GROVE KITCHEN: DESIGN PLAN
Another kitchen in the books. Like I mentioned when we were chatting about the Fourth Street Kitchen, I love working on kitchen renovations. Even more when the renovation spills over into the other rooms and we get to look at how changes in one space create change in another. I always tell my clients, it […]
HOW TO PICK THE PERFECT PAINT FINISH
Paint colors can be overwhelming. You walk into the store and there are literally thousands of colors staring back at you. We spend a lot of time talking about our favorite whites, or best gray color combos or even the best blues to add drama to a space, but what we don’t often talk about […]
HOW TO SCORE GREAT VINTAGE PIECES
It’s no secret. We love vintage. There is something about incorporating old items into a space that make it feel cozy, layered and unique. But how do you know what is a good score and what is better suited for the rubbish bin? We have nailed down a few tips on what to look for […]
ON TREND vs CLASSIC: How to Decide?
When I sit down with my clients to help them define their design aesthetic and prioritize updates or renovations in their home or business, we often end up at the same question when choosing details.

TREND ALERT: RUNNERS IN THE KITCHEN
When we’re designing kitchens, sometimes we focus on all the big pieces. This room is the hub of our homes, so when it’s feeling a little drab it’s tempting to thinking about starting over (get out the sledgehammer!) with a big kitchen renovation (which we recently covered right here!). But there are lots of little […]
FOURTH STREET KITCHEN:REVEAL
Get ready to pick your jaw off the floor. The Fourth Street Kitchen Reveal could not be a bigger transformation. From ditching all the wood paneling to completly re-configuring the layout, this kitchen was the definition of a gut job. Don’t let HGTV fool you —there is tons of planning, communication and time that go into […]
4 THINGS TO CONSIDER BEFORE YOUR KITCHEN RENO
The kitchen is the center of your house, the hub of activity and the room where people tend to gather. Having a kitchen you LOVE sets the tone for your home, but the decision making process when designing such a crucial space can be daunting…and paralyzing! Never fear, the Curio Team is here. We’ve made […]
WOOD WITH TILE: AN AFFORDABLE UPGRADE
We are seeing lots of warm wood tones entering back into kitchen and baths. I know– you are probably thinking– OH NO not all those full Oak kitchens again please?! But we are talking about intentional pops of warm wood into a space. Sometimes this is through floating shelves, a warm tone walnut kitchen island […]
BEST BLUE PAINT COLORS
As a designer, one of the most common questions I get from clients is…what color should I paint this room? And I get it! The color of a room sets the tone, and standing in front of the paint sample display in your home improvement store can be daunting…and paralyzing! That’s why I’m always keeping […]
