One of Ryan Korban’s favorite words is expensive, ”for me it relates to everything, and it has nothing to do with money. It is the perfect description of how I want something to look.” And he certainly nailed it when designing his chic New York apartment pictured above. Cristina here, and I love the look of the expensive… read more

Bring it Home :: A Fresh Start
I (Cristina) find the renewed resolve of the new year to be very energizing… precisely the type of energy that can fuel us through a project, like a new coat of paint or even rearranging the furniture. When it comes to the domestic to-do list, decor is so often placed on hold in favor of… read more
Bring it Home :: Gotta Go Glam
Cristina here, hoping you all had a Merry Christmas! One major holiday down… the next is right on the horizon. There’s no better excuse than New Year’s Eve to bring a little glam into our lives, and our cocktail sesh at drink.well has me totally inspired to set up a pretty drink station and play bartender for… read more
Bring it Home :: The Perfect Gentleman
I’ve always felt that winter was a more masculine season. We put away the light summer sundresses and flirty fabrics in favor of tartan plaids, rich dark colors, leather and boots. So I can’t help but be drawn to menswear-inspired looks this time of year – both in decor and fashion. Today’s Bring it Home is… read more
Bring it Home :: Going Green
I hope you all had a lovely Thanksgiving! Cristina here, and I don’t know about you but all that preparation followed by competition-level eating and high stakes sales have left me very excited to do two things: a) decorate for Christmas and b) rest! Luckily we can tick both boxes with a color that is both… read more
Bring it Home :: Keeping Calm
Cristina here, and I’m gearing up to host my first family Thanksgiving at my own house this year. Just typing the words I can feel my heart rate quicken and my mind racing with thoughts of turkeys, pies, and my small oven. In preparation for this momentous occasion (and to prevent a possible meltdown) I’m… read more
Bring it Home :: Get in the Mood
Are you all in the mood for Halloween yet? Costumes purchased and doorsteps decorated? Me neither… For those of us still searching for last-minute inspiration, I (Cristina) have just the thing to get you in the mood. You may be familiar with washi tape already in all of its neon colors and pretty patterns, but… read more
Bring it Home :: Elegant Fall Fete
Cristina here, with inspiration for your next fall fête…but don’t expect to find any autumnal colors here! For a fresh take on fall we’re skipping the oranges, browns and reds for an elegant palette of black and white. I’m feeling inspired by these subtle nods to the season that are more about a feel than a theme,… read more
Bring it Home :: Feeling a Shift
It happens at about this time of the year, every year. Cristina here, and I’m noticing a gradual shift in my design sensibilities from white with punchy colors to greys, browns, and metallic finishes. Do you find that your decor mood changes with the seasons? If only furniture was as easy to store as scarves… read more
Bring it Home :: Beyond the Bar Cart
Bar carts. We all love ‘em. They’re a fabulous way to arrange your favorite glasses, a fine drop, or a bucket of ice. But for those of us who require spirits storage that’s a bit more substantial, I propose a bookcase! Cristina here, and there’s nothing I enjoy more than styling (and re-styling) a bookcase.… read more
