BLOCKS OF BLUE!

I love the color blue. I also love seeing solid blocks of uninterrupted blue in home decor. Here are some fab photos of blocks of blue used to decorate. It works in bedrooms, living rooms, on walls, on furniture like chairs and even on stairs. No need for busy prints or patterns when it comes to blue. Just a solid punch of it here or there or all over works!

Any shade blue is good too…turquoise, dark blue, royal blue, aqua, cobalt blue, teal, baby blue, navy blue, powder blue and of course Tiffany Blue…they all can make a room complete.

Try a bold block of solid blue in your house, home, apartment, country cottage or city loft…and send me a picture…would love to see how it looks!

Worn turquoise stairs

My favorite of these blue photos is the staircase in aqua blue (or is that turquoise…never know the difference). There is something so beachy rustic chic about these worn stairs and the color. I love the idea of using blue on the floor!

Which is your favorite?

    I have to say that I love those stairs too! A close second is the turquoise wall with that fab black and white clock. Also love the bright yellow in that photo. What a fun room!

    I like the Lynn Morgan Design picture the best. It’s such a great shot especially at that angle looking towards the fireplace. A light and summery looking room!

    I think my favorite is the livingroom with the blue built in. I love the idea of painting a built in cabinet a fun color. I also think it’s fun to walpaper the back panels inside the shelving. LOVE blue! I don’t have much of it in my house…I think I need to change that.

    I really like what Lynn Morgan Design did with that living room. Just enough blue to really make it pop. Thanks for sharing these pictures.

    In our last post, our featured house had wonderful Carolina Blue Floors throughout. It gives the house an outside–in porch feel that we love.

    Love the Stairs! Looks like the same turquoise that native Americans use around windows and doors to keep evil spirits from coming inside the home. Beautiful!

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!
