Hi there, cuties! I am so excited for the brand new shiny year to kick off, and of course always adore shouting out awesome women/mamas who are inspiring all of us (me!) every day. Here are our latest, shiniest, #FriendsofTheKuotes.
Our January 2022 class of #FriendsOfTheKuotes and featured social media influencers and creators is one of our best mixes yet. Just…inspiring is the only word and honestly that doesn’t even cover it. Trust me: If you missed our @KathyKuoHome content with these four women over the past month…you’re going to want to hit that follow button and watch as your social feeds become a whole lots brighter and more joyful!
Interested in working with us on a featured social media partnership? Drop us a line at pr@kathykuohome.com!

For regular Kuotes readers, Olivia Rink needs no introduction! We looooove Olivia over here–not only did we work with her on her NYC apartment bedroom refresh back in 2019, but we also collaborated with her on a super-fun makeover of her childhood bedroom in Indiana when she moved back home during the start of COVID.
If you’re not familiar with her vibe, she’s an adorable content creator and lifestyle blogger currently living in Kentucky with her new husband–honestly, she’s just too cute! When I heard she was currently working on decor for her current home with her hubby, I was thrilled to be able to work with her on a lovely decorative pillow assortment for her guest room.
“I’ve always wanted this pillow, so I ordered it from Kathy Kuo Home and I’m going to design our guest room around it!” –Olivia Rink writes on Instagram

You’ll also surely recognize the oh-so-lovely Jacqueline Fransway–one of my fave influencers on my feed! We worked with this fab Florida-based lifestyle content creator in September as she designed her new coastal-style apartment. And I know that the #BachelorNation members of Team KKH also love all of Jacqueline’s photos with her Bach-contestant sister Whitney Fransway (also a #FriendOfTheKuotes)!
After working with Jacqueline on her coastal media cabinet and coffee table, we were thrilled to continue the partnership as she continued to add her personal style to her space. How lovely do our decorative pillow, tray, and link sculpture look as finishing touches on this chic coastal living room design?

Do you love thoughtfully curated lifestyle, fashion, and parenting content? Yeah, I thought so–me too! Enter the oh-so-talented Crystalin Da Silva, aka @CrystalinMarie! Crystalin has been blogging–originally as creative outlet on the side–since 2009 and has also of course extended her content creation to the social media world. This Oregon-based influencer is a fab writer–I am seriously obsessed with her blog–a mama-of-two, and an entrepreneur with a really chic vibe.
Of course, as soon as I first saw her IG, I knew she’d be perfect for KKH blog. We had a blast working with her on adding the perfect entryway cabinet to her home. And check out how she styled it–just such a fun balance of decor pieces, I love it. And using this cabinet as a place to stash shoes out of the way? #MomHack alert!
“When design meets function…I love this piece in our entry from Kathy Kuo Home!” –Crystalin Da Silva writes on Instagram

And next up we have another very exciting blast from the past working with us once more: My lovely friend, the Miami-based Amanda Gluck! You probably know her as the blogger behind The Fashionable Hostess and recognize her from one of my fave design projects EVER when we helped design her French Country-meets-glam living room a few years ago.
Okay here’s the short story on the amazing Amanda: She’s a mama and entrepreneur; a Miami-native and a Brown alum; and she worked in fashion and events PR for years before the process of planning her own wedding brought her to blogging and sharing her gift for crafting the most gorgeous set-ups for holidays and gatherings!
Amanda recently moved to a new home and I was over the moon to reconnect with her and work on styling the shelves in her bar room! We sent her some of my favorites #Shelfie pieces–a vase, a candles, and some cute decorative boxes.
“This super chic vase looks fab with flowers or on its own…and for any candle lover, the L’Object candles [from Kathy Kuo Home] are the most chic!” –Amanda Gluck writes on Instagram
