A LAKE HOUSE KITCHEN!

April 28, 2011
  • Share
Eat in Kitchen with banquette seating with lime green cushions, a long wood table, metal chairs, pendant lights, paitned wood floor, and white casement windows

Love this lake house eat-in kitchen designed by renowned New York architect Gil Schafer.

The kitchen is in a lake side home built in 1919. The home was clearly renovated respecting the history and charm but updated adding modern conveniences and stylish detailing.

I am a little obsessed with built in banquette seating so I’m loving the wrap around built in window bench that doubles as breakfast nook seating.  And the windows…hello!  The corner of  paned windows is magnificent…letting light and cheer stream into this sweet cooking and eating space.  I also am adoring the shiny painted wood floor (looks like a light blue or grey color).

Kitchen with white beadboard cabinet drawers, a stainless farmhouse sink, lime green upper cabinet interiors and a striped rug
The kitchen has a modern country feel with bead board cabinet doors, a stainless farmhouse sink and upper cabinet interiors getting a lovely dose of lime green color! (above)

What do you think of this lake house eat-in?  Would you want to eat in here?  What might you take…what might you leave?  Please tell.

Happy Thursday!

P.S.  1) I need a lake house;  2) wearing a cute purple Tory Burch dress to work today…have drinks tonight; 3)  Now that Lent is over and I can go back to eating bread…need to show some restraint…difficult; 4) was up until 2:30a dealing with a potential COCOCOZY client abroad; 5) caffeine essential this morning; 6) back to purple dress, was getting it fitted and the tailor kept looking at my hips and shaking his head…I think he thinks dress is too tight or that I need bigger…dress is size 4…I think it fits just right but we’ll see…now I think everyone is looking at hips and shaking head thanks to tailor…lady tailor though thought dress was just right; 7) Juan, my handy guy, rescued my huge market umbrella from my roof on Tuesday…now I need new market umbrella as this one keeps flying out of stand, see COCOCOZY Twitter feed for pictures of flying market umbrella under Dilemma of the Day; 8) I could go on and on but I will let you get back to your day!  Have a good one dear readers!

    You are hilarious! I enjoyed your comments just as much as I adore that kitchen!

    I love banquet seating, too. It creates such a family atmosphere! And love white kitchens!

    3)Seriously.

Behind-the-scenes: Fun work trip to visit the COCOBehind-the-scenes: Fun work trip to visit the COCOCOZY bedding collection at the Welspun showroom in New York. 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!
