APPEALING APARTMENT DESIGN!

May 8, 2013

LOVE this apartment…the collection of furniture, the modern sensibility and the overall hue!  Fantastic.  Nubby gray Bo Concept rug and sofa from there too. Custom modern white coffee table on casters (wheels).  These standard pieces are all complimented by an array of midcentury modern looking arm chairs and a classic black Thonet bentwood chair.  Of course, you know me, I love the white wood floors.

Look is achieved with a very neutral base (if you take away all of the accessories) all in black white and grays and then textures and patterns are layered in the form of art, pillows, lighting, lamps and other items.

The built in book shelf that divides the kitchen from the living space is fantastic…a functional dividing wall.

What do you think of this apartment?  Like or dislike?  Does it need more color or are you fine with the black, white, silver and a bit of brown?

Happy Wednesday!

P.S.  Been having nice meetings lately with fab Hollywood agent HM.  He’s been introducing me around to his colleagues.   He’s nice.

P.P.S.  Have been doing a Vegan before 6pm diet (there is some new book out that says be a vegan by day and then a carnivore by night…am always game for trying something new).  Am a total airhead though.  I pranced out of my office at lunch time the other day singing, “I am Vegan before 6. Vegan before 6.  Vegan before 6”.  Everyone just looked at me as if I was kooky.  I walked across the way with a person in my office, I ordered lunch and came back and started eating it.  After I had taken several bites, a person in my office who was also eating the same lunch selection said, “Just thought of something…that turkey chili is not vegan”.  Duh.  I do have quite a few airhead moments.  Uhh…what about ordering “turkey chili” would ever make me think “vegan”?  Tomorrow is another day!

    I think this apartment looks fabulous! It does not need any more color. So serene and lovely.

    I love this apartment, so crisp and organized…I love the black and white and touch of wood, I would have put something brown or same colour of wood chairs on the other side of the room to balance it…maybe even a brown vase… but other than that I wouldn’t change a thing…beautiful!

    Good idea regarding balancing with a bit of brown!

    I love the black, white, ivory and charcoal. Chic minimalism at its best.
    Thanks for posting these great rooms.

    I love this!! White floors, yes. I would do with less pillows in the living and allow the art to give the gorgeous texture it does. Been following you for quite some time and LOVE it. Thank you!!!

    I love the crisp, clean feel, but I would infuse a tiny bit of color maybe in a vase of flowers or a couple of throw pillows or a piece of art. It is quite striking thoug

    I LOVE this apartment! By the way, lack of protein is a big reason for space brain, sounds like you need the meat in the chili! I would also say vegan in the day and met at night is NOT a healthy diet for your hormones or endocrine system, in fact, the opposite would be better for a woman, or anyone busy or who is feeling lightheaded. We women destroy our thyroids and our bodies abilities to regulate our food nutrients from all these wacky and misconstrued ways of eating. Eat the heavier food during the day when you need it and while you are actively burning it off all day. Eat lighter at night when your body is more sedentary and your cortisol can rest.

    Love this apartment! I’ve been a vegan for 2 years and would never go back. Good luck.

    This apartment is most favourable for a couple to stay on as it’s nice, simple and has a charming look.

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!
