Bedroom

BRIGHT & LIGHT BEDROOM!

September 15, 2011
  • Share
Bright bedroom with an iron canopy bed with white bedding and a bright green blanket draped across the foot of the bed, blue Holly Hunt armchair with a Leontine Linens boudoir pillow, painted reclaimed wood floors and breezy white floor length curtains

I love a beautiful bedroom. Reminds me of all of the sleep I am not getting these days! 🙂

This bedroom is wonderfully light and airy.  Blissfully peaceful, perfectly pleasant and nicely appointed.  I like the painted reclaimed wood floors – a little design on the floor in lieu of a rug.  A great shade for the blue upholstered Holly Hunt chair that coordinates well with the Leontine Linens boudoir pillow.

Some people like to have their bedrooms dark and mysterious with no light allowed in…I prefer to wake up to sunlight for some reason.  Morning natural light keeps me cheerful throughout the day. The pitched ceiling makes plenty of room for the iron canopy bed.  1, 2, 3 just like that (or I’m sure with some great thought)…this room is quite cute…good designed!

What do you think of this bedroom?  What might you add or subtract?  Is it too light and bright for you or is it just right?

Happy Thursday!

P.S. Sorry I didn’t blog yesterday…was running around in the morning before work doing COCOCOZY textiles collection work – work before work and work after work…that’s been my schedule these days.  We have lots and lots of orders to fill from the New York International Gift Fair and the Atlanta gift show…so I was up to my ears in sorting out fabric, orders and the like early yesterday morning instead of working on a blog post.  So much to do.  I’m enjoying it though.  Really loving the challenge of starting a textiles business from the ground up.  All is good.  Well, to be honest, have been fretting way too much as of late because my web guy has gone MIA and I can’t get many of the new pillows on the shop site for you to see and there are a million glitches on the shop site.  Oy.  Any suggestions?  On my web dilemma that is?  Anyone want to give me a crash course in website building (or at least know someone who could help)? Au secours!

P.P.S.  Picking up my #2 dress for the Emmys today.  I have two dress options for the awards show on Sunday when I walk the red carpet and when no one really cares what I wear or look like because there are so many Hollywood stars around.  So while no one will care what I’m wearing, I’ve still spent every day going back and forth over what to wear.  1st option is an old black Badgley Mischka gown that I bought several years ago…very simple and elegant and has a bit of train.  The second is a new Carlos Miele long gown I bought in Paris last month…it is one shoulder (oy…I’ve always questioned one shoulder dresses…yet went right out and bought one) and it is navy with sparkles on the one shoulder (oy again…this dress makes me a bit nervous).  What to do?  Will try to get a good shot of the two dresses and tweet them or something on COCOCOZY Twitter.  Will keep you posted!  xo

P.P.P.S.  You might wonder why I have two long dresses for the Emmys…well to make a long story short or in this case a short story long…I own several long gowns actually, and long white kid leather gloves and I even have a long wonderful hunter green opera coat (I don’t really know what an opera coat is but it is big enough to wear over a ball gown I was told and is quite lovely…bought it for no reason years ago at Barneys).  My sister thinks I’m totally wacky because I have so many long dresses (at least I don’t own a tiara…hmmm…not a bad idea…oh I forgot, I must have at least 5 very sparkling headbands…went through a sparkling headband phase last year…that phase has passed…I mentioned them almost every day on the blog…so I’m sure you are glad that phase passed too…).  Well you never know when prince charming may swing by in tuxedo and ask you to a wonderful black tie event…right?  Better to be prepared.  Forget earthquake preparedness, I am black tie event prepared…horrifying, I know…but it’s true.   The good news is the gowns are not going to waste; this year, I’ve offered several of my gowns out to some of the other girls at work who don’t have anything to wear to the Emmys…so far, someone has taken me up on a blue Vivienne Tam chiffon dress…am bringing in a Monique L’Huillier today for someone else to try.  Need prince charming in the tux to appear soon before I lend out all of my dresses and don’t have a thing to wear. Oh my!

P.P.P.P.S.  Was spell checking this post and saw that I said the word “oy” three times.  Ooops now that is four.  Oy. Five.  I like the word oy (six)…it encompasses so many things…it is a combo between yikes, uh oh, and oh no all together but with a hint more of clever sarcasm to it.  I like.  Have been overusing it though lately. Oy.  Seven.   Note to self, expand vocabulary.  Hee hee.  xo

P.P.P.P.P.S. I recognize this P.S. section is a bit out of control…but who says the P.S. can’t be longer than the “S”? Maybe I’m a writing and grammar trailblazer with this? Maybe I’ve invented something? Hmmm…. Oy. Eight.

    haha I enjoyed your “kind of PS longer than the post” I vote for the one shoulder dress, If you are not so sure about it I think its the perfect time to rock it! it’s an event where you could wear anything you want so go for it! have to say i still love sparkling headbands though I rarely wear them.. I love going out of town and wear everything I don’t dare to wear around.. and regarding the original post I like the light as well… ever since I saw the lauren gold yellow headboard in her room I changed from mysterious to energetic!

    Go with the navy and sparkle, one-shoulder dress, Coco. Too many wear basic black. I went to the Emmies in 1975. A gal had on the exact same gown as myself. I was mortified. Stick with the one from Paris. Besides, you’ve never worn it!
    Oh, and I love the bedroom but love your p.s.’s even more. You are too cute!

    One caveat with a one shoulder dress- make sure you get a FABULOUS push up bra. Get a little padding even unless you totally don’t need it. Because one shoulders tend to make you look droopy otherwise-and just on one side!
    Have fun.

    Coco how exciting and I cannot wait to see you in your dress (the one shoulder navy)!

    I am more into the fashion at the moment than the bedroom although it is very nice!

    I think this bedroom is so pretty. It’s light and airy and cheerful! But I am one of those people who likes my bedroom to be dark and cocoon like with no light seeping in. I like that room, but I couldn’t sleep in it!

Behind-the-scenes: Fun work trip to visit the COCOBehind-the-scenes: Fun work trip to visit the COCOCOZY bedding collection at the Welspun showroom in New York. 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!
