Curated Finds: Sourcing & Shopping

Chapter 5: The Finishing Touches

Shopping for Home, Made Easy

While our philosophy starts with celebrating what you already own, sometimes the next chapter requires a few intentionally selected additions. Our sourcing service is the final step in the Curate process, ensuring every new piece—whether custom, vintage, or retail—is a perfect fit for your home's unique story and budget.

The Designer’s Sourcebook

Amazon Shop:

Think of it as your personal designer's little black book. You've already sifted through the noise of Amazon and hand-selected only the items that meet your aesthetic and quality standards, saving you time and decision fatigue while guaranteeing a curated, cohesive result.

My shop isn't about replacing what you have; it's about supplementing it. These are the thoughtful, hard-to-find, or necessary utility items that elevate your existing pieces—think the perfect throw blanket, a specific piece of hardware, or a functional organizational item.

The Full Manuscript (Full-Day Session)

The Full Manuscript is the ultimate, comprehensive sourcing day, offering 6–8 hours of dedicated, multi-category curation. This session is designed for clients who have a longer list of "missing pieces" across multiple rooms. We spend the day on an expert-guided mission, weeding through mainstream retailers, accessible vintage sources to find a mix of high-impact foundational pieces and rare decorative finds. Your primary benefit is my eye and expertise: I ensure every choice is intentional, perfectly scaled, and unique enough to avoid the "straight out of the box" look. The day culminates in receiving The Chapter Outline—a detailed follow-up document complete with photos of your purchases, direct shoppable links for any online items, and specific designer notes on placement and styling. This transforms a chaotic search into a confident, budget-smart sourcing strategy.

Gain Confidence, Master Your Style

A Co-Author the Next Chapter session is much more than a shopping trip—it’s a hands-on masterclass in curation. Many people struggle with zeroing in on their personal style and knowing which "finishing touches" truly complete a collected home. By spending the day with me, you’ll gain the confidence and knowledge to move forward on your own. You'll learn my methods for identifying quality, assessing whether a piece aligns with your existing decor, and spotting those truly unique finds amid retail noise. This education and insight is the ultimate takeaway, giving you the skills to continue curating your home intentionally for every chapter to come.

The Editorial Review (Half-Day Session)

The Editorial Review is your highly focused, efficient jumpstart designed to solve one or two key sourcing dilemmas. In this 3–4 hour session, we zero in on a specific, high-priority need—perhaps the perfect statement rug, an investment art piece, or a console table to complete your hallway. We skip the exclusive trade showrooms and instead strategically hunt at your favorite retailers and hidden local haunts. You'll gain instant confidence as we navigate the vast inventory, making swift, informed decisions on quality and fit. This time is dedicated to making immediate purchases that feel unique and intentional, ensuring your investment aligns perfectly with your collected home, without breaking the bank.
