My House

My Courtyard: Noticing Beauty From A Different Perspective

March 20, 2018
  • Share

The world changes when we change our perspective.

Every day I’m noticing little things about my new home in Beverly Hills that makes me fall even more in love with this property. The other day I was walking around the back of the house through the gated tunnel to my courtyard, when I realized I had never seen the view from this angle before.

I know this may seem like a trivial example, but it got me thinking about how we have the power to take what we see every day and look at it from a different perspective and be enlightened to even more beauty.

The only thing we can control in this life is our perspective. A person on the ground views the Empire State Building differently than the person on the top floor… but the Empire State Building is still the Empire State Building. We all have different life experiences to bring to the table, and every opinion is valuable and worthy of consideration. In this difficult and divisive climate, I think a few more open minds and a few more people willing to walk in another person’s shoes could quite literally change the world.

Same courtyard, different perspective.

We can choose if we want to see the world positively or negatively — and I don’t know about you, but that makes me feel excited and powerful!

“There are no facts, only interpretations.” – Friedrich Nietzsche

“If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.” – Wayne Dyer

I encourage you to spend extra time today witnessing all the beauty that surrounds you.

xo!

COCOCOZY at Home: Time for another micro makeover! I found these iron chairs at the Long Beach flea market years and years ago. With a little love and inspiration from my favorite @casamidyjorge, I was able to get these chair living room ready! Swipe left to see the before and then click the link in my bio to see how I made the transformation. #socococozy #bringstylehome

When the bougainvillea match the house door ... Wow, so stunning! As you know from my courtyard, I absolutely love bougainvillea and I'm all about the way this house uses them for its exterior landscape. Kudos to @photobyshannon for capturing this gorgeous shot!

COCOCOZY at Home: Post-work is the perfect time to wind down and relax in the living room. Do you agree? I always aim to set aside time for rest and relaxation, but more often than not, I end up getting into something (like renovating a home!) 🤣 #socococozy #bringstylehome

Ok, so I'm a week late for #NationalSiblingsDay ... I'm always late on these extra national holidays! Who can keep up? Well, anyway, shout out to my big sis DS. I am so, so lucky to have her as my sibling. We were actually together having dinner on National Siblings Day and didn't even realize we should have been celebrating.

COCOCOZY Travels: Daydreaming of unforgettable vacations. My trip to Greece was truly one for the books and I can't wait until the next time I visit. Swipe left for a couple more snaps from the getaway. Who has visited Greece? What was your favorite stop? #sococozy

Must love a great two-toned kitchen. Right? I'm all about color blocking (have you seen my rug collection?!) and I'm totally into the juxtaposition of the large monochromatic blocks of color in this kitchen — and rooms in general. I'm actually considering using this look on the Spanish fixer upper house I am working on. Swipe left and then click the link in my bio for more of my favorite two-toned finds. #socococozy #bringstylehome
