Today – a house tour from the COCOCOZY archives. While scrolling through my blog archives, I came across this blog about an East Hampton Compound. It reminded me of when I visited at a very famous compound during the summer. Back in 2013 I wrote about being invited to the historic Kennedy Compound years before right after I graduated from college. The Kennedy estate is nestled on Cape Cod in the picturesque town of Hyannis Port, MA. As I strolled through the white houses surrounded by lush, green lawns leading to the sparkling waters, I felt like I was in a dream. This blog post captured my imagination and brought me back to that visit to Kennedy compound. Although I lack photos from that memorable day, the images are forever etched in my mind—a testament to the grandeur and charm of this iconic family’s estate.

“Okay.  I have said I want a castle, then I said I wanted a farm with a beautiful barn, then I dreamed of a beautiful city penthouse apartment with sparkling city views…I’ve now changed my mind again…I want a compound.  I want my own compound.” — Coco (2013)

By the way…It’s now 2023 and I still want my own compound.

Imagine fulfilling your dream of renovating a captivating Victorian Home in New Orleans. It’s a city renowned for its distinctive character. The style doesn’t have to be limited to Victorian. Any residence that exudes that unique NOLA charm is a canvas for transformation. The thrill of infusing modern elements while preserving historical allure was an irresistible challenge. I experienced this firsthand when reviving a 1930s Spanish Colonial home in Los Angeles.

Recently, my inspiration soared to new heights when I stumbled upon an Architectural Digest feature showcasing a remarkable Victorian home in New Orleans. It’s one of my favorite cities in the world. And it took me by surprise when I saw the exterior of the home was adorned in enchanting shades of pink and green. Samantha Wetton and Alexandra Neu of Lafayette Studio decided to lean into a vibrant color palette for the exterior. It’s not every day that we see a pink and green home! Join me as we embark on a virtual tour of this mesmerizing residence. The home has its own delightful carriage house—a true testament to the perfect blend of past and present.

Since I started to design my COCOCOZY x Welspun collection, I started thinking about different bathroom styles. Did you know the most common bathroom style is a full bath layout? According to the BHG, a 9×5-foot bathroom is one of the most popular designs in a home. So when it comes to designing a bathroom it’s important to incorporate timeless details that also emulate your personal style. My aesthetic for the COCOCOZY Design House was clean and timeless. However, I know that’s not everyone else’s design style. So I went on the hunt to find different interior designers’ take on a timeless primary bathroom design. I spent a few days scrolling the internet and Instagram to find unique bathroom designs that have timeless elements.

I am thrilled to announce my exciting new partnership with Welspun, a renowned textile company that has collaborated with industry icons such as Martha Stweart, Scott Brothers (also known as the Property Brothers from HGTV), and even created a textile collection for Wimbledon. This collaboration is a tremendous honor for the COCOCOZY brand. Welspun approached me after being impressed by the COCOCOZY x etúhome collection at Pottery Barn.

Today, I’m so proud to introduce our latest creation, the COCOCOZY x Welspun Collection. This extraordinary line features a stunning array of bath towels and rugs meticulously crafted to transform your bathroom into a serene sanctuary. Get ready to elevate your bathroom aesthetics to new heights. Learn about my journey with Welspun below.

Modern Kitchen Sinks

Finding the right kitchen sink is no easy task. My friend is remodeling her kitchen and she asked me if I had any ideas. I knew I wrote a blog post about shopping for kitchen sinks. I was right. However, the post is from 2015 so I decided to update the blog post. So if you’re looking for a new sink or just need some kitchen design inspiration, then this blog is for you. Here are some of the latest kitchen sinks! I even left the old copy from the 2015 post so you can learn my kitchen sink design process.

Palm Beach is known for its lavish mansions, chic shopping boutiques, and serene beaches. Making it one of the most popular locations for billionaires, millionaires, and celebrities to spend relax and unwind. Recently, Architectural Digest did an editorial on Aerin Lauder’s French-inspired Palm Beach Mansion. It’s a must-see if you enjoy romantic interiors. Aerin Lauder is an American billionaire heiress and businesswoman who owns AERIN, a global lifestyle brand. Her last name should be familiar to you. Estée Lauder and Joseph Lauder, the co-founders of the cosmetics brand Estée Lauder Companies, are her grandparents.

Aerin teamed up with interior designer, Stephen Sills, to transform the space into her dream home for her family. I’m going to share some of my favorite rooms from the house tour. There are so many enchanting details that left me inspired. Keep reading to learn more about the Palm Beach pad.

Exploring Lisbon’s culinary delights is an adventure in itself. The vibrant dining scene caters to every palate. While I did not get the opportunity to physically sample these three extraordinary restaurants in Lisbon, their reputations and appeal grabbed my interest. Hopefully, when I go to Lisbon again I’ll be able to go.

Join me on a virtual tour of Lisbon’s trending restaurants. Despite never having set foot in these places (I actually did take a photo inside one) their intriguing menus, one-of-a-kind ambiance, and delectable cuisines promise an amazing dining experience.
