BOOK FIRST LOOK – DESIGNER KATIE RIDDER’S COLORFUL ROOMS!

October 14, 2011
  • Share
Study with coral sofa with patterned throw, chest converted into a coffee table, dark wood walls, a patterned area rug and a red pendant light

It seems to be interior designer Katie Ridder’s week here on COCOCOZY. I started the week with a Katie Ridder home and now I’m ending the week with images from a new book due out November 1st all about Katie’s work.

After I posted on Monday about an interesting home from Katie’s online portfolio, I got an email about the book.  It is being published by Vendome Press and is called Katie Ridder Rooms written by Heather Smith McIsaac and photographs by Eric Piasecki. I have not received my advance copy yet (it is in the mail according to nice Meghan over at Vendome…wooohooo) but I have been given an exclusive first look at what is inside.

Can I say awesome? Katie is known for using texture, color and non-traditional “curious” combinations to create stunning memorable spaces.  Lot’s of interesting details in a Katie Ridder designed room.

Here’s just a little sneak peek…loads of inspiration….can’t wait to have this for my coffee table!

Bathroom with a white clawfoot tub, wood floor, an a wall of blue floor to ceiling subway tiles, windows with white blinds, and wood stool with green cushion is being used as a towel holde
A traditional clawfoot tub pops against a wall of peacock blue floor to ceiling subway tiles. (above)

Home office with a brown sofa with chartreuse piping, a white desk with a metal rolling chair with a chartreuse seat and back, white walls, chartreuse window trimmings and an orange Moroccan pouf with chartreuse stitching and a Lucite coffee table
Clever use of chartreuse throughout the room including on the sofa piping, the Moroccan pouf stitching and the trim on the windows. (above)

A white kitchen with aqua mosaic tiles from counter to ceiling backsplash, wood floors and stainless appliances

Book cover of Katie Ridder's "ROOMS"

I like these rooms.  My favorite in this batch is the home office with the green trimmed windows!  Do you like any of these rooms?  Which space might work in your home?

Thank you Meghan over at Vendome for giving me a first look at some of the images from the book just for COCOCOZY.  Readers, I have a few more of these rooms that have been shared just with me…and I’ll bring those to you too very soon!

Happy happy Friday!

    I love the tile in the bathroom. It just pops right out and grabs your attention, but because of the windows it’s not too much!

    I love Katie’s work too. Her wallpaper (crabs) at the 2011 Hamptons Designer Showhouse was absolutely charming.
    Lucky you to get a sneak peek and advance copy.
    I hope to get to a book signing!
    Happy weekend.

    Hi Coco,
    Great post as usual, but where are all the ps’s?!?
    I was wondering if I could use the bathroom photo on my bathroom blog? Pretty please. The tiles are very pretty, I also love the green trim of the office windows and the cover is fantastic. Btw, did you get your dress repaired? Ok hope you have a great weekend. Please email me at [email protected] re the photo when you have a chance. Thanks!
    🙂

    Katie’s rooms are always my favorite to look at because of the way she uses color so effectively. Typically people can’t handle the intensity of her colors and let them take over a room; she treads the line of restraint and vibrancy perfectly

Keep it simple. No need for bells and whistles an Keep it simple.  No need for bells and whistles and fancy things to make your house a home.  In this picture, a plant, two chairs I found at the flea market, a layered rug situation and some modern art...de-cluttered space can be equally as inviting as one filled with memories and treasures.  If you are stuck with how to decorate, I say keep it simple.  Purge and start with the basics.  Full disclosure, this is a shot of my living room from a few years ago when I first moved in...I didn’t even have drapes up when this was taken.  I have since added pieces and changed out furniture and added a 2nd sofa...but it started super simple and it was lovely back then.  When the world is swirling around us and making no sense, how are you keeping things simple at home?  #socococozy #bringstylehome #cococozy
Pre-pandemic throw back photo to where I was last Pre-pandemic throw back photo to where I was last year.  Clueless as to what was to come.  Was in Paris, with my mom, enjoying her summer apartment in the middle of the 6th arrondissement.  I had just left the U.K. visiting friends for a few days in London and the Cotswolds.  None of us knew that this summer 2020 would be so different.  Today, I can only hope this time of tumult and great divides leads somehow to a future of calm and harmony.  Going backwards in time is not an option.  Pushing forward is.  Happy Sunday to you.  Where were you last summer?  Where do you imagine you’ll be next? Xoxo #socococozy #bringstylehome
Incredible living room before and after as designe Incredible living room before and after as designed by my good friend Steve Jones @bettershelter!  I went on a tour today.  I also went on a tour a year ago when he first got the house.  See my stories. Swipe to see what this room looked like before.  Life lesson from a room transformation:  When faced with the daunting and not so pretty, look to do the work, and you can make changes to bring  out what is good.  Right?  This home by the way is going on the market soon and is in one of my favorite parts of town, View Park.  What changes have you made lately that have turned bad into good? #socococozy #bringstylehome #remodeling #homerenovation #californiadreaming
“Be patient with yourself it has been a funky fe “Be patient with yourself it has been a funky few months in the world.” My friend Manon texted this advice to me today.  She is right.  A little patience and a lot of kindness to yourself and to others during these unusual times will go a long way.
***
Am in my living room right now looking at these pretty flowers in that white urn I found lying around.  The urn works (see Flower Power highlights for backstory). Thinking on who I might send one of these bouquets to today as a little act of kindness.  Still working on the patience piece of her advice! 🤪 Who might you send flowers to?  How can you be more patient with yourself? Happy Saturday!

Hi! Finally something to smile about! 😂 Exciti Hi!  Finally something to smile about! 😂 Exciting flower news today as I debut the first ever COCOCOZY designed bouquet in my latest partnership! Tada.  Here is The Classic by COCOCOZY exclusively on @ftdflowers + @proflowers as part of their #herestoher initiative!  Swipe left to see it up close.  I wanted to design a super lush classically beautiful bouquet that would look good in any home during the fall/winter.  Roses, eucalyptus and so much more in soft whites and greens.  I am so happy with the final product.  What’s great is that this hand tied bouquet comes in a box straight to your door and you can put it in any vase.  If you swipe left you can see it in my breakfast room.  Perfect for sending as a birthday gift, celebration, expression of love or friendship, a business gift, a thank you to someone or I recommend ordering for yourself every couple of weeks to cheer up your space as we stay at home more!  I plan on getting them weekly!  Anyhoooo...I’m linking to the bouquet in my profile.  Have you ever ordered flowers for yourself just because?  Who might you send these to?  #socococozy #bringstylehome #cococozy
