COCOCOZY LIGHT GIVEAWAY - JUST IN TIME FOR SPRING!

So as promised...it is giveaway day here on COCOCOZY!  Woohoo!  Today, I'm bringing you a good one!

Today I am giving away pillows from my new cotton COCOCOZY Light collection. I designed this collection to be playful and light. The colorways include a clean black and white palette, blues in indigo and sky, and some soft grays that I call smoke and mist.

Like all of the rest of the pillows in the collection, all of the COCOCOZY Light Collection is designed by me and everything is made in the U.S.A. (from imported base cloth).

This design that I am giving away is actually named COCOCOZY Light. This pillow retails for $193!

Anyhooo...here's how to enter to win one of these pillows:

1. Go to the COCOCOZY Shop and browse through the pillow selections (Classic Linen Collection, Natural Linen, or COCOCOZY Light).

2. Find pillows you just must have and leave a comment below letting everyone know which COCOCOZY pillows you are coveting and where you might put them in your home. Remember to leave your email address or name or way of identifying you.

3. You have until March 15, 2013 at noon PST to enter. Winners will be announced on Monday 3/18/13 here on the blog and then you must email me with your address.


I'll be picking 4 winners this time. 4 winners! Each winner will get one of these black and white COCOCOZY Light pillows shown here!

WORKSTEAD DESIGN!

I like the work of Brooklyn based design collective, Workstead.  Something very earthy, raw yet modern and eclectic about their aesthetic.  A blend of nostalgia and new.  Very cool.

Love the black and cream tile in the bath above.  I adore the decorative wall molding in the living room below.  I am picking out the wall molding for my bedroom today.  Was going to just do what I had before...large squares and rectangles...but loving the etched rectangle wall molding shown below.  Hmmm...considering.

Subtle detail added to the kitchen cabinets in the form of custom L shaped wood door handles. (above and below)

Is this your style?  What do you think of Workstead's work?

Happy Tuesday!

P.S.  Multi million dollar answer - Yesterday, most of you answered correctly on the post about the two multi million dollar apartments.  The Tribeca loft is a mere $15.8 million...while the 5th Ave/62nd apartment is over $19 million!

P.P.S.  Stopped by my little tiny cottage in the Hollywood Hills over the weekend with TE.  The wood floors are in!  Not stained yet...but they have been laid!  So excited....

Unfinished white oak wood floors in my tiny cottage in the Hollywood Hills - I chose 7"wide planks with beveled edges.  Still deciding on color! (above and below)

P.P.P.S.   Spent 2.5 hours of my life watching the Bachelor last night.  Have lost brain cells.  Will spend day trying to figure out how to rejuvenate those cells lost.  Uhhhhhhhh....duhhhhhhh....uhhhhhh....

P.P.P.P.S.  COCOCOZY GIVEAWAY - Tomorrow, I'm doing a giveaway!  Don't know what we're giving away yet...but it will be something good from the COCOCOZY Collection!  Stay tuned for details!

BEFORE & AFTER: A D.C. TOWNHOUSE TRANSFORMATION!

Before and after views of the living room in aWashington D.C. townhouse that was recently totally remodeled and redesigned! (above)

Here's a never before seen BEFORE & AFTER look at a home featured in the May issue of House Beautiful magazine!

The "after" was created by Los Angeles designer Hillary Thomas of Hillary Thomas Designs, New York designer Jeff Lincoln and architectural firm Franck & Lohsen Architects in a bi coastal collaboration on a multi million dollar 1960's townhouse in Washington D.C.

House Beautiful did a lovely story on the completed project after the designers took to it.  But, here on COCOCOZY, for the first time, you can see what the home looked like before it was remodeled, re-designed and re-imagined by the design and architecture team.

The newly envisioned home now features design touches that makes each room stand out - including golden wallpaper, painted ceilings, Murano glass pendant lights, colorful tile and so much more.

It has been ages and ages since I've done a post showing pre-remodel vs. post. So today, I'm happy to bring you this BEFORE & AFTER!

Thank you to Hillary Thomas Designs partner and Co-Founder Clara Hendon for sending me the before photos.  So appreciate it...thank you for thinking of COCOCOZY!

Readers, what do you think of this Before & After transformation?  What is your favorite new element? Do tell!

Happy Wednesday!

You still have a few hours to go to enter the COCOCOZY Giveaway - see yesterday's blog post for details. Remember to enter by noon PST/3pm EST today!  Am giving away a cute luxe COCOCOZY throws to two lucky readers!  So don't miss out on a try!  Will announce winners on Friday!

P.P.S.  Design Non Sequitur - Was chatting with my neighbor JH when I got from home from work last night.  Someone drove by us and JH waved and yelled "Hi Beverly".  I said, "Who's that?".  Our tiny street is a dead end and there are just a few dozen houses on our street so I wanted to know who was driving down our little trail.  JH said, "Don't you know?  That's Beverly.  Beverly Hill.  She's lived on the street forever."  Apparently I have a neighbor named Beverly Hill!  Couldn't Google her because only thing that came up was information on the city Beverly Hills.  Then JH went onto say, "I used to know a woman named Holly Wood too.".  Hmmm...
