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.
