Simes Studios did such a wonderful job on our California home that when we remodeled our kitchen in our Colorado residence, we immediately went to them for help on our project. The scope of their talent is amazing and their determination to please was very much appreciated. They honed in on our taste and made fabulous suggestions on our projects that made the end results exceed expectations-just beautiful! Jorge and Cindy are truly delightful people to work with and additionally, they are knowledgeable and extremely talented, as is their crew.

Splendid – that best describes the work that Simes Studios has done for our clients. Over the years, we have had the good fortune to collaborate with many artists on behalf of our clients. Simes Studios stands alone in their mastery of the right and left sides of the brain: developing the idea, managing the process and making it happen. They listen and create incredible samples, typically surpassing our expectation. They follow up with thorough planning and paperwork. They enter our clients’ homes, which are often already occupied, and take the utmost care in protecting the surroundings while creating their magic. We just finished a Chicago project with Simes Studios where they transformed a simple apartment lobby by providing rose gold leaf on the ceiling. Stunning! In the next month or so, we’re looking forward to their work on a project of ours on Central Park South in New York. We recommend Jorge and Cindy Simes and their team without reservation.

Simes transformed our home with unique designs and murals in our kitchen, dining room, great room, media room, master bedroom and bathroom. It was a real pleasure working with Cindy and her team of expert artists. The team was respectful, highly professional, and worked diligently throughout the various stages of the projects. I would highly recommend Simes Studios to those seeking a professional and truly unique design.

Artistry, mastery and inspiration, all expertly rendered in our vision for the space. Seven projects in our home, and this is always our experience with Jorge and his talented team.

We have worked with Jorge and the Simes Studios team on multiple projects. They have exceeded our expectations for the process and the end results on each project. We have commissioned decorative mirrors as well as specialty finishes. We are extremely appreciative of their ability to build on the design or modify as the installation processes. This talent and flexibility insures that the client is thrilled when the space is complete. As others have mentioned, they are extremely professional and courteous as well – a sincere pleasure to partner with them.

Jorge & Cindy Simes of Simes Studios completed a major redecoration of our master bedroom suite. First, they worked with us to create two eglomise panels for our master bedroom, which gave a nod to the Art Deco feel we were trying to establish. They painted a lovely, detailed faux finish on the walls and added beautiful silver leaf detailing around the crown molding. After this work was complete, they expertly installed the panels, which now flank the fireplace. Not only are their creativity, craftsmanship and execution excellent, but also they are a true pleasure to work with. They are consummate professionals, who are reliable, courteous, on-time, and on-budget. We look forward to working with them again.

We have used Simes Studios many times for our neo-classical home in Hinsdale. Each time we have been more pleased!! When people walk into our home they are taken aback by its drama and elegance plus the attention to detail. Much of that is due to Jorge’s expertise and all of the artisans that work with him. If you are looking for something that others don’t have – you need to work with this group of artists. There is no one that could surpass their expertise in their craft.

I’ve been working with Simes Studios since 1990. In the many projects we have done together, the work is always beautiful, the client is thrilled and I’m proud to be part of an outstanding outcome. Artistic skill and imagination are always balanced in a perfect combination with professionalism and thoughtfulness.

I have worked with Simes for over 20 years and find them to be very creative in transforming mundane surfaces into something very beautiful and exciting. They have the talent and ability to execute their projects. You will not be disappointed.

Simes Studios is beyond professional and organized. Many times when you work with an artist there is a lack of planning, no accurate samples and a staff that does sloppy work or work that has to be retouched or fixed. Simes Studios finishes are cutting edge and stunning. Their staff has never experienced a problem within a client’s home. They are on time and you hardly know that a stranger is in the house. They leave a tiny footprint and are polite and courteous. I have worked with Simes Studios over the years. They have provided unique solutions when I have had areas that needed something incredible or when I’ve needed a painting for a dining room that is original and different and know the direction I need to go into and haven’t been able to find it galleries. Which happens often. I highly recommend them to higher end clientele and designers.

I have worked with Simes Studios for a variety of projects for the last 15 years. From the first massive trompe l’oeil mural in my living room, to the variety of ceiling artwork that was performed throughout my home, I have found that there is an entirely new feeling and warmth to the décor, and likely the value of my home. Each room a unique and creative design. Each project performed with care in terms of quality and artist attitude and style. I have felt comfortable to have the work done in my presence or absence because I have come to trust the entire Simes team to do perfect work. The firm owners keep a close watch every day on progress, they involved me every step of the way for feedback and reflection. I am so very proud of the superb work performed throughout my entire home that I continue to try and find more projects for Simes Studios to perform because each one brings style, design, and excitement which has turned my house truly into a home. I could not recommend the Simes Studios team more highly for any and all creative artistic ideas, design and project execution you might be considering.

Simes Studios has worked on 3 of my houses. It begins with one room and when it turns out beautifully, I end up having them work in most of the spaces. The artists are professional, creative, immaculate and are simply the best. Cindy and Jorge are a dynamic duo. I wouldn’t do a house without them.

I have had the good fortune to work with as well as socialize with, Cindy and Jorge Simes, they dynamic couple who are the genius behind Simes Studios, Cindy, is the lead as it relates to the artistry of what they do. Her unmatched attention to detail, the subtlety and nuances of color, and relevant interior details, to fashion what can only be described as pure art. Her awareness and relentless dedication to each and every project is a trait that only those who are indeed truly passionate possess. I thoroughly enjoy the process as we work together with the best needs of the installation and client satisfaction in mind. She has a great team of artists who execute the designs to her exacting standards and respect the client’s installation with white glove service, professionalism and discretion for their esteemed clientele. Cindy continually and consistently deliver completed projects that exceed my vision and expectations proving to be an asset to the overall installation and client experience. I consider Simes Studios as one of my greatest resources for decorative arts and eglomise.

I was lucky enough to first see Simes’ work 20 years ago. I recall vividly the finely detailed painted furniture on exhibit at a Wells Street gallery. Since then I have had the good fortune to collaborate many times with Jorge and Cindy on a wide range of creative projects, from murals, walls finishes, furniture, and eglomise. As an interior designer, it is a joy to have the opportunity to work with a team of artisans to create what might first begin as a small idea and ends as an incredible work of art. Spending time in their studio sparks one’s imagination further as to the endless possibilities they can create. Clients also appreciate their warmth, professionalism, and breadth of art history knowledge.

I have worked with Simes Studios for 30 years. They designed painted floors, furniture, wall treatments (faux finishes) and murals for my projects. They are completely professional, pleasant, and fair. Most of all they are very creative and well educated, so they understand what you’re trying to achieve. I can’t give them a higher recommendation. I love working with them.
