When I was designing the COCOCOZY design house I was so inspired by dining rooms with black chairs. I knew for the design house doing all black chairs would be too much but more on that later! I was inspired to compile all of these images in order to share my inspiration and hopefully provide some design ideas. There are so many different styles and ways to design a dining room around black dining room chairs. Let’s check these images out!

Today is a stunning West Coast House Tour. There is nothing quite like a beachy neutral designed home. While I may never own one I could look at images of them all day. The owner of this breathtaking home is the owner of the natural skincare line Lesse. It’s very clear that the owners of this home embrace the neutral color palette in all aspects of life. Let’s check out this amazing home! 

Recently, I’ve been obsessed with exploring restaurant interiors. There’s just something breathtaking about walking into a perfectly designed restaurant. The colors, furniture, lighting, and scent all add together to create an ambiance. A restaurant is basically an extended home. A place to enjoy a meal in a beautiful or unique space. The space is just as important as the food they are serving. Let’s explore a handful of incredible restaurant interiors throughout the US and a few European locations.

If I could do a Paris Apartment Tour every week I would. I’m a huge fan of Parisian style. The clothing, the food, the architecture, the interiors – all of it just fascinates me. There’s just such an effortless beauty to the French way. That appreciation translates over to French Interiors. There’s such a unique combination of architecture, vintage, and modern. I’m a huge fan of the French brand Sézane that when I found images of her Paris Apartment I knew I would have to share! 

Best of beauty is something I finally feel like I can write about. I’ve been really into beauty products lately – browsing, researching, and trying new things! I figured its about time I share some of my favorite finds. A variety of these products I’ve tried and loved, other are I’ve researched and are on my list, and others my friends have raved about. 

This Tudor House Tour is a spectacular home in LA. I love hearing about renovations and bringing old homes back to life which is exactly what happened to this home. The original idea was to re-do this home back to its original glory but after some work, a lot of structural issues came up. They got a bit more than they bargained for but were able to really customize this space to their needs. The final design turned out amazing! 

I love this light and refreshing bedroom decor by Amanda Barnes Interior Design and photographed by Alyssa Rosenheck. Waking up in this space would be so rejuvenating. I really favor a nice simple refreshing bedroom like this one for making the waking up process so much better.  This well edited and simple room definitely proves less is more. The added character of the natural tone Restoration Hardware Caned Bed and the pinstripe throw with the pom poms are the the perfect combination to the faded blue rug.  See more details below!      

I’ve always been fascinated by hotel interior design. And, as boutique hotels have grown in popularity the design is getting better and better. I love searching for boutique hotels every time I travel. There’s nothing better than planning my next trip or dreaming about new places to travel. I could get lost on the internet for days exploring locations, scenery, food, and hotels. On my last travel binge, I found a handful of incredible hotels to add to my list. These hotels are all very different in design style, but all special in their own way.

Today I’m highlighting a blogger turned mega entrepreneur – Justina Blakeney. She is known for her blog turned interior design store Jungalow. Her products cover a wide variety of products: bed + bath, art, home decor, planters, kitchen, and more! She has written two books in the last few years and has an interior goods line with Anthropology. She has partnered with more than a handful of incredible brands and is a public speaker. This woman is unstoppable! 

I need to plan a fall getaway!  San Francisco is calling my name.  I have lots of friends up north and a cousin too.  I definitely have the bay area on my mind these days!  San Francisco has a wonderful array of short term rental homes perfect for a vacation or longer stay! San Francisco has been on my mind lately and I’ve been spending some time looking into rentals. I discovered during my research that San Francisco is trying to shut down the number of rental properties like this so there are much fewer listings than in previous years. But not to worry! I found a handful of great spaces at various price points. Let’s check these homes out!

Tiny apartments are such a fun topic. As someone who lives in LA, I love having a spacious home and many rooms to decorate. It just feels like a complete space that represents me. Lately, I’ve been browsing some of my favorite interior websites and seeing a lot of small apartment design. It’s incredible how much you can fit in 500 sq feet or less.

I really enjoy looking at Los Angeles home interiors. So many brilliant designers are based here and you simply can’t beat Westcoast style. Here is a round-up of some beautiful celeb homes around the L.A. area! 

I’ve been seeing so many incredible closets lately and have some closet envy! There’s nothing quite like a beautifully designed closet. Creating a space to seamlessly organize your clothing is a big task. There is a ton of great closet inspiration out there. Here is a collection of some of the best closets I found.

The ultimate bedroom inspiration is turning your space into a personal sanctuary. A space that feels calming, inspiring, and recharges you.

Read on to view some incredible spaces and get inspiration! 

It is that time of year. My absolute favorite fashion season: Pre-Fall. Pre-Fall style is the magical in-between of summer and fall. Even though it is Labor Day today and it feels like summer is over, we still have a few more weeks officially of summer. So it is time for Pre-Fall!! It’s all of the fun of fall fashion without worrying about the cold. Living in California I end up wearing pre-fall much longer than it’s intended to. I couldn’t wait to start browsing this year’s pre-fall collections. And, this season didn’t disappoint.

I can’t help it! I’m a dress girl at heart. Nothing makes me feel more confident and put together than a breathtaking dress. Clothes have such transformative power! Lately, I have been spotting so many Ulla Johnson dresses out and about. I’m a huge fan of the brand and a handful of my favorite dress are hers. If your closet is in need of a mid-summer pick-me-up a Ulla dress is the answer.
