Frequently Asked Questions
What kinds of things can you help me find or design?
Just about anything that helps tell your story. From vintage décor and modern heirlooms to meaningful gifts and home styling ideas, we source pieces with soul. We blend styles and brands—think Serena & Lily, Williams Sonoma, Crate & Barrel, Article, plus an array of artisan and one-of-a-kind treasures—to bring your vision to life.
Do I need to live nearby?
Not at all. We offer virtual consultations, so we can collaborate from wherever you call home. Bring your ideas (and maybe a cup of coffee), and we’ll take it from there.
Is the consultation really free?
Yes! Your first virtual consultation is completely free. It’s our way of getting to know you and your project before we dive deeper.
Is there a minimum budget?
No minimums here. Whether you’re refreshing a single shelf or designing an entire room, we tailor our recommendations to your budget and your style.
How long does the process take?
Timelines vary by project, but most consultations and curated sourcing lists take about 1–2 weeks. We’ll keep you updated each step of the way.
What if I’m not sure what my style is?
You’re in good company! Many people feel that way, we'll bring the design expertise, you come armed with an open mind and we'll do the rest. We’ll help you uncover your aesthetic through guided questions, mood boards, and thoughtful conversation.
