Hues of green will be very popular during the fall and winter seasons. Dark olive, in particular, is a color to watch out for when it comes to interior design. It’s the perfect shade to add richness to a room. If you are looking to spice up your kitchen then I would recommend an olive green kitchen. Paint your cabinets with a dark hue to create a luxurious and warm look. No matter what style you want to design your kitchen after, olive green can get the job done. If you’re still unsure about painting your kitchen green, then check out the three reasons why you should just in time for fall!

Do you want more kitchen inspiration? Check out this post here.

1. Timeless Color

Olive is a classic color that will never go out of style. It’s sophisticated and will transform any kitchen. Whether you prefer a more modern or traditional-looking kitchen, the olive-colored theme will look amazing in anyone’s home. It complements neutral shades and dark tones such as navy or maroon. You can use olive as an accent shade for a kitchen island to add some contrast to your white or oak cabinets. No matter what season you’re in, your olive green kitchen will remain an eye-catching part of the house. It truly is a timeless color that will elevate the look of your home. You won’t regret having olive kitchen walls.

2. Add Some Drama to Your Life

If you feel like your kitchen is dull, then dark olive green kitchen cabinets are the perfect color to add to make your kitchen pop and stand out! It certainly adds some drama compared to the boring old kitchen colors that everyone else has. An olive kitchen will give you that “wow” factor that you are looking for in your kitchen design. Try adding gold accents and finishes for a more luxurious finish.

3. Be Unique

I guarantee if you walk into your friends’ kitchens, you will not see an olive green kitchen. You will probably see white, grey, oak or amber cabinets. It’s not a bad thing, but it’s so common. Don’t be like your friends! Step outside of the social norm and do something different. Make your house unique! Olive green kitchen paint will elevate any average kitchen style. Design is all about discovering what you like or dislike and having fun with the things you enjoy. An olive green kitchen can help transform the style of your home and your life!

Benefits of Olive Green Cabinets

Dark olive green cabinets have so much versatility! There are so many different shades of it you can create a whole monochromatic look in the kitchen just by making things a shade lighter or darker. You can make your counters sage green, cabinets dark green, and tables a farmhouse green. And they also work so well with so many different styles. Whether your style is more modern, classic, mid-century or any other type of design, olive green will complement them well. In case you’re not convinced yet, olive green also adds a touch of sophistication and warmth to your kitchen. If you’re going for the cozy and familial vibe, olive green will be the thing that helps you accomplish that.

How to Pair Olive Green Cabinets With Other Colors

Don’t know what colors go with olive green? We got you! If you’re looking to add some brighter colors to light up your kitchen, white will go super well with your olive green cabinets. Or maybe you want something more cool and neutral-toned. In that case, beige, tan or grey will be the colors for you. If you want some stark contrast of colors in your kitchen, try red or maroon. Contrasting colors help draw attention to the objects and your kitchen will become the ‘main attraction’ of your house. No matter how you’re trying to design your kitchen, there are a variety of colors that can work with olive green. An olive green kitchen with some complementary or contrasting colors will for sure elevate your kitchen and home and create a more elegant and cozy feeling.

Met with some buyers, had a fun time with the Welspun team, then capped off the weekend with a visit with friends. It is a long process to get bedding in stores across the country...showing the collections at textiles market is one of the first steps!
If you're interested in learning how I have gotten @cococozy products into stores around the country over the years including in major retailers...follow along...just one entrepreneur's journey. :)

Today is my birthday but...I don’t want to celeb Today is my birthday but...I don’t want to celebrate...I want to help.
I want to make a meaningful impact in our greater Los Angeles community suffering from the fires. I invite you to join me in transforming birthday wishes into support for one local organization on the ground in Pasadena/Altadena.
I have made a contribution today already to the LA Fire Relief Fund created by @victorybiblechurch in Pasadena. They are actively assisting families in need in both Pasadena and Altadena who have been affected by the devastating Eaton Fire.
Although I don't have a personal connection to Pastor DeCuir or the church, I was searching for an organization that is helping in the Altadena area. A well respected civil rights attorney I follow @leemerrittesq is on the ground helping the church members and community members with legal services in the wake of the fires. I hope by contributing to their efforts, we can extend a helping hand to those facing significant challenges during this difficult time
To donate, please visit their website at https://vbcpasadena.org/ (link in bio as well). Every contribution, no matter the size, brings hope and relief to those who need it most. Tell them you heard about them from me.
Your generosity to the Los Angeles community is the best birthday gift I could ask for.

Happy New Year! 🎉✨ As we step into this freshHappy New Year! 🎉✨ As we step into this fresh chapter, I’m reminded of the beauty of starting anew and I like recommitting to goals at the top of the year. Nothing set in stone but just an overall vision of what I'd like to do and who I would hope to help along the way.
This year, my mantra is: **dream big, act boldly, treasure the small joys, continue to lead with kindness and to have as much empathy as possible for others **. Just a few things...😂
I’m also deeply committed to helping people who follow along to achieve their dreams. I'll be curating captivating interior design inspiration with COCOCOZY that will hopefully give you ideas and dreams for your own space. I will also be empowering you to realize the value of your influence with Chirpyest by earning cash back for sharing and shopping. I hope to be open about the journey of the COCOCOZY product line. I want to share real time behind the scenes how the line is being built and how we are growing Chirpyest; both examples of the not so linear journey of building businesses from the ground up. I hope these stories spark you to push your own boundaries and shake out of your comfort zones.
Lastly, in 2025, I’m committed to surrounding myself with people who have a positive vibe about them while striving to be that same light for others. Luckily, I have a great start on this with an amazing family and fantastic group of friends - a fantastic support network.
My wish for you in 2025: May this year bring you clarity, courage, and the confidence to pursue all that makes you happy.
What’s one thing you’re committing to in 2025? Let’s inspire each other in the comments! 💬❤️
Let's get to this...am ready 2025!
