Curated Confessions

This week on Curated Confessions, we're at a new location! The ladies walk us through their current luxury home renovation, sharing the design decisions that bring each space together. From statement lighting and custom art to Venetian plaster and a reimagined fireplace, they explore how texture, materials, and architectural details shape the feel of a home.The transformation continues outdoors with plans for the pool, pond, landscaping, and golf course. Along the way, they share the challenges, collaboration, and creative problem-solving behind a project of this scale, as well as what’s still to come!

This week, the ladies catch up on seasonal preparations and current design projects before digging into the big question: remodel or build from scratch? From renovation costs and construction delays to the expectations set by social media, they share an honest look at what goes into bringing a home together. They talk through where to spend, what takes longer than you think, and how to keep your plans grounded in reality.

In part two, Hillary continues her vacation recap with the meals that stood out most, from fine dining and molecular gastronomy to the unexpected presentations that made each experience memorable. She and Brittany then turn to kitchen remodeling and organization, discussing how thoughtful storage, better use of overlooked space, and attention to everyday habits can make a kitchen more functional, regardless of its size.

In part one, Hillary shares highlights from her recent trip to Turks and Caicos and some of the once-in-a-lifetime experiences she had along the way. She and Brittany discuss the architecture at Rock House, how travel influences their approach to design, and the years of dreaming and planning behind Hillary’s future custom home. They also share an update on the online shop and some of the hilarious realities of running it.

With several installs and new projects underway, Brittany and Hillary start with an update on what’s keeping the studio busy. They answer a listener’s question about creative ways to use the often-overlooked space beneath a staircase—from wine rooms, home bars, and dog rooms to hidden storage, reading nooks, and workspaces. They even discuss the dream-home features they would design for themselves.
