Exactly six years ago today, I curated a blog about bright white kitchens. And the kitchen design is still wildly popular. Anyone who knows me knows my deep love for bright white kitchens…I mean it is a love at first sight kind of relationship I have with these kitchens…they are just so fabulous. Clean lines, smooth surfaces, open spaces…all of that sounds perfectly lovely doesn’t it…am I convincing anyone that you should join the bright white kitchen bandwagon? If you’re still on the fence then maybe my updated white kitchen round-up will persuade you!

I’m going to leave on a trip soon. As I started making my packing list, I discovered I want some new summer staples. It’s funny how a simple search for flat sandals and a new dress grew into a full-fledged desire for a total wardrobe revamp. Who can resist all of the wonderful summer trends? Not to mention the impact of our favorite celebrities, who usually sport their summer looks effortlessly. Have you seen the recent photos from the Cannes Film Festival? (I need to remind myself to plan a trip to Cannes for next year.) To guarantee I don’t miss anything, I enlisted my fabulous team to scour the internet for the very BEST summer fashion trends of 2023.

Back in 2021, I gave my patio a complete makeover, transforming it into my personal oasis. The two-year anniversary has just passed and I am reminiscing on the process of fixing my leaking patio, into one of my favorite spots in my home.

Outer furniture played a huge role in my patio makeover. Within the large space, I added a sectional and two armchairs. The furniture is laid out perfectly in each corner, perfect to host guests. Outer has extended its Memorial Day sale where you can get up to 30% off with the code EXTENDED.

I adore charming cottage renovations. Mainly, because I lived in a small cottage in Los Angeles. So when I see a uniquely renovated cottage it piques my interest. I discovered this lovely home in House & Garden. This pale stone cottage, with its charming turrets and gables inspired by Scottish castles, has undergone a remarkable renovation that seamlessly blends history with modern design. Influenced by her Norwegian roots and years in Portugal, the current owner has transformed this cottage into a practical yet aesthetically pleasing home for her family. Each room has intricate details using vintage materials and elegant wallpapers. The owner collaborated with Gloucestershire-based architect Christian Fleming to help expand the property to fit her four children comfortably. The 16th-century cottage feels like it came from a fairytale. Scroll below to see the rest of the home.

Happy Memorial Day! Here’s some kitchen inspiration to help get you inspired for this holiday. There are a lot of Memorial Day sales happening until tomorrow.

Renovations have been top of mind for the COCOCOZY Team lately.  Recently, we have been doing a lot of musing about waterfall counters for kitchen islands.  The idea is that the surface you use as your kitchen countertop waterfalls down the sides of the island cabinetry.  The visual effect is that it looks like the kitchen island is wrapped in marble, quartz, concrete, wood, or metal for a chic, seamless look. Keep reading to hear about these cool counters and see seven examples that the COCOCOZY Team is in love with.

The picturesque pad is located in the prestigious Wild Rose Shores community. Take a tour of this Maryland estate! I hope it gives you inspiration for your coastal-style home.

Take a peak inside a beautiful Greek revival farmhouse. The home is located in Pawling, New York, and was originally built in the 1860s. The home renovation focused on giving the space a modern upgrade while preserving the charm of the old farmhouse. Interior designer, Nina Garbiras, founder of New York–based design studio FIG, took on this project to help create a modern farmhouse that is both visually appealing and functional for their clients. Today’s blog is about the farmhouse mudroom design. Take a tour of the room.

Last summer I took a trip to the east coast and went island hopping. This year, I’ll be doing the same thing. I’ll be traveling to Martha’s Vinyard, Nantucket, and the Hamptons.

With its rugged beauty, charming town, and pristine beaches, this captivating island off the coast of Massachusetts is one of my favorite summer getaways. I sat down and narrowed down the best hotels in Nantucket that I’m considering staying at for the summer.

Last week, Architectural Digest posted a tour of a beautiful New Orleans home designed by an architect for his family. The Louisiana city is one of my favorite places to visit. I was actually supposed to visit this year for Mardi Gras, but I ended up not being able to go. It was a total bummer. I love admiring the architecture and eating (too much) food. It’s always a fabulous time!

So today’s blog is all about this beautiful center-hall style home. It was originally built in the 1840s and was renovated many times throughout the years. Architect, Morris Adjmi, discovered the home in 2016 and absolutely fell in love. So I rounded up some of my favorite rooms from his home below! It’s worth taking a few minutes and admiring the home tour.
