I so appreciate your approach in this video of showing an image and then walking us through it re: what catches your eye and why. Very helpful. Thanks.
I'm so glad this video was helpful for you 🤗 It's my favorite way to teach. I think many of us are visual; so it’s good to see what you like and then break it down. It helps to cement the inspiration in a way that will naturally manifest itself in your own designs.
Beautiful 💜 I love the "home hug". I kept trying to define my "style", determine how to dress it up, and fight against the color palette I was feeling in favor of what I thought was "right". I'm learning, with your help, to connect with our space. I feel able to "feel" what the space needs to an extent now. It's darker than I kept pushing for. I thought because I had a small space, that everything had to be light in color to appear big enough to feel spacious. Baby steps, but I'm getting there. Your intuitive design styling helps so much to grow into our home. It is finally clicking. I'm getting intuitively attentive to the life that our home yearns to breathe. And the small changes finally feel just right. Thanks for being here and continuing to help us connect uniquely to our space to make our homes homey and huggable. 💜
Tascha your message brought tears to my eyes and touched my heart. This is all I could ever want for you 🥹💗 So, so, so wonderful to read. Thank you, lovely.
To all the viewers of Christina’s work, please give her a like!! It’s so hard to grow a channel and a following. It also helps these videos find you in the algorithm. Great video and thoughts here Christina, thank you!
I really enjoyed this video. I have never watched anyone on youtube break down a room design like you just did. I learned alot. Love eclectic style and have practiced it in my own home for 50 years of owning a home.
Awww thank you babe-I appreciate the kind words 🤍 I’m so glad this video resonated with you-I’m always striving to deliver in-depth design insights and I absolutely love to analyze how and why. I’ll definitely bring more of these into our mix 🤗
Awww Hannah-you are so sweet babe! I'm so happy you're loving the house coming together. 🥰 I am too! It’s finally feeling balanced 😉 The cabinet and artwork really shifted the feeling in here.
Loved the images. As we remodel and redecorate, I was explaining to my 22yo daughter how you encourage the use of adjectives. She looked at the dining room, which is complete, and named "cohesive" as one of mine; I had not said it, she observed it! I was so happy. I felt success, that I was able to design and decorate in such a way that an observer could describe it accurately. As always, you're an inspiration!
That’s so awesome that your daughter is picking up on your design adjectives-I love it! Awwww I’m so honored babe and always so happy to hear about the impact my videos have on others-even the next generation 🥰
Ooh! This video was worth waiting for; I learned so much. Love all the vignettes. Bless you for acknowledging the SoCal fires…brings tears to my eyes. I’m in Northern CA…prayers to all those who were in this firestorm. All the more reason to value your home and create a sanctuary that makes you love living in it. Love to you, babe. Your video was a warm hug after this rough week. ❤xo
Thank you for sharing Karen-I am always happy to send a big hug to you, dear heart ❤️ We are so very fortunate to be safe at home. It’s something to never take for granted. I know all the home loving souls here know the value of our special place in this big world. We are in good company indeed! PS I’m so happy you enjoyed the video babe. Have a wonderful week! 😘
You are so welcome! And yes! Gratitude is a practice for sure. I want to be on the team that reminds you at life is good and we are blessed. Blessings are all around us when we open our eyes to see them ❤️
Love to you babe! Really enjoyed all you photo vignettes discussions. I am a huge fan of bringing as many plants into a space as you can manage. Our homes are our safe spaces and you are such a gift!
Such a gift! 🤗 Colette my dear, we can certainly talk for hours on all things home 🤍 Regarding plants, we just moved a bunch of them into the dining room from the mud room to make way for our little surprise. Can’t wait to share with the channel! Soon!!
Hi Christina, thanks for the very inspiring video. I so enjoyed your images. Each image was original, personal and well balanced. It is inspiring to see how things were brought together, without the feeling of staging. And your walk with us through the images was a great bonus. With an eye for detail and respect for every choice. Loved to watch it. I also never was a flowerprint girl, but since I have flower drapes for the closet in my bedroom, I am so happy with it! The room feels even more nurturing, in a way I never expected. Ik am afraid I am not a plant lady, I have two plants, cacti or something. My boyfriend is a true plant guy, he even has plants he inherited from his mother, and they are at least 50 years old! Yes, my dining table is a display of art books. Love it! I never eat there, but I take video calls and then I push the books a bit aside. No problem. Yes, home is so important to feel safe, to grow as a creative, to be yourself, to be nurtured etc. My heart goes out to people without a safe home, like in warzones, refugees, childeren that sleep on the street. I pray for them every day. And also the people who lost their home in the LA fires. I am so very grateful for my small space on earth, my home and sanctuary. It gives me peace and joy. Be blessed.
Grady so many wonderful points in your message. First of all I love that your boyfriend has taken in his mother’s plants and wow, to nurture some for 50 years is incredible 💚🪴He is a true plant daddy! Also I love that you took a chance on the florals and loved them. Home is a place to try out those things-something we they work and sometimes they don’t but at least we can be adventurous here and give it a try! 👏👏👏 to you! (That was my goal with our bedroom. It was much bigger than any room we ever had in the city and it made me uncomfortable at night when sleeping. Since we were willing to try something new: paint the ceiling, have a bed color other than white/beige, we were able to pull off that cozy cocoon that I need to feel safe.)
@@ChristinaDiStefanoStudio Thank you for sharing your process about your bedroom. I recognize a lot in the proces and the feelings about making your bedroom feel nurturing. My floral prints were actually a coincidence. I actually was looking for a more graphic pattern, more artistic perhaps. But I couldn't find something I liked within my budget. Then I saw this print. I ordered some samples and the one I have now, was by far the most beautiful, also concerning the rest of the bedroom. I know that you also ordered samples for your bedroom. I think it is an important part of the process of designing a room. Instead of my bedroom being artistic, it now is more homy. More close to my youth. I compensated it with a strong semi-abstract artwork I made a few years ago. I love the contrast with the drapes. Your bedroom turned out great, very good choices. Happy for you that it turned out the way you dreamed it.
Hi Mimi! The screaming goat pretty much describes last Sunday for me and the week that followed! 😂 So glad it’s a new week! As always lovely seeing you here babe 😘
I love plant vignettes, too! They bring so much life to a room. ✨ Aww enjoy you new plant family 🪴 PS During Covid Jerry evolved into a serious plant daddy!
Great breakdowns Christina. Would love to see more of these types of videos. It seems to me that almost no one does such a thoughtful analysis of interiors
You got it babe. I’m an analyzer by nature so these are my favorite videos because I do what comes easily. It’s like solving a puzzle-why does this look “good” to me? Why and I drawn to this? How did they make this room look this way? I will definitely do many more of these-THANK YOU for the feedback and encouragement 🤗
Hi Christina 👋! My home is my sanctuary. I love my eclectic style home. A little bit of new, modern and traditional. I also incorporated artwork and trinkets from my heritage. It makes me feel closer to my parents….like you said a big HUG. ❤️
That is the very best way to create a home that you LOVE! 🤗 Yes I get that feeling of being closer to your family-those pieces remind us of who we are-we stay strong in our identity through them, and the connect to our ancestors. This is important to me too 🥰
The way you explain and illustrate eclectic is exactly the way I understand it to be; it isn’t a particular style or “theme” in and of itself, but more of describing the act of mixing and matching different things and styles together. The inspiration photos are gorgeous 🤎 love from Singapore 🇸🇬
I am so glad you understand it that way, it really is about being you and you’re not a style-you’re a human with many layers, history and memories so we won’t be putting you in a box nor your design style 🤗💕 Love from Pound Ridge back to you too babe 😘
OMG the giant oval dining table thumbnail is soooo dang good. This was so fun. Let's do this again 😅 I love me a homey home. My home is my favorite place to be. On another note, I have been so sad for everyone who lost their homes and communities. One of my favorite interior designer who is so eclectic, Kate Martindale, lost her home and all her amazing vintage and antique belongings. I am beyond sad for her.
Hi CD ❤️ I can’t even imagine and pray that none of us will ever experience this kind of detestation. My heart goes out to everyone who is without a home, in LA and all over the world. PS I love that shot too!
Awww, you know me so well! I adore each of these spaces too. 💕 I definitely have a style that I gravitate to, but most importantly home should feel WELCOMING. I’m not about pretense-it’s about creating beautiful, inspiring spaces that give us hope, optimism, that nourish our souls and let love in.
My brain can only handle about two to three big patterns dancing it out together, with the rest of the room being negative space or neutral colours (like matting in a picture frame) to let the eyes take in and appreciate the dramatic-pattern tango.
Same! It must be a Libra thing 🤍 I like a serene space to calm me, not energize me. If there is a lot of movement then it must be in subtle muted colors-and always in harmony, unity and balance 😉
Like your viewpoint, but can you post some of your perspective drawings?? how's about blue line floor plans, some elevations, and a post with your "Diploma".....I have all of that.....what was your grade for "Color Theory".....pretty sick of hearing "LIKE".....keep yapping, without any credentials.....you must have a "Sugar Daddy"......you never earned anything, sweetpea......just stop....you bring my industry down to "Bubble Gum"....
You should not jump to presumptions about people. Sadly this way of speaking to people and treating them as if they are not human beings with feelings and emotions is what is wrong with the world. Fortunately there are many wonderful people here in this community and elsewhere that spread love and not negativity as you are trying to do here. My credentials are all online-enjoy. I hope your day, your life, and your perspective gets brighter 🤍
