A TWO TONED ENTRY WAY + A COCOCOZY GIVEAWAY!

May 13, 2011
  • Share
Black and white entry way with herringbone wood floor and a chandelier

As most of you may know Google’s Blogger platform went down for a day and erased most information going back to early Wednesday for most bloggers. Yikes. Was a bit stressful but less stressful knowing everyone was in the same boat.

This Blogger crash has meant five things for COCOCOZY!

1. My posts from yesterday are gone…I even forgot what they were for a moment there (short term memory…I can barely remember what just happened five minutes ago, let alone yesterday).  Lucky for me there’s COCOCOZY Facebook which just helped refresh my memory…maybe I can cobble that post back together again maybe. Oy…so much for moving forward in life. When Blogger goes down and loses all of one’s information…it means taking a bit of a step back…not the worst thing in life…I think we blogging types will survive…but still a step back…hmmmm…thanks Google!

2. Now that Blogger is back up, the good bloggers are revealed because they had already scheduled their posts or had content ready to go…I didn’t…hmmmm….grrrr….my procrastinating gene is exposed! Thanks again Google!

3.  I am bringing you this gorgeous entryway late in the day today!  So sorry.  Love it though…two tones and all.  Love the chair rail that separates the black painted bottom of the wall and the white top…best of best worlds.  It all works…chandelier, arched doorways, black and white walls and all!

4. All the readers who wanted to enter the fabulous first official COCOCOZY giveaway on uber blog Coco+Kelley couldn’t enter for the last day or so. And to make matters worse, well over 200 comments/entries on Coco+Kelley were lost in this Blogger crash…so if you entered any time after Wednesday morning, your entry is lost in cyberspace!

5. Good news is…you can still head over to fabulous Cassandra Lavalle’s mega interior design blog Coco+Kelley to enter for a chance to win a COCOCOZY Gate throw in navy OR a COCOCOZY Quatrefoil pillow in brown (see below)! Yippeeee!!!

Remember to enter that giveaway.  Lastly, as of today, the COCOCOZY Candle collection is up on the COCOCOZY Shop too!

Anyhooo…enough of my ramblings…back to design…what do you think of this entry hall? Like, love, detest or are indifferent?

Happy Friday!

P.S. A huge thank you to amazing Los Angeles interior designer Hillary Thomas for mentioning COCOCOZY as one of her fave blogs on the Lucky Magazine site!  Hillary the feeling is mutual!

    Hi Coco, when blogger went down it looked like it erased some posts, however they came back on my page and it looks like on your page as well from what I’ve seen since I’m always checking your page:) I think you might be good (I believe). None the less, I love this hall. I think hallways tend to get no love and it’s always nice when someone pays attention to all the details that make a space come together.

    Liking the entryway. Very classic. The only thing bothering me is that the black seems to be flat, and I’d like it more glossy. Maybe it’s just the photo, or maybe it’s just me. My favorite parts are the arches and the herringbone wood floor.

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!
