Testimonials
Lumber Lair
“My partner and I got in touch with Curate2 after hearing about their work from friends. After moving into a new apartment in the centre of Toronto, Curate2 came out and did a thorough run through of the apartment and discussed what kind of style we were trying to achieve in our space.”
“Curate2 promptly created a presentation and detailed plan of the ideas they had for us and our space and had it back to us within a few days. They were incredibly easy to work with when it came to raising questions about the design and very helpful in suggesting functioning alternatives to any of our issues.”
“The installation of our space took just over a week and we couldn’t have been happier with the result. The finished product was exactly the feel and atmosphere we were trying to achieve in our apartment and Curate2 did an amazing job on all the small details. Curate2’s work is one of a kind and I would recommend their services to everyone.”

“I can honestly say, every time I walk into my condo I’m in awe of how much I love it, how peaceful it feels and how content I am. I’ve never used an interior designer before and now can’t imagine not having PJ’s expertise. He was incredibly professional, mindful of my budget, provided me with choices/options and worked with me to figure out my own personal style. PJ made this experience very easy, comfortable and even fun. His knowledge of retail stores and their inventory in town made setting up my condo from scratch such a breeze. I’ve had nothing but incredible feedback on how stunning the condo looks and I’m always proud to say “I have the greatest designer!”

PJ Shields was exceptional as a color consultant for my San Francisco condo. He also selected and coordinated new carpeting for my master bedroom. He was consistently professional, had an immediate sensitivity to my aesthetic, and coordinated all aspects of installation with great competence and conscientiousness. I’m planning to use her services as often as possible!
