Curate

Our clients came to us with a 900sf cabin on Lake Pend Oreille dripping with fish wallpaper, green carpet, and lava rock. Not only was she ready for a glow up, but they needed it to fit a king size bed AND sleep two littles in the loft until they built a bunk house in a few years. We said goodbye to the wallpaper and made use of every square inch by adding bunks under the dormers of the loft. If this spot gives us cabin fever in the best way

We like biiiig drawers and we cannot lie!

When our clients decided to clad almost the whole exterior of their home with stone, we couldn’t help ourselves from connecting the spaces by bringing some of the over-mortared stone into the interior. The obvious choice would have been to cover the floor to ceiling fireplace, but we just couldn’t get on bored (see what we did there ;)) with the obvious. Instead we dreamt up this range cove, dripping in stacked stone & calcutta marble, flanked by the most beautiful arched doors we ever did see.

We’ve been crushing hard on brick floors for a while now & after seeing this double herringbone installation come to life, you could say it’s getting pretty serious 🥰

When in doubt, put a bird on it. Where are all our Portlandia fans at?

Happy Monday! Raise your hand if you want to get back in bed. 🙋🏼‍♀️

You heard it here first, painted floors are the cat’s meow.

When all is said and kitchen reno is done, don't forget the importance of styling. Look at your vases, planters (goodbye plant that's been dead for two months), anything with the right scale, height, and texture. Don't be afraid to try out different pieces and re-imagine the everyday objects you already love, thats exactly how this Grecian bust moment came to be. We'll also let you in on a secret, those vases that are a little too tall to hold your utensils? Yep we have definitely propped up our wooden spoons with some paper towels stuffed in the bottom. Continue following for the most groundbreaking styling tips on the gram.

Not your average flip

Even if it’s an investment property we believe in going beyond the standard flip recipe, and we see a payoff every time. Curate doesn’t do cookie cutter.

Let’s talk about s…

sinks. One of the most heavily used items in a kitchen, they can elicit heated debates among spouses during a kitchen renovation. Thankfully you don’t have to call your divorce lawyer just yet, we’ve put together a list of the main pros and cons for each type, we got you boo.

What a difference a year & a hundred gallons of paint can make ✨ The windows at were in amazing condition, but almost almond in color. Initial thoughts were to get them to white, but we talked everyone into black & think it made all the difference. We’ve had multiple clients question if windows other than white are considered timeless & our answer is HELL YES! Depending on the architecture & style of the home, we love to go black, wood, or to match the trim & casework of the room. Are you team white windows only or team keep ‘em guessing?
