COCOCOZY RUGS AT HIGH POINT - WOOHOO!

I am going to a trade show in North Carolina to show off the COCOCOZY rug collection once again!  Wooohooo!  For those of you in the design business who are going to High Point Market this weekend, I hope you will come by and say hi to me at the Capel Rugs showroom in Market Square!

It is Saturday morning. I am on the plane right now. Flying first class (thank you Capel Rugs). Heading to Charlotte, NC where a driver will pick me up and whisk me off to High Point, NC (thank you CT and CC for making my travel so wonderful). I will be in High Point for exactly 24 hours.  A dinner with the oh so sweet Capel Rug folks (CC, JM, JH, and AR) tonight, sleep (I need it), a morning/early afternoon meet and greet at the Capel showroom where all of the 24 rugs in my collection are on display.  Lastly on Sunday, right before I leave, I have a top secret meeting about a potential project...fingers crossed that this comes to fruition.

I cannot wait to see my rug collection again in person and so look forward to meeting COCOCOZY readers, buyers, designers and press.  So much fun to chat with everyone and hear their stories!

Ron Bristow, Capel's showroom manager, sent this picture to us of the COCOCOZY rug display in the Capel Rugs Showroom at High Point Market. (above)

I have two COCOCOZY rugs in my house now (see one of them in my living room by clicking here...I plan on shopping and getting a few more!

P.S.  COCOCOZY 2014 Rug Collection - I am a little afraid to see JH from Capel.  I owe him color selections for my next new rug collection that we will showing in 2014.  I am holding up the whole process.  I sent designs in over a month ago...I know what I want for color but have been too distracted to put down my thoughts in an organized manner...note to self...finish color on Monday or Tuesday.  All the color issues aside, I am really really excited about the new designs for 2014...cannot wait to show you.  If you are in the press, I may even give you a little sneak peek (via my iPhone) of one or two of my new designs!

P.P.S.  Spent the last two weekends traveling with TE.  Weird not to have him with me on this trip.  He is home this weekend recuperating from running the Chicago Marathon last weekend.   Was very impressed watching him run that race!

P.P.P.S.  Hi mom!  (Just saying hi for no reason.  My mom reads every one of my posts btw...cute...right?).  Hope you have a good weekend mom.  Will call after the event and let you know how it goes.

A JEWEL OF AN APARTMENT - NEW YORK LOFT LIVING!

Love this NYC loft apartment belonging to New York jewelry designer Zani Gugelmann.  A wonderful mix of old and new in a open space.

1960s Italian Boomerang chairs are part of the small light filled reading area in the bedroom. (above)

A brass bull sculpture from Jonathan Adler's collection sits on the nightstand table in the bedroom. (above)

A vintage 1950s metal desk transforms a wall into a tiny home office. (above)

I would move into this loft happily.  How about you?

Happy Monday!

P.S.   Fun weekend.  Two dinners.  First dinner on Friday night with BN, SN and TE at Il Piccolino - great company and such a cute old school restaurant.  2nd dinner was on Saturday night with sis DS, TE and good friend JD at the Soho House.  We had a great time.

P.P.S.  Yesterday TE and I were having a late brunch in Venice...and in walks actor Adam Sandler.  I was not at all cool about this celebrity sighting because I was so surprised to see him.  There were only two tables of people in this small restaurant and we were sitting the near the door...so when Adam walked in, I inadvertently yelped and grabbed TE's arm.  So much for being cool but casual.

TILE FILE: A HOUSE FULL OF TILES!

Love these tiles on the floor of this home is in Greece.  Cement tiles I think.  In black, red and gray.  They look Moroccan to me.  So lovely.  Who said tile makes a room cold?  I didn't.  I like this!

I love the way the same tiles are used in both indoor and outdoor spaces.  Nice.  Very nice.

Happy Thursday (again)!

P.S.  Tomorrow, am doing an art giveaway on the blog from an up and coming designer/artist.  Please tune in tomorrow for your chance to enter.

P.P.S.  I was at Wholefoods last night and an older man walked up to me.  He was holding a jug of apple juice.  He said to me..."What is in this apple juice...is it just apples...I cannot tell".  I read the front and it said "Organic apple juice".  On the back, listing the ingredients it only said: "Ingredients: Apple Juice".  I said, "I guess this apple juice is made out of apple juice?"  The older man said, "This drives me crazy every time.  How can a jug of apple juice say the ingredients are "apple juice""...I shrugged my shoulders.  Baffling.  He was right.  It is like saying the ingredient in a frozen pizza is frozen pizza OR the ingredient in butter is butter.  While the man seemed a little loopy, he was spot on in his observation.  As I left the store, I could hear him asking someone else "What is in this apple juice...is it just apples...I cannot tell.".  LOL!
