I never got a proper vacation this summer so I am dying to get away. Any place sounds good. Anywhere. That’s probably why this Italian villa in the Liguria region looked so appealing to me. It is not for rent but I imagine myself spending a relaxing week in nice little historic home like this! The eclectic design is full of character…quite comfy…and definitely cozy. And the views…oh the views…
I’m loving the exterior color of this house…yellow with black shutters and white trim. Wonderful!
Where would you take a fall vacation if you could?
Going to a party at Brooks Brothers in Beverly Hills this evening…friend Social Primer invited a bunch of us to the launch of that new book True Prep (by the same lady who wrote the Preppy Handbook). Need to figure out what I will wear. Hmmmm….need something that I can wear to work today but then looks cute in the evening…arghhhhhh…there I go…I’m stressing myself out…need to go get ready for work! Yikes. Oh boy.
Anyhooo…hope you have a fab Thursday!

P.S. Check out today’s Reader Submission on the COCOCOZY FACEBOOK PAGE. See how a little blue box from Tiffany & Co. inspired reader and friend JLF to do a dresser makeover! Also, make sure to please leave a comment! I think the “after” of the dresser is absolutely fantastic! A must see!

LOVE the exterior on this house. Yellow with black shutters is so elegant. Thanks for posting.
I adore the color and feel of the comfy reading room, and I can just imagine that kitchen bustling with activity — steam, aromas of delicious food, people around the table engaged in animated conversation.
This house is so elegant and so inviting, but also so COZY and COMFORTABLE!! THAT is good design 🙂 Thanks for featuring! How beautiful!
I am reminded of plantation houses in the Caribbean, which of course were inspired by the homes those people came from long ago in places like Italy and Spain. You see the butter-yellow thick tabby walls accented with black shutters all over the place in St Croix, keeping the interiors cool and inviting. Let’s go!
I have just become a fan of your blog- love it!
The villa is gorgeous and inviting! I just want to live there for a month and just be!
I am loving the cozy red sofa! Very bold. Oh, and the library of course…
I love how these grand homes maintain a shabby-chic feel….you never see kitchens like that in the US. They get gutted and “upgraded” every 5 years.
It mus be wonderful to laze around in such a beautiful environment . Thanks for the discoveery coco.

I agree… You hardly find anything like these nowadays. It looks soooo cozy and inviting. Reminds me of grannies and afternoon apple pie moments or vanilla scents!
