COLOR WATCH: BOLD BEDROOMS IN SHADES OF BLUE!

detail photo of a bedroom designed by Amanda Nisbet with blue and white pillows on a white bed with a navy headboard and navy Roman curtains with a single white stripe going down the side

A blue bedroom.  Seems sort of standard right?   Well was browsing through New York interior designer Amanda Nisbet's portfolio and changed my mind about the use of  the word "standard" when associated with blue bedrooms!

Here are three rooms where blue is used boldly!

Not sure if this bedroom is just straight light blue or if it has that hint of cornflower to it...wall to wall blue in this room works. (above)

Which of these three bedrooms do you like the best?  I'm leaning towards the cornflower blue room but I always love navy and white too.  You?

Happy Tuesday!

P.S.  I can't believe Christmas is next week. It is not too late to shop!   Head over to the COCOCOZY Shop to check out some of our gift items including our popular Lucite Trays, wonderfully scented COCOCOZY candles or our soothing Lavender Sachets...and if you can't decide just get someone a COCOCOZY Gift Card.

P.P.S.  Going on a little holiday soon...to Beaver Creek.  Need cute cold weather outfits.  Best of friend AM is going to Sun Valley for the holiday and she and I have been obsessing over all winter fashion from Moncler.  I love all Moncler jackets and coats.  GORGEOUS.  Never thought a ski jacket could look so chic.  Yesterday, AM just informed me that she got a Moncler jacket for Christmas from her hubby as an early gift over this past weekend!  Am happy for her...and dying for one for me!  Needless to say,  I won't be in Moncler for my ski weekend.  No time to shop for cute apres ski wear now due to the latest turn of events at my little tiny cottage in the Hollywood Hills!  See below!

P.P.P.S. Yesterday, I had a repair guy come over to look at some water damage in a wall. The day ended with several workers in demolition mode and my bedroom floor ripped up, holes in the wall and much more due to tons of water damage! Today they take out part of my bedroom walls and then I have decide if I am completely moving out to check the whole house. This is forcing me straight into deciding on my wood floors throughout the house! Expensive and means I am without a home for the next few weeks. Thankfully I have sis DS's house which is so nice. And TE was sweet offer me a place to stay too.

P.P.P.P.S. Needless to say, today I'm trying to figure out next steps on my sudden construction project. As I went into a panic yesterday at first, I had to put things into perspective when I remembered all of the poor families in Connecticut who are really challenged right now. Makes my little dilemmas so insignificant really. My thoughts, tears and condolences are so with those Newtown families. Really.

LOFT LIVING: INDUSTRIAL RUSTIC CHIC!

Living room in Daniel Lowe's Hollywood loft with tufted leather couch and trellis fretwork gray wallpaper on on the fireplace

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.

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!

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.

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!
