When I ask a good majority of my clients about the budget they have set for their project, they truly don't know what number to provide. Setting a design budget can present challenges for a
homeowner. This is where I can help to educate on material, fixtures, and furnishing costs.

The primary bathroom is being thoughtfully elevated through this refresh while maintaining its existing footprint. By preserving the layout, the focus shifts to a complete update of the finishes and fixtures, creating a space that feels both timeless and highly functional for the homeowners. A palette of warm neutrals, layered textures, and carefully curated touches of color adds depth and visual interest, resulting in a bathroom that is refined, inviting, and effortlessly livable.

By eliminating the wall between the vanity and the toilet/tub area, this bathroom was reimagined as a seamless, open environment that maximizes visual continuity and elevates the overall sense of style.

When most people think of interior design, they picture furniture, lighting, window treatments, and the finishing touches that bring a space together. While those elements are certainly part of the process, great design goes much deeper than aesthetics.

Thoughtful interior design is about solving the everyday challenges of how a home functions. It's about creating spaces that feel intuitive, comfortable, and tailored to the way you live. Every decision—from layout and storage to materials and lighting—is made with purpose, resulting in a home that is not only beautiful but also more functional, more livable, and effortlessly enjoyable.
That's the difference you feel the moment you walk into a thoughtfully designed space, it feels good!

When a client puts their trust in you and the result exceeds their expectations, that’s everything for me. Pernilla came to us with vision, and concerns; and together we created something she now calls her favorite part of her home.

“We hired Shelly and CURATE Designs to help us with a full bathroom remodel. Shelly is easy to work with, always available with thoughtful feedback to any questions you may have. She has a vision for your space and is good about working with your parameters.

We knew the look and colors we were going for, but needed help bringing it all together. My biggest concern was the space being too dark and although the new floor is much darker than before and something i wasn't certain of, it has become my favorite part of the bathroom. With Shelly’s knowledge and expertise, she created the perfectly balanced bathroom. A darker than before floor with light, crisp walls has not only made the room feel lighter and brighter, but also more spacious. I ultimately put my trust in Shelly with these decisions and I’m so glad I did.”

Sometimes, a space simply needs a thoughtful refresh to elevate it’s look and performance.

The existing footprint remained, but nearly every visible element was changed. A freestanding vanity, a standalone soaking tub, and new tile flooring throughout harmoniously work to create a cohesive, elevated design. By layering timeless materials, refined finishes, and intentional details, this bathroom feels refreshed, functional, and beautifully connected from every angle.

Every beautiful remodel starts here. Before the finishes, fixtures, and styling come together, it's studs, nails, and a whole lot of planning. While construction may not look glamorous, this is where the transformation begins.

Renderings play an essential role in helping homeowners visualize the design long before it's built. Every material, finish, fixture, and detail has been thoughtfully selected with intention, ensuring the final space is both beautiful and functional.

Now, the vision is becoming reality, and we can't wait to share the reveal. Best of all, the homeowners absolutely love it.

The best kitchens aren't just beautiful—they're designed around the way you live. Every detail of this project was thoughtfully considered to create a kitchen that supports the rhythms of everyday family life—from busy mornings and meal prep to shared meals and meaningful moments together. The result is a space that seamlessly balances elevated design with effortless functionality.

Remembering the home you knew while reimagining it to support your growing family isn't always an easy task. Here's the progress: demolition, addition, material sourcing, color palettes, finish selections, to furniture layout.

The project is moving right along, and we're getting closer to seeing the vision come to life. Tile installation is just around the corner, and we couldn't be more excited to watch this transformation take shape.
