Blue + White Den Progress – Rug Roulette

October 10, 2017
  • Share

Caution. This story features pictures of my blue + white den decor in progress. This is an unfinished project that I am bringing to you well before it is done.  You might say “That’s not smart” and “Why would she do that?” and “Shouldn’t she just show the picture perfect stuff here?” and “Clearly she didn’t consult with her best friend who would have told her to finish decorating the room up and then show it…”.  Most design savvy folks would of course wait for the tahdah moment when all is beautiful and then share on their well read website!  “Not I” said the fly.  Remember, I have that thing my friends and I call OSS (over sharing syndrome).  I cannot help myself…I have so many ideas and thoughts swirling around in my mind that they just spin out of the vortex and end up here on the blog.  This OSS means I end up not at all following the norm…when I get excited about something…I cannot be discreet.  I must share.   Anyhooo…this story started when 10 COCOCOZY rugs were delivered to my new house…

BEFORE– Here is a photo of the den before I moved into the house.  It had faux finished walls and saltillo tile floors.  Kept the floors. Painted walls white.

When I moved into this house, the little den was being used as a guest bedroom.  It had western themed faux finished walls – cute and part of what the owner was trying to do with the decor but too dark and not my style.  I immediately painted everything bright white (Benjamin Moore Super White). I got a slipcovered sofa (with two different blue slip covers) and then decided to let the decor kind of come together.

A few weekends ago, the den decorating got an injection of style when I had ten of rugs delivered to my house.  The special thing about this delivery is that they were all rugs from my collection!  Was soooo exciting to have rugs that I designed at my disposal for decorating my new spot.  So I went on a rug switching out frenzy for one morning.  This small blue + white den in the back of the house was privy to two rug swap outs and a few sofa slipcover changes.  The color scheme in den is blue and white.  The den is a work in progress…not done yet at all.I still need to hang art on the walls to make it truly cozy.  Also, bestie AM says I will need some bold color added in.

 

Okay so back to the work in progress in this blue and white den.  Here are 3 looks ( or 4 … al kind of similar).  Which would you pick?

BLUE WHITE DEN – LOOK 1 (below)

My sister loaned my her midcentury modern black Paul McCobb table for this room.  It goes well with the COCOCOZY Oxford Rug

Love the crystal blue color of this Glace Rug. This rug comes in 3 other colors.  I will be trying a few of those out too!

BONUS LOOK – TWO TONED SOFA (below)

This one…I mixed up the sofa instead of the rug.  Mix matched slipcovers to make a two toned sofa.  What do you think!

For this rug roulette, I used the following COCOCOZY rugs and accessories:

COCOCOZY Oxford Rug

COCOCOZY Glace Rug

COCOCOZY Logo Throw

Was so fun using items from my collection in my house.  Right now the Glace rug in crystal blue is in the den.  I also have red rug that I will try out this coming weekend.  Please weigh in…let me know which look you are leaning towards.  Next up…art…maybe even some window coverings.

Happy Tuesday!

    Love all your rugs, but three works best because of the scale of the design. Great house!

    Definitely not the two toned sofa. Navy sofa and glace rug is my pick! Simpler, cleaner, more sophisticated.

    I like blue sofa & rug together the best in look 1 but way too much blue & pattern with the pillows and throw for me…needs a pop of different color (orange or green) or a neutral to balance…However I LOVE the light blue linen sofa & leather poof in look 2 but not with the rugs…they seem like different looks to me…. linen & leather casual… rug seems more glam …
    Keep playing!!

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!
