I needed to open up a bedroom wall and turn the bedroom into a common living space. My idea was to add French doors and sheet rock the end wall. "CURATE" came in and suggested NO sheet rock, but to INSTEAD add glass all the way across. This idea was BRILLIANT!!! I never would have thought to do glass all the way across. Not only does "the scale of the opening look amazing, it provides great light and view to our backyard. So many compliments. Thank you CURATE, you're the best!

I hired Shelly to help me pick out a paint color for my bedroom and after talking with her I felt like she really understood my vision, so I hired her right then and there.
Shelly’s creativity, eye for great pieces, and her resources for my project was mind blowing. Everyone working to have the vision come to life was professional and efficient.
I truly love my new bedroom; I walk in every time with a smile knowing this is my new bedroom.
Because Shelly has shown me she can do her job efficiently, I will be hiring her to work on my living room as well.

We were introduced to CURATE through our realtor. Our recently purchased & remodeled house just didn't quite feel like the home we had imagined. Having never worked with an interior designer, we were worried our budget would be too small or the scope of our project wouldn't be of interest (since the remodel was already complete). After a quick introduction, Shelly came out to see our house and listened to find what we felt was missing. She did a great job explaining the process and making us feel comfortable. As we completed the interior of the home, we've now expanded her scope to the exterior hardscape & landscaping design. Shelly not only brings exciting & friendly energy to the project, she also brings out of the box design ideas. It has been a pleasure working with CURATE.

Shelly rocks! She helped me with a full home remodel last year. From working to define the overall vision, narrowing down style choices, to scoping out the project budget and timelines, to sourcing materials and finishing pieces, to taking my panicked call when I couldn't decide on what finish for the kitchen faucet. Shelly was there all the way. My home remodel turned out beautifully and working with her made the process fun! It probably saved me several regrettable choices too. I get so many compliments from friends and visitors and would definitely recommend Shelly for any home design projects, big and small.

Using CURATE was one of the best home improvement decisions we have made. We had been wanting to remodel our bathrooms, put in new flooring and base-board throughout our home, along with painting the entire interior for years. Shelly's streamlined approach with selection of finishes and fixtures, managing order/delivery made the project go smoothly and efficiently. Shelly's aesthetic aligned with ours which made the selection
process easy and fun! We highly recommend CURATE Your Sphere and Shelly Garza for your home remodels.

My kitchen remodel was the first experience working with CURATE Designs. The service and satisfaction of the project far surpassed my expectations. Shelly's professional and personable character is easy to work with.
During planning meetings, Shelly asked questions, listened, brainstormed, and empowered me to make decisions that fit my needs, concerns, and dreams. My kitchen remodel project objectives were to enhance functionality, bring in better light, add storage to a relatively small space, update the aesthetic, new appliances, fixtures etc.
The project flow was excellent as Shelly took the time to meet in person to discuss the project as well as at some local showrooms to select the materials, fixtures, and appliances. Along the way, she explained the pros and cons of using specific colors, finishes as it related to the materials.
The ultimate decisions about the project were mine, however, her guidance allowed for me to decide with confidence. The process for the project was well defined and each step was clearly communicated.
When we ran into a kink, Shelly communicated the problem with solutions in a calm demeanor. I am elated to give CURATE Designs the highest level of customer satisfaction because my new kitchen is uniquely designed with abundant storage and is perfect for me! Thank you CURATE Designs!

We could not be h happier with the result; the best part is it looks like what WE had in mind but didn't know how to execute on.
Shelly was easy to work with and spent some time up from looking at pictures, colors I had liked and drew from that. Since she knew we wanted a lot of color she h helped us to be confident and go for it. She brought options to the table we wouldn't have been aware of and helped us by defining how to navigate all those difficult transitions in an open plan layout.
We have had previous not-so-happy experience with interior designers so this was a pleasure. I guess the proof is that we have engaged her on two additional design projects.
