COCOCOZY BLUES - EMBROIDERED THROW PILLOWS

COCOCOZY embroidered pillows in blue (above)

I instagrammed a photo of a few COCOCOZY embroidered pillows in blue yesterday. I love these tones and shades of blue.  From a dark midnight blue, to a blue that reflects the colors in the Aegean, to a softer cornflower blue.  Blue is my color of the day.

STRIPES & CHEVRON TOGETHER? - FEARLESS DECOR PART 2

Last week I showed you a bright pink living room and said that was fearless.  This week I bring you a home in Morocco with a wild blue chevron pattern floor and bold stripe walls!  Wow!

Could you do it?

Would you go fearless or play it safe?

FEARLESS - Cement handmade tiles...

Zigzag cement tiles (above)

SAFE - Or try a rug to get the same look!

Wool flat weave ikat chevron rug (above)

So regarding the rooms above...I would probably do the floor but not the stripe walls.  I love the idea of a beautiful graphic pattern tile on the floor.

See the rest of the decor on decor on Elle Decor's site.

Happy Friday!

BOLD BEDROOMS - THIS OR THAT

Making bold design choices in the bedroom today!  Two rooms with very different design aesthetics but with one thing in common...bold design.

In the first picture above, a geometric colorful rug makes an eye catching statement.  Below, a huge brightly colored suzani (Persian decorative tribal textile) is draped along the walls surrounding the bed...acting as a headboard of sorts.

What do you think of these two bold choices...like one or the other better...?

So which of these rooms do you prefer?  Which bold design choice might you be willing to try in your bedroom.  I'm having a hard time deciding but I think I might pick the second photo with the suzani fabric on the wall...there is something quite cozy about the look.

Please weigh in.  Choose your favorite!

Happy Monday!

KITCHEN WEEK - GEOMETRIC BACKSPLASH!

This week is KITCHEN WEEK on COCOCOZY!  During this week, I'll bring you kitchens I like and some design ideas that you can easily incorporate into your kitchen whether you live in a grand mansion or a cute small city apartment and for all of the houses and homes in between.

First off, on day 1 of KITCHEN WEEK, here is a fab feature wall in this adorable modern small kitchen.  Can't really tell if this is a mosaic tile or wallpaper.  Can you?

Either way, I like the light blue graphic diamond pattern used as a backsplash of sorts behind the sleek white flat front cabinets.  Adds an element of design and visual interest to an otherwise neutral space.

Anyone know where this fab wallpaper or tile comes from?

Pulled some wallpaper patterns that might work below.

Cole & Son - Labyrinth Wallpaper (Light blue geometric patterned wallpaper)(above)

Graham & Brown - Juan Wallpaper - $85 per roll (Greek key like geometric patterned light blue wallpaper)(above)

What do you think?  Like or dislike?

I think if you have bare walls in your kitchen...using wallpaper might be the easiest way to get this look.  If you are doing a kitchen remodel, why not use a fabulous mosaic tile?  I would!

Happy Monday!

P.S.  We took the dogs on a little walk yesterday in Manhattan Beach...along the boardwalk.  We also went to breakfast at a cute restaurant (diner) called Martha's.  I'm not a Manhattan Beach type of girl at all (Laguna is more to my liking!), but it was a gorgeous day and everyone was in a good mood and smiling...who can complain!  I know lots of you are buried in snow.  I wish you much sun and warmth!!

P.P.S.  Have a another shoot tonight on set on the Universal lot for my real job.  Should be fun.  Only part that isn't too fun is that shoot starts at 8pm!  Wooohoooo.

P.P.P.S.  Making some big decisions this week...will have you weigh in...has to do with the COCOCOZY textiles collection!  Exciting but not sure!!!

P.P.P.P.S.  How did you spend your weekend?  Have a great week too!

LOFT LIVING: INDUSTRIAL RUSTIC CHIC!

I like this Hollywood loft owned by art director Daniel Lowe. Masculine, industrial, rustic chic I think. So cute for a guy's place...or a girl's. Open concept, living room, dining room and kitchen combo. Good light and some exposed brick. Who could ask for more?

Love the geometric trellis fretwork gray wallpaper on the fireplace in the living room, adore the nautical pendant lights over the kitchen island, and there is something very stylish about a tufted leather couch. Lots of detail coming together to make a nice space.

Jayson Home - Maxwell Sofa - $3895 (Upholstered vintage black leather sofa. Brass nailheads. Tufted back)(above)

Schumacher - Summer Palace Fret Wallpaper  (Smoke gray fretwork trellis patterned wallpaper)(above)

Loft kitchen with dark black island, light quartz countertops and white kitchen cabinets are all lit up by large nautical pendant lights. (above)

Restoration Hardware - Nautical Convoy Large Pendant Light in Bronze - $359 (above)

Wisteria - Rustic Industrial Dining Table - on sale $1609.30; regular $2299 (Dining room table with wood top and metal base.)(above)

Anything here in the interior design or decor details that you like? Do you think this space is more masculine or neutral?

Happy Monday!

P.S. Had a fun weekend with TE. We went to a Saturday night movie, dinner at Silverlake Mexican restaurant Malo, walked on Runyon Canyon on Sunday and then somehow ended up at sports place watching the San Francisco 49ers game. Best part of it all was when TE came over for the movie, he had gifts in hand. I was immediately convinced and assumed they were all presents/gifts for me...I was wrong. He did bring "hostess treats" of sorts to my tiny cottage in the Hollywood Hills - a bottle of Veuve Clicquot for me and something for my cute mischievous dog Mr. Boo, some organic dog treats. A very cute holiday offering I think. Mr. Boo, the dog, seems to like TE more than he likes me these days.  Hmm...I will have to bring some organic treats home tonight and see if that helps sway the pooch my way!

Champagne for me...organic dog treats for Mr. Boo...cute gifts for me and my dog! (above)

P.P.S.  Just found out that thankfully we have a new shipment of COCOCOZY Logo Lucite Trays coming in! Wooohooo. These COCOCOZY trays will be back in stock as of Monday 12/17!  Thank goodness.  The trays have been a hit so far...we sold out of our first limited edition run in just a few days and now we are onto a second run.  So it is not too late to pre-order these trays as a gift item or for your holiday decor.  We'll ship out on Monday 12/19 too...so trays should make it to you in time for the Christmas holiday!  Last minute...but we'll do our best to rush these out to you in time if you pre-order this week.  We're sending out the first round of trays that everyone already ordered at the end of this week.  Will share some photos on shipping day.

COCOCOZY Logo Tray - $99 (Clear lucite serving tray. 11.5"x17.5"x2.5') (above)

P.P.P.S.   Will try to pull together a last minute gift guide this week too...with some of my top holiday gifting ideas from all around the internet!  Hopefully it will help last minute holiday shoppers!

P.P.P.P.S.  Hope your holiday prep and shopping are going well...I'm already behind!
