CEMENT TILE KITCHEN

Love this kitchen!  Cement tiles, brass accents, black cabinets, subway tile backsplash, and amazing built in bookshelves.  A totally modern kitchen with a vintage warm style.  Love the stand alone turned wood leg table that acts as a kitchen island and the built in window bench seat.  Perfection.

Found this in interior designer Jessica Helgerson's portfolio.  Nice work.

To me the biggest statement in the room comes from the floor.  I am obsessed with decorative cement tiles lately.  I've ordered some samples for a project I am working on.  You can see them later today on my Instagram account @cococozy.  I love the idea of a rich pattern on the floor.  It creates so much texture and depth to the room.

Love this gold velvet tufted sofa sitting under the window in a nook created by the kitchen's built ins (above)

What do you think of this kitchen?  Any elements you like?

Remember to follow @COCOCOZY on Instagram...I'll share my cement tile finds a little later today!

Happy Friday!

THIS OR THAT: TWO SMALL KITCHENS MAKE BIG DESIGN STATEMENTS!

Two well designed small kitchens from one interior designer. Here I bring you two kitchens from talented Australian designer Greg Natale. Both kitchens are making bold design statements in relatively small footprints.

Would like to know which of these kitchens you prefer in today's THIS OR THAT!

***

KITCHEN 1 (below) - A moody open kitchen with dark cabinets with diamond shaped molding details, light rustic looking floors, a very bold trellis pattern black and white backsplash and glossy black counters.

KITCHEN 2 (below) - A tiny galley kitchen with avocado green cabinets. This kitchen features a marble slab backsplash and marble checkered tile floors.

So which of these do you prefer - Kitchen 1 or Kitchen 2?  If you were going be daring in your own kitchen design and you had to pick one of these two, which of these kitchens would you chose? Is there one you like more? Do tell...would love to hear what you have to say on this one.  I am on the fence.  I would most likely go with a white kitchen but can certainly appreciate the cool eclectic design in these.  Weigh in please!

Happy Friday!

P.S. Had a great talk with colleague and friend Kimberly yesterday. She is a pro in "the business" and she gave me some great advice. She also turned me onto a cool company that makes bracelets primarily for men but they are great for girls too! Follow along on COCOCOZY Pinterest to see the latest that I'm loving from this company and more. Thank you Kimberly!

P.P.S. Also on COCOCOZY Pinterest, I pinned a gorgeous wedding from my archives last night. A friend of mine had planned the wedding years ago...it is a rustic chic event that took place in the hills of Los Angeles...complete with bales of hay as seating!
