The Maison Bibelot Experience

INQUIRIES & PROCESS

How do you source?

We source in a variety of ways, it all depends on our client’s style, budget and timeline. We source online from retailers and auctions, in person at antique stores and markets, and even work with local vendors and artisans on custom creations. 

Rates & Engagement

Fees are tailored to the scope of each project-whether we are directing a comprehensive 6,000+ square-foot transformation or engaging in a focused sourcing narrative. We offer both project-based and hourly consulting rates to ensure the engagement fits the unique needs of your home.

Collaborative Vision

Design is a personal journey. I work closely with my clients to define their aesthetic legacy, whether you wish to be involved in every selection or prefer to have Maison Bibelot direct the entire transformation.

Tailored Scale

From selecting the perfect storied object to overseeing a full-home aesthetic renovation, I handle projects of every scale with the same commitment to elegance.

Good Questions

Maison Bibelot offers interior design, sourcing, art advisory and styling. We work at a range of scales—from finding a single exceptional piece or finishing a room to designing an entire home.

Our work can include furniture and art selection, antiques and vintage sourcing, space planning, textiles, custom pieces, lighting, styling and the details that bring a room together.

Every project is different. We source through travelling to markets, auctions, antique dealers, estate sales, galleries, retailers, artisans and our network of trusted vendors.

Where we look depends on what we’re trying to find—and sometimes the best pieces come from places we never expected.

We can certainly try. If you have a photograph, reference or even a description of something you’ve been searching for, send it our way.

We may track down the exact piece, find something similar, or discover an alternative that works even better. The hunt is one of our favorite parts.

Absolutely. In fact, we prefer it.

A home is more interesting when it reflects what you’ve collected and lived with over time. We’re happy to work around pieces you love, reimagine how they’re used, and introduce new elements that make the whole room feel more considered.

Absolutely. Art sourcing is an important part of what we do. We work with galleries, artists, dealers, auctions and other sources to find original work that feels right for both the space and your budget.

Whether you’re looking for one piece to finish a room or want help building a collection over time, we can help guide the search.

Yes. We work with clients on individual rooms, focused sourcing, art selection and home styling.

Sometimes all a room needs is the right piece—or a fresh set of eyes. Reach out and tell us what you have in mind.

As involved as you’d like. Some clients want to participate in every selection; others prefer to give us the reins. Either works.

Our process is collaborative, but our job is also to edit—to bring you the choices we believe are right rather than overwhelm you with options.

Our fees reflect the scope and needs of each project. Maison Bibelot works on both a project-fee and hourly consulting basis, from full-home design to focused sourcing and styling engagements.

After learning more about your project, we’ll recommend the structure that makes the most sense and clearly outline fees before work begins.

Yes. Maison Bibelot is based in Houston and works with clients throughout Texas and across the U.S.

For projects outside Houston, travel and any additional project requirements are discussed during the initial consultation.

Maison Bibelot is our interior design and sourcing studio. CURATE is where the Maison Bibelot eye becomes shoppable—an ever-changing collection of antique, vintage and one-of-a-kind furniture, art and objects available to purchase online and in person in our Houston, TX showroom.

You don’t need to be a Maison Bibelot design client to shop CURATE, and you don’t need to shop CURATE to work with Maison Bibelot.

Not at all. You don’t need a name for your style—or a perfectly assembled Pinterest board—to get started.

Part of our job is identifying what you’re drawn to, understanding how you want your home to feel, and translating that into a point of view that feels like you.

Yes. Understanding your investment range early helps us make better recommendations.

We’ll discuss budget and priorities at the beginning of the project so that we’re sourcing and designing within realistic parameters.

Start by telling us a little about your project. Whether you’re looking for one piece, one room or the whole house, we’ll want to know about your space, what you’re hoping to accomplish, your timing and your approximate investment range.

From there, we’ll determine whether Maison Bibelot is the right fit and recommend the best way to work together.
