Bixby, Oklahoma · Est. 2026

You can have
style on a
budget.

Named for Christopher. Built from everything I've been through.

Home design shouldn't be a privilege. Christia Picks shows you how to make any space — rented or owned, big or small — feel like it was made for you. Using a trained eye, AI tools, and the pieces you already own.

The Story

From the street
to Bixby.

I was getting ready to go into eleventh grade when we got evicted. I came home and walked up the sidewalk toward our apartment complex — and there it was. My entire childhood bedroom set sitting on the curb. My furniture. My pictures from high school. All of it out on the street for anyone to see.

While other kids my age were thinking about college applications, I was figuring out where I was going to sleep.

Christia Picks is named after my father's middle name, Christopher. He was in a terrible car accident — and that's when everything changed for our family. But I watched him get knocked down by something completely out of his control, and still find a way to give. Years later, he gave me and my sister the down payment for our first home.

I spent decades moving — Maryland, Florida, Chicago — never fully decorating, always something unfinished. Then I came to Tulsa through the Tulsa Remote program. I made a decision: I am not waiting. I decorated immediately. Put art on the walls. Made it home. And then I bought a house in Bixby — the first home that has ever been fully, completely mine.

Christia Picks is that method — made for everyone who's ever felt like they had to wait.

Langley Park, MD

Mint green walls. Weekly rental. Learning that you can always do something — no matter how bad the space starts out.

Germantown, MD

Townhouse with my sister. The rule was born: if we both don't love it on sight, we leave it. No convincing.

Florida · Chicago

Always moving. Never fully decorating. Always something unfinished. Always waiting for "someday."

Tulsa, Oklahoma

Moved through Tulsa Remote. Decorated immediately. Stopped waiting. Made it home for the first time in years.

Bixby, Oklahoma · 2026

Bought my own home. 3 bed, 2 bath. Custom pieces from Mathis Brothers. Clearance finds. DIY art. AI planning. Christia Picks.

Play the Game

Guess the price.

Three pieces from my home. Some were custom designer. Some were clearance. Some were Amazon finds. Can you tell the difference?

The gold crystal chandelier — where did it come from?

Hint: The dining room is the first thing anyone sees when they walk in.

The point: it's never about the price tag. It's about the eye. And the eye can be developed. That's what Christia Picks teaches.

How It Works

The Christia Picks Method.

Five principles. Decades of moving, losing, and starting over. Applied to every room in my house — and ready to apply to yours.

  1. Trust your first reaction

    If you don't love it immediately, leave it. No convincing yourself. Your gut knows before your brain does. The pieces worth keeping are the ones you loved on sight.

  2. Test it with AI first

    Take a photo of your room. Use AI to visualize how a piece fits before spending a single dollar. I used this method to plan every room in my Bixby home.

  3. Mix invest with budget

    Spend on pieces built to last decades — your sofa, your dining table. Fill the rest with clearance, Amazon, or secondhand. No one can tell the difference.

  4. Make your own art

    Nothing makes a space more personal than something you created. It doesn't need to be perfect — it needs to be yours. Your walls should tell your story.

  5. Build home no matter what

    Rented or owned. Decorated now or in stages. Your space deserves to feel like home today — not someday. Stop waiting. Start building.

Step 02 of the Method

Design with AI
before you spend.

Before I bought a single piece for my Bixby home, I photographed every room and used AI to visualize how new pieces would look. It saved me from expensive mistakes — and helped me find the right pieces faster.

01

Take a photo of your room as it is right now. No staging needed.

02

Describe the piece you're considering — color, style, size.

03

See it in your space before you spend a dollar. Buy with confidence.
