If you’re looking for something you could easily find on eBay or Facebook Marketplace, we’re thrilled for your discovery—you don’t need Curio & Find.

Step 1:
Start Bringing Your Vision to Life
- Initial Consultation: Conducted remotely via video conference (FaceTime, Zoom, Teams, etc.), priced at $200 per hour.
- What’s Included: We guide you through a personalized questionnaire, review your space via video or photos, and offer initial insights on possibilities and timeframes for sourcing unique pieces.
- In-Person Option: Available upon request, with pricing based on time and travel expenses.
By investing in our expert consultation, you’re saving countless hours of searching, avoiding travel expenses, and tapping into our deep knowledge of where to find one-of-a-kind pieces that make your space truly remarkable.






Step 2:
Commitment Through Contract & Deposit
- After your consultation, we’ll send you a contract outlining the scope of work and terms.
- A deposit is required to secure your commitment and demonstrate your readiness to move forward.
- The deposit ensures that when we find your one-of-a-kind pieces, you’re already invested in bringing them home.
Why a deposit? By having “skin in the game,” you’re not only securing our time and resources but also signaling that you’re serious about making your vision a reality. This commitment allows us to focus on delivering the unique finds you’re seeking without the risk of changing directions halfway through.

“The antiques are completely charming – demonstrating the care and attention devoted to making this a truly special place.”
