Before & After

Bright California Home Remodel – Before & After

September 26, 2016
  • Share

I found this great California home remodel from Veneer Designs and had to share it…look at how impactful the transformation was from dark and outdated to bright, inviting and chic! Really brilliant…once I saw the beautiful white walls and open kitchen design I was sold (you know how much I love those bright white kitchens.) This home has so many great pieces it’s hard to pick my favorite but overall I love the neutral color palette that Veneer designs created and then the pops of color incorporated throughout. It’s a smart design that will age well…for example in this new living room, you can switch out a pillow or two and the rugs and transform the entire space…do you think I should mention to them that COCOCOZY has pillows and rugs and throw blankets that would be a great addition to the space…too forward??

Hope you find this California remodel as inspiring as I did…back to the house hunting extravaganza…a.k.a…looking at hundreds of homes and trying to find the needle in a haystack that’s going to be mine 😉 Follow along on snapchat @cococozyblog for all my thoughts on the move!

There wasn’t a ‘before’ of the Library but I loved the end result…very moody.

    I absolutely love how that kitchen came out! All that white makes it so much brighter and more inviting.

    I love the light fixtures, particularly the kitchen pendants. Where are they from?

    Great re-model. What color is the paint and who makes it?

Want a bedroom that feels cozy, warm, and invitingWant a bedroom that feels cozy, warm, and inviting? Start with these simple changes:
1. Layer your bedding. Mix sheets, a duvet, quilts, and throw blankets to create that plush, lived-in look.
2. Add warm lighting. Swap harsh overhead lighting for bedside lamps, sconces, or a statement light with a warm glow.
3. Bring in plenty of texture. Think linen, velvet, boucle, chunky knits, and soft rugs.
4. Keep the palette warm and calming. Soft neutrals, earthy tones, and muted colors instantly make a room feel more restful.
5. Mix in natural materials. Wood, rattan, woven accents, and stone add warmth and character.
6. Make the walls feel personal. Art, photographs, or even a statement headboard can make the room feel more finished.
7. Add something organic. A vase of branches, fresh flowers, or a little greenery can bring the room to life.
The goal isn’t to make your bedroom perfect. It’s to make it feel like a place you actually want to retreat to at the end of the day.
Save this for your next bedroom refresh. 🤎

The right chandelier doesn’t just light a room, it becomes the room. Scale, material, placement. When it’s done right, everything else arranges itself around it.

Summer is when this courtyard really comes alive.Summer is when this courtyard really comes alive. 🌸
One thing I’ve learned is that every outdoor space needs a focal point. It gives your eye a place to land and makes the whole space feel more intentional.
In this courtyard, the bougainvillea naturally becomes that focal point, adding color, height, and movement without overwhelming the space.
If you’re designing your own patio or garden, start with one standout feature, then let everything else support it.
Save this tip for your next outdoor project. ✨

It’s easy to believe you’re falling behind when liIt’s easy to believe you’re falling behind when life looks different than you imagined.
But not every season is meant to be productive. Some are meant to restore you. Some are meant to reshape you. And some are quietly preparing you for what’s next.
Trust the timing of your own journey.
One day, you’ll look back and realize that even the slowest seasons were moving you forward. 🤍
