitchens, Italian designed bathrooms (with aromatherapy and color therapy in the showers), and to meet a really great, warm, welcoming couple. Of course, I also recommend them to ANYONE looking for a modern aesthetic in their house, but also for unique solutions to small spaces. I can't wait to work with them. This is not just a job for them. It's a lifestyle, and they love to share it.

Studio 2b has a new showroom and it's awesome. You have to go if you are looking for anything regarding modern or contemporary design for your home. This special place has it all and is so inspiring to anyone who has an affinity for contemporary homes. In addition to their interior design services, they also have stunning furniture and artwork. The kitchen displays are amazing, they have everything you could dream of for a gorgeous high-end kitchen. I've also come up with great wedding and housewarming gifts here. I find myself getting lost in this place and dreaming up possibilities. You can tell these guys have it going on, everything just works. If they aren't the most comprehensive contemporary design showroom in Colorado they are definitely my favorite.

Samantha has a unique and respected way of living her life and doing business. She has a detailed eye with an incredible talent for designing and captivating the uniqueness of space and functionality, then incorporating that into everyday living. Very talented. Very professional. Very reliable. I would highly recommend visiting Studio 2b and working with Samantha Bales. A true delight...A rare treasured Italian flair I appreciate!
