WEEKEND PHOTO!

hamburg germany interior design decor renovate convert converted train depot station modern arco floor lamp pink sofa aqua kitchen backsplash

Cute living room. This one is in an old train depot converted into an apartment in Hamburg, Germany. Nice sleek open floor plan where you can see through from the living room to the dining room right into the kitchen.

A chrome arched Arco floor lamp looms over a modern living space.  Camel colored most likely vintage leather and chrome chairs and a pink Ligne Roset sofa.  Love the pale aqua painted backsplash in the kitchen in the distance.

Note to self: must find train station to convert into a cute modern living space.  Design on track! :-)

Happy Saturday!

PASTEL PIGS IN CHROME!

I have one of these cute metallic piggy banks in silver chrome.  I've had it for years - maybe 7 years or so.  It has moved from my home over to my office....and when I move back into my tiny cottage in the Hollywood Hills, it may even come home with me.   Even though this little piggy bank style has been around for years, people still oooh and ahhhh over it.  Adds a bit of cute style to any room I think.

One of my colleagues had her little 4 year old son over into my office a few months back...he was playing with my silver pig when all of a sudden the ear broke off!  No worries though...it was easily repaired with a little super glue...the four year old was so happy to see that the pig was indeed fine.

The pig was even up to no good once at my house...as you can see in these videos - Part 1 and then Part 2! But generally the pig has been all good over the years. (you can see my old wood floors in the video by the way)

So when I saw these pastel pigs at market, I of course bought a bunch of them for the COCOCOZY shop.

I think these pastel piggies are just so cute.  Don't you?

STRIKING BLACK & WHITE DESIGN!

Ooooh.  Black and white in interior design.  Not a new concept at all but one that I like.

I like these three spaces because not only is the decor on theme...but the architecture of the rooms embraces the black and white theme!

Do you like any of these spaces?  Does this color scheme work for you?  Too modern or just right?

Happy Thursday!

P.S.  Went to a party for Westweek the other night at uber interior designer Michael Smith's design showroom - Jasper.  Very nice party.  Ran into Michael's partner JC who had their cute labradoodle whose name is Jasper!  Before I knew it, Jasper had hopped onto a very posh sofa in the middle of the showroom and was posing for photos for me.  I only had my iPhone so I got just a few photos and missed the good ones with Michael, Jasper and Architectural Digest head Margaret Russell all posing for the official photographer who started taking photos too!

P.P.S. Also ran into so sweet Traditional Home editor Krissa Rossbund at the party too. She introduced me to her friend AD who seems so nice. Was a treat because I got to hang out with friend and chic interior designer Alison Blumenfeld too for a bit. CM who runs all things operations at COCOCOZY was there with JJ - it was nice hanging out with them too. Everyone had heels on but I was too lazy to change out of my low boots...so I looked quite under dressed. Note to self: always make the effort to dress and put on heels? Right? Wrong? Hmmm???

P.P.P.S. Best of friend AM is in Zurich, Switzerland this week. She just sent me a bunch of lovely photos including this one. Lucky her!

P.P.P.P.S.  Am off to a shoot for a show in Griffith Park this morning for my real job.  We were warned on the call sheet to wear boots because of all of the poison ivy on the trails there.  Fun day!

HOBNOBBING WITH THE BEST KNOBS & PULLS!

I like all of these knobs and pulls. A way to add a bit of shine and sparkle to your doors, cabinets or furniture. Love the geometric shapes and fantastic finishes.

Especially loving the mirrored cutie above and the brass faceted ball below.  Might have to change out some pulls in my bathroom!!!
