Hi there, cuties! Wow, this past month flew by, did it not? I’m in the midst of prepping for my kids’ spring break, doing some much needed spring cleaning and reorganizing, and looking ahead to some really exciting partnership campaigns in the season to come.

Happy April, cuties! It’s fitting that vibrant spring weather is finally upon us here in the New York area…because for this month’s Kathy Kuo Home Trade Member Spotlight we have the very vibrant Larchmont, New York-based Barrett Oswald, the principal designer at Barrett Oswald Designs!  Barrett founded her business in 2015 and has been a KKH Trade Member for seven years.

Hi there, cuties! I’m going to get straight to the point here–I have an extra special design project to share with you this week from my friends at Country Living, one of my favorite publications for design inspiration. “We recently had the pleasure of working with Country Living editor-in-chief Rachel Hardage Barrett on choosing the perfect green velvet sofas as she worked with her friend Holly Audrey Williams, a country singer and avid home restoration expert (and the daughter of country music legend Hank Williams) on restoring this gorgeous Mississippi property.” When Rachel fell in love ..read more

Hi there cuties! This week, I’m excited to turn your attention to a room that I consider to really be the heart of the home: The kitchen! Specifically, I want to share my shopping tips and favorite product picks when it comes to kitchenware (and if you’re looking tips on dishware, see our recent guide to that category HERE). “Anyone who knows me knows how much I love to cook, so this is a category near and dear to my heart. I want this guide to be your ultimate checklist for all things luxury kitchenware–from the perfect rustic cutting board to the most heirloom-quality bakeware sets!” Here ..read more

Hi there, cuties! Happy summer (finally)! With the arrival of the new season I want to talk about a new “viral” lifestyle trend that I am actually obsessed with–the Coastal Grandmother aesthetic! My KKH team knows I don’t usually like to get too focused on trends here on The Kuotes–always go for timeless over trendy, I say–but I am going to make an exception because Coastal Grandmother is just everything summer beach house decor dreams are made of! It’s luxury that’s laidback and lived in.” If you haven’t heard about this new trend in fashion, home, and lifestyle (which has been all of ..read more

Hi cuties! Somehow it’s already the middle of September…and you know what that means: It’s time for fall weekend picnic adventures, apple-picking, getting cozy at home, and lazy Sundays spent baking and lounging with a favorite throw blanket and a good book!  As you may know, I’ve been spending a lot of time out East in at our Kathy Kuo Home Southampton flagship store, so my version of the perfect fall weekend involves an autumnal picnic with my kids, fall apple-picking and pumpkin-picking at one of the Southampton area’s many orchards and farms, and then seeing what I can potentially wh ..read more

Is there anything better than your favorite cocktail at the end of a long work day? Well…I can think of one thing: Your favorite cocktail served in the perfect glass! Most of us have simply made do with our everyday glasses when it comes to cocktail hour, but having the proper glass for your drink of choice is a huge upgrade and can make your mixed libation all the more satisfying and special. Much like how there are differently shaped glasses designed specifically for red wine, white wine, rosé, and champagne (see Part 1 of our Glassware Guide HERE), there is an array of differently ..read more

Here at Kathy Kuo Home, you rarely need to ask us twice to raise a glass once happy hour rolls around! But beyond that, we feel just as passionately about having the proper glassware on hand for our libations of choice. Not only does it make for an eye-catching decor element to have multiple types of glassware on your bar cart or in your cabinets, but it also makes your sipping experience all the better! Feeling unsure about the difference between a flute and a coupe or a red vs. white vino glass? Have no fear–Part 1 of the Kathy Kuo Home Glassware Guide is here! For Part 1, we’re focusing on ..read more

With people spending so much time at home and only at home these days, it’s not surprising that those of us who might not experiment in the kitchen much, are taking new risks and enjoying new kitchen adventures. If you’re having a kitchen renaissance right now, you might also be asking yourself about design ideas for how you can make the space feel fresh, new, and up-to-date. Taking on a full kitchen renovation or kitchen remodel is a huge home improvement project that not everyone can take on at the drop of a hat. But the good news is that you can make your kitchen feel brand-new with easy co ..read more
