Thanks for the input Monica. However, I don’t believe in portals or entities like that!

Awwwww you’re welcome Megan ❤️❤️ So happy you’re part of the community! Glad you’re enjoying the videos and please let me know if you have questions.

Actually there’s a ton of natural light coming from the living room. Check it out 😉

Hi lovely!!!

@ChristinaDiStefanoStudio hey, watching from Fiji

@@selairarokobu9017 Hello! Wow paradise!

Thanks so much, Nicole! 🥰 Moving is typically so stressful for me but we have literally been moving things out of our condo following the closing on the house a year ago. So little by little :)

Awww as always, thank you Grady 😘😘😘 I love leaning into the challenge because we end up with unique solutions that other designers might not think of. Also, as an artist, I sure you have leaned into your challenges when creating artwork. Lol you know how I love to create a narrative for a home (regarding the literature professor). Hannah is a gifted writer and so I intuitively know that her books/library are important. Can't wait to see what she comes up with.

@@ChristinaDiStefanoStudio Yes, exactly, the specific challenges make a house a personal home, when working with it. That is a great insight you gave me. Makes me even more happy to be in my place and to work with my space. Indeed in the process of making art, there are a lot of challenges. It takes courage to make the next step, sometimes very intuitively, sometimes well considered and planned. A lot like interior design for me. I loved the narrative of the literature professor, and now I know how you came up with the idea. I also love to see what Hannah will do with the space. Thinking of what my narrative is, and concluding that in the process of time my home reflects the narrative of who I am now.

Thanks for the tips and expertise, Rebekah! Love how you've made both those cabinets so unique. Let's see what Hannah does... 🤩

Thank you, Shaun! I hope you can use some of this for your own home or at least get inspired! 😘

I’m so glad you liked it, Izzie! I’m hoping it will inspire others to think differently about their own space 🥰

Thanks darling! You’re welcome, I’m so excited to see how it all comes together 🥰

You are so sweet, thank you, Cheyenne! 🤍

Me too! I am definitely going to do a follow up! PS No worries Tascha 😘 That’s why I save it for the replay ❤️❤️❤️

Thanks, girl! I agree-that room is going to be such a beauty when it’s all done! 😍 PS Love your idea to conceal the tv!

Thank you! It’s also not my style (at home) but still had so much fun exploring this aesthetic ❤️ Hope Hannah can make some of ideas work for her.

@ChristinaDiStefanoStudio I hope she loves it and we get an after photo ❤️

Thanks, Joanna! I hope you have a lovely day too 🥰 Always so good to see you and catch a bit if your sunshine here 🌅

She did a great job! Love her mood board too!

Thanks for watching! I hope you can use some of this for your own home babe 😘

@@ChristinaDiStefanoStudio Have you thought about doing a video where you talk about what different colors mean? e.g. how you discuss blue being welcoming and friendship

@@snowcm135 No I didn't but I love that idea! Thank you, babe!

Thank you darling ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you, luv 🤗 It’s so cozy-especially right now with the fire inside and the cold outside 🥰

Thanks so much, Clare! 😊 I’m having fun with this and hope to inspire you and all the other subscribers to pursue your dreams 🤍🤍🤍

Have you tired hiding the litter box in a chest? I did this with my cat (also a studio) and basically what I did was buy a used storage chest/trunk and cut out a little square on one side. Then I placed that side facing the wall so it wasn’t visible but left enough space for her to get in. Cleaning is easy because you lift the lid and clean it out from above. Hope that helps! PS now they sell these things so here’s one as an example www.chewy.com/baxton-studio-amara-cat-litter-box/dp/334161

Thank you Grady! 😘❤️🥰 Yes you are doing the things to create the outcome you desire and bring it into fruition. To be clear, manifestation is the realization and actualization of something into reality-such as the realization of a goal or outcome. I do not believe in the “magic” popularized version of this word-that you can see it and poof it comes into your life. It’s a combination of dreaming, believing and doing ❤️

@@ChristinaDiStefanoStudio O yes, I can see that, thank you for the explanation. I think that is how I realize things. But even when the steps are not that clear, you can stil go on. It will become clearer in time, once you are on your way. And also for example because of meeting new people, the direction can change, because of new input. For me prayer is important in the process. It keeps me on track of who I truly am, how I am meant to be. But still taking the steps you mentioned. There is room for growth. To mention one thing I see in your life that is realized in the three steps you describe, is your new home. It is a big step to buy the home and to move from NYC. And then to make it your home with your design skills and the dreams that grow along the way. I wish you and Jerry so much happiness in that place!

@@gradyvandenboschGrady you are such a lovely, bright and sweet person. Thank you for your kind words and observations 🤍 Do you know you’re the top commenter on the channel? I just got some new stats and I want to thank you for always being here. PS There is a lot of change in motion, you are so right. I’m looking toward to seeing where I’ll be this time next year :) Actually where we will both be in one year 😘 Also I have some ideas for the OGs. I’m working with a TH-cam mentor to create a membership program. I would like to gift the top commenters a complimentary membership-so stay tuned for that in the new year because you are definitely in that group 🤗

@@ChristinaDiStefanoStudio Ah, sweet of you, what a great idea.

Awwww darling slow and steady wins the race. Taking your time is okay! I can tell you it’s much more challenging to design your own home than being hired to help someone else-too many options and too much emotion behind it all. At times I almost obsess over our home and finding the right piece-that is not the way! Lol. When I choose for someone else it comes so quickly. So don’t beat yourself up over empty walls. Try your best to enjoy the process and tap into your imagination-remember when you were a kid and it came easily? You can do that again. You’ll get there and same for your other projects too! I believe in you 😘

Thanks, girl! So nice to hear from you ❤️ You’re an inspiration too 😘 What kind of things are you dreaming about doing? I’m here for ya babe if you want some feedback. Also thank you for the kind words regarding my mom. The love is very much appreciated, Victoria dear 😘

Thanks CD! It’s still a work in progress but I’m so excited about it 🥰

Thanks darling!!

You're so sweet, thank you, Jody! ❤️

Oh, I love that tip! I’m going to start doing that. Thanks Millie 😘

I figured it out just by noticing the pattern as well as connecting it to other foods that also have tannins: teas, coffee, and dark chocolate mainly. If it has higher levels of sulfites I break out in a rash and my tongue swells-so fun lol. It comes down to the soil where the grapes are grown. I stick to certain regions/countries like France and parts of Italy for wine.

Thank you Paulene 😘❤️🥰

😘😘😘 Thanks Cheyenne!

They’re so much fun with the little size. I plan to have them available in the next week. I’ll definitely save some for you 😘

Yes I can’t wait to share. I wish there was more time on the weekend-I think I’ll get a lot done over Thanksgiving weekend at least!🤞🥰

It was so nice to hang out with you today too, Mimi! I’m sending lots of love back your way! 💖

Thank you Tascha 😘 Looking forward to sharing the process and having fun with it along the way.

I love those tiny moments of indulgence ❤️ Good smelling things might be my favorite!

Yeah! It does!

Awwwww thank you, Karen. I’m so honored to be a bright spot for you 🤗 PS Definitely too early for wine out there! 😂🍷

It really is a balancing act, isn’t it? 😉 I feel like some weeks are better than others, but I remind myself to just do the things I can do, a little at a time. You’ll get back in it. I know you will ❤️ Maybe try doing something fun related to it. Like what was your favorite aspect of writing? What moments made you feel alive? Focus your attention there and befits you know it you’ll be back in it. I believe in you, my friend!

Exactly! I’m here to cheer you on babe! I started this design business and TH-cam channel at age 50-so you and I are living proof age is just a number. Don’t let it psych you out 💪

You're so welcome! It's amazing what you can create with a little imagination.

Thank you, luv 😘

Thank you darling. She’s doing so much better and we’re starting the radiation therapy soon. Thank you for the love and kindness ❤️

Thanks, it's fun to see it come together 😉 and happy to share it with hot!

@ I received your note today…thank you for being so kind ❤️

@@nala_bOh good!!!! I wanted to make up for the fact that I couldn’t sign the tote because they’re shipped from the printing company 😘

🤗

Hi Monica-good question. Painted furniture is not a wood tone but you can still determine if the paint is cool or warm. So if you have a black color look to see if it has hints of blue (cool) or red (warm), then apply the same rules. Essentially this matching your color palette to the wood tone. If you have warm woods, then warm colors will complement those tones best. The same applies to the cool colors and cool tone woods. Like mixing cool wood tones with cool jewel tones for example. I hope that makes sense 😉

@@ChristinaDiStefanoStudio Thank you. Thank you!
