HOW TO GET YOUR SPOUSE ON BOARD FOR YOUR RENOVATION
Usually when a new client approaches me it is one half of a couple. That one person is ready for change, or knows that a space is not working for how the family needs to use it. The other half of the couple (usually) is coming from the camp of “it’s working fine, I don’t want […]
BRUTALIST INSPIRED DECOR
When we shared our interior design trends for 2019 predictions, we got lots of awesome responses (heart eyes emoji!) but one of our choices left a few of our peeps a little unsure (thinking face emoji?). We’re planning on seeing (and using!) a lot more brutalist inspired pieces this year, but some of you didn’t […]

I AM AN INTERIOR DESIGNER AND I’M NOT JUDGING YOU
LISTEN UP. It’s always hard to open up our home to strangers. Before we have guests we usually fuss about, cleaning and straighting items. We don’t want to appear to live like slobs to the outside world right?! It’s even harder when that person coming to see your home is an interior designer right? Surely […]
BLACK KITCHEN CABINET TRENDS
As the Curio Team predicted for 2018, dramatic, dark colors are trending and one of our favorite places for this impactful use of paint is on kitchen cabinets.
