OUR FAVORITES: WARM BEIGE PAINT COLORS
Remember our 2020 Trend Predictions post? One of our forecasted trends is in an influx of warmer tones, including toasted almond. What’s another word for toasted almond? It’s beige. Stay with me though! Beige gets a bad rap because it’s practical and your mom may have overused and abused it at her house (no […]
We Are Anti-Open-Concept. Here’s Why:
Open concept is overrated. I heard you *GASP*, but hear me out. For the longest time, the trends (and the HGTV shows) were telling us we need to take out every wall. Open concept open concept open concept. Walls, bad. No walls, good. But from a design perspective and for practical considerations, is that really […]
PROJECT REVEAL: PARK + PINE LIVING
FINALLY another project reveal! Although I love major construction projects– every once and a while a project comes along that is just in need of paint and furniture to make your jaw drop. The Park + Pine living room is exactly that project. Park + Pine BEFORE I have said it over and over again […]

2019 Year in Review
2019 was especially great because we officially expanded the Curio fam to include not only a new assistant (Hi Miriam!) but also brought on my husband and all his construction + woodworking talents. Having him at my side to customize and execute projects is beyond exciting. Let’s take a look back at some of our […]
SOFAS: SPLURGE VS SAVE
No matter the price point, sofas are an investment. Real talk: there is a too-good-to-be-true factor when it comes to sofa prices. Even a ‘save’ sofa will be around $1,200…I would never advise going below that as the quality will be so poor that it won’t even be worth your time (and, of course, money). […]

We’ve got holiday decorating down to 8 easy steps. 8 DECOR ESSENTIALS FOR THE HOLIDAY […]
HOW TO MAKE A BED LIKE A PRO–5 MUST-HAVES!
I keep this running list entitled “Things My Mom Was Right About Afterall” (that I rolled my eyes at at the time) and near the top of that list is: make your bed everyday. Ok, maybe not every.day. But more often that not. A beautifully made bed can make the chaos of life seem more […]
COLOR TREND ALERT: AUBERGINE
Aubergine, the cousin of eggplant but much fancier is having a moment and we are obsessed with the look of this dramatic, saturated color as it trends The Curio team predicts that color trends will warm up in general in 2020 (remember our rundown of the best blushes? Yea, more of that.) and we are […]
3 WAYS TO DECORATE FOR FALL (THAT CAN BE USED ALL YEAR ROUND)
We are big fans of seasonal decor. Real big. And despite how much we love summer, we are leaning into fall hard. All the pumpkins. All the cozy. Adding some autumnal pizazz to your place doesn’t have to be hard though…and actually, it shouldn’t be. Keep it simple. We don’t have to default to the […]
