FRIENDS OF THE KUOTES
Happy Friday cuties! I don’t know about you, but I am sooo ready to enjoy the long upcoming Memorial Day (have you shopped our SALE yet?!) weekend. I can’t wait enjoy some fun and family time out in my happy place of Southampton (where we’ll be open for the season at our flagship store).
To close out the month of May in the best possible way, I am thrilled to introduce you to the five incredible and inspiring women we worked with on KKH featured social partnerships this month. There are some new faces and some lovely friends we’ve had the joy of working with several times. The one thing that they all have in common, from Miami to LA and in everywhere in between (Indiana, Colorado, and Nevada, to be exact), is an infectious spirit of creativity, entrepreneurialism, and pure fun!
From new homes to empty nests, our interior design team is here to help you love where you live.

You all know that I love when I get the chance to do multiple projects with the same partners! Enter my talented friend, the Miami-based Amanda Gluck! You know her as the blogger behind The Fashionable Hostess and recognize her from one of my fave KKH design projects when we helped design her French Country-meets-glam living room a few years ago. We also worked with her on a super-fun #Shelfie moment in her new home back in January.
Amanda is a mom and entrepreneur; a Miami-native and a Brown alum; and she worked in fashion and events PR for any years before she pivoted to blogging and sharing her gift for crafting the most breathtaking set-ups for holidays and gatherings! I had a blast working with her on yet another space in her new home–her dining room! How amazing do our best-selling Tina chairs look in this space? Swoon!
“I just wanted to show how our Kathy Kuo dining chairs look and I just love the look of these chairs. They go so well with all of the black accent pieces.” –Amanda Gluck says on Instagram

You may recognize our next creator from when we worked with her last month on her dreamy outdoor living space! Elshane is the creator behind the blog Elshane’s World and is also a celebrity fashion stylist (her credits include “E! News” and “Fashion Police”), costume designer, and mama based between LA and NYC. Talk about cool, right?!
We started working with Elshane on adding some cantilever umbrellas to her serene California home’s outdoor living space. This month, she brought our umbrella to her poolside outdoor dining area and…yep…I’m pretty sure she wins the award for dreamiest summer set up!
“Our oversized cantilever umbrellas from Kathy Kuo Home [can be] angled to block so much sun!” –Elshane writes on Instagram

The next amazing woman I want to introduce you to is the lovely Megan Murphy–the powerhouse creator behind @HouseOfMurphy on IG and the lifestyle blog House of Murphy. In 2019, Megan was a stay-at-home mama (of three adorable boys!) undertaking a home renovation with her husband in Reno, NV.
Megan loved the process of brining every aspect of her home together after scouring the interwebs for visual inspo, so she decided to create her own content channels to be a resource for others. I love an entrepreneurial mama with a taste for home design, so I was so excited we could work with Megan on adding the perfect French Country chandelier to her living room space.
“Chandelier details: It’s the Elle French Country Grand Chandelier from Kathy Kuo Home! I absolutely love the classic elegance of this wrought iron minimalist chandelier!” –Megan Murphy writes on Instagram

Even casual Kuotes readers know how much we love Olivia Rink Hempel over here! She’s an adorable blogger, creator, and mama-to-be and I’m so happy to count her as a friend and repeat partner!
We loved working with Olivia on an NYC bedroom refresh years ago, a makeover of her childhood bedroom in Indiana during COVID lockdown times, and on guest room decor just this past March! When she came to us in search of the perfect counter stools for her newly renovated kitchen in Indiana, we knew we had the perfect solution.
“We are in love [with our kitchen]! Been dreaming up this reno for months, and so happy to finally be living in it. Here to report the stress and chaos was all worth it. [My husband] and I planned out every detail together which has really made it feel like ‘home.'” –Olivia Rink Hempel writes on Instagram

If you’re not following Cait Papas of the Colorado-based Nest Out West, I’m going to need you to stop what you’re doing and get her on your feed immediately! Cait is a mom-of-two, trained photographer and the brilliant founder of Nest Out West–a creative services company offering styled photography, social media promotions, and interior decorating. So…in short, she’s a kindred spirit!
Cait currently has a precious new baby daughter and I was thrilled to work with her on adding a chic pop of boucle to her daughter’s nursery with a comfortable rocker. I adore how sweet and serene this nursery is…almost makes me want another little one (emphasis on “almost,” haha)!
“I had been obsessed with the idea of a boucle rocker for this nursery since I was about two months pregnant, but I had a hard time finding one that checked all my boxes: Had to be firm (so it’s easy to get out of while holding a sleeping baby), had to be the right warm white, had to be boucle, had to have the right wood tone on the legs, had to be wide enough to fit me and my little sweetheart, and had to have a high enough back that I could put my head back and fall asleep here if need be… This is one from Kathy Kuo Home couldn’t be more perfect for us!” –Cait Papas writes on Instagram
