A TRADITIONAL HOME WITH AN ECLECTIC TWIST IN GREENWICH!

March 5, 2013
  • Share
Hallway with blue stained wood floors, black paneled doors and a black chair with geometric arms

I like this Greenwich, CT home decorated by interior design personality Thom Filicia. A home filled with lots of texture and decorated in an eclectic but traditional style.  Going to be painting my tiny little den soon in my home…wondering if I should try blue like the library below.  Hmmm…thinking.

a beige couch sits in a living room in front of two large black framed windows with patterned floor length curtains. Two large blocks of wood are in front of the couch to serve as a coffee table.
breakfast nook with four chairs made of a large wicker weave surrounding a wooden table with a serving tray holding a vase of flowers, a glass ball and a pair of horns. The room is lit by large black framed windows with floor length patterned curtains
Library with blue walls with a large blue painting on the wall, a blue couch with patterned pillows and a Moroccan rug with blue accents
Den
Bedroom with Seagrass walls, raffia headboard and white nightstand with raffia accents

What do you think of this designed home? Anything stand out to you.

Happy Tuesday!

P.S. I guess this week is West Week in Los Angeles. Some kind of design week. Even though I’ve been blogging for almost 6 years on interiors…I’m always the last one to know about any of these design weeks here in Los Angeles. So much for being on the pulse of all things design. So, just learned that my favorite fabric showroom in town, Harbinger, is having a little reception tonight. I will have to swing by Harbinger with CM who runs all things operations at COCOCOZY. I was at a t.v. show shoot for my regular job until about 11:30p last night (we shot on the streets of Hollywood)…so I am a little tired looking (really)…but I’ll try to show up.

P.P.S. Gave up all gluten, potatoes, corn, sugar and dried mangoes for Lent this year. I think I may he gaining weight though…because I’ve allowed myself rice! Arggghhhhhhh. Help. Argggghhhhhh….may have to give up rice too (not for Lent but just because I’m over eating it during Lent because I can’t eat anything else)…but then what will I eat…? I know…fruits, vegetables, chicken, fish…blah blah blah…life is so dull without any good bad-for-you-carbohydrates. Woe is me. First world problem…I know.

P.P.P.S. Got a nice email from interior designer Kate Jackson.  I met Kate several years ago at an event at interior designer Michael Smith’s house in Los Angeles. Anyhooo…Kate ordered some COCOCOZY fabric for one of her clients awhile back and just shared with me how she used it. Here just below is a picture of the bedroom Kate designed in her client’s house for a college age girl.  You can see the rest of the house on Kate’s Pinterest page.  Love seeing COCOCOZY textiles in this room! Thanks for sharing this photo Kate!

    I love Thom’s work! I have known him since he first started before the days of Queer eye. Not only is he talented but he is a genuine kind and nice person

    I really enjoy Thom Filicia’s work and his genuineness. I love his central NY lake home near where I grew up, and a place I think of often and miss very much. His style and use of color just screams “welcome” and come in and enjoy yourself. He seems able to combine color, texture and such cool design elements effortlessly. Really enjoyed seeing what he designed for this homeowner. Thanks!
    PS nice use of your beautiful textiles in the bedroom. Lucky young lady. Hope your food choices for Lent become a little easier for you!

Panic mode activated!
If you only have 10 minutes, focus on these three things:
1. Make the bed. It instantly makes the whole room look cleaner.
2. Fold or straighten the throw blanket and pillows.
3. Clear visible clutter from nightstands and the floor.
That’s it. Those three steps make the biggest visual impact without deep cleaning.
Save this for the next time you need a fast bedroom reset. 🔖

Black is not a bold choice. It’s a neutral, and one of the most versatile ones in design.
The rooms that get it right treat black the same way others treat white or greige: as a foundation that lets everything else breathe. The texture of the wall. The warmth of the wood. The drama of the marble. Black doesn’t compete, it amplifies.
Save this the next time someone talks you out of going dark. 🖤

Life when I’m offline. 🎣 On this trip to Park CitLife when I’m offline. 🎣
On this trip to Park City, UT, I was way off line with a little fly fishing. No emails. No DMs. No feed. Just a rod, a beautiful river, and however long it takes to catch something.
Running two brands means my brain rarely stops so when it does, it really does.
No fish were harmed. All fish were returned into the river.
What do you do when you log off? Comment and let's give each other some ideas!😀

15 things you don’t know about me 👋 1. I’m the fo15 things you don’t know about me 👋
1. I’m the founder of COCOCOZY, but design wasn’t my first career. I was a t.v. news reporter and then a t.v. executive.
2. I’m also the founder of a tech company, Chirpyest.
3. My work has been featured in Architectural Digest and House Beautiful.
4. I designed an entire Design House from scratch.
5. I’m obsessed with mixing vintage flea market finds with modern furniture.
6. Paris is basically my second home. I go every chance I get.
7. I once found a pile of rusty horseshoes at a flea market and turned them into decor.
8. Black and white is my go-to palette when I’m stuck on a design.
9. I am an expert at making a short story long! 😬
10. I believe a side table can make or break a room.
11. Kindness is genuinely one of my core values, not just a bio line.
12. I’ve been doing design and content long enough to have opinions on everything from rugs to real estate. 18 years!
13. I’m just as happy on a flea market hunt as I am at a design fair.
14. My camera roll is 70% room shots, 20% selfies (obsessed with skincare and fashion these days) 10% coffee in Paris cafés.
15. I started sharing all this because I love it, not because it was the “smart” thing to do.
Now you know a little more about the person behind COCOCOZY 🤍 Which one surprised you most? Tell me below.
