Spring days call for Spring Gray!

I keep spotting rooms, architecture, and home accessories with gray accents — and I just love how the typically-drab color is being used to make other colors (including white!) pop.

Incorporating gray can keep your space sleek, neutral, and of course, oh-so cozy!

Slowly but surely my room is coming together!

As you probably have experienced, picking out a rug is truly a process! For my bright master bedroom, I went back and forth between having a rug… having a colorful rug… or having no rug at all! Ultimately I decided on this muted grey COCOCOZY ring rug — and I couldn’t be happier!

I know, I know — straying away from a Moroccan or vintage worn Persian style rug is a design risk, but I’m choosing to step outside the box! This is me in 2018!

Happy March!

Wow, I cannot believe I just said that! The beginning of this year is just flying by. I hope you all are having a wonderful start to 2018!

To start off the spring, I’ve been thinking about how to incorporate metal bed frames in various ways — so I’ve collected some of my favorites for inspiration!

Welcome to my guest bedroom!

I absolutely love having a special place for my visitors to stay — and I want to make sure they feel right at home while in town!

My intention was to create a warm and inviting room by having attention to detail but ultimately keeping things simple. So far I’ve gotten the stamp of approval from my mother and best friend — so that’s how I know the transformation was a success!

I have been off the blogging grid for weeks!  Now I am back.  Basically, I have been running around getting settled in my house and having lots and lots of guests.  It has been so much fun.  After months and months of not having a place, it is so nice to settle in my lovely Spanish style home here in Beverly Hills (during my house hunt, a very stylish friend of mine at work said he imagined me living in Beverly Hills…he dreamed it and I made it happen!!).

Thanks to my sweet friend Hilde Leiaghat, owner of chic bedding line Pom Pom at Home, my master bedroom is becoming a serene dream. Overall, the decor for the room is still a work in progress. The bed, however, is fully and beautifully decked out with stunning linen bedding. Here’s how I got the bed of my dreams…

There is something so charming about an attic bedroom.  A room nestled into the top floor of a home under a pitched ceiling and the beams and rafters of the roof can be perfection. I found these first few pictures on the blog Adventures in Cooking. Blogger Eva Kosmas chronicled the before and after makeover of her master bedroom in her Pacific Northwest home.  The result is a fresh bright room that marries good modern style with fresh rustic charm.  Love this room and 7 other cozy bedroom attic lofts in this post!

Happy Monday!  I am back from my week long stay in the Dominican Republic with my good friends from New York and SFJ came out from L.A..  It was such a lovely dreamy spring break. If you have been following along in instagram (@cococozy) or Snapchat (cococozyblog), you have seen the play by play of my travels and stay at the Playa Grande Beach Club, a boutique hotel in the Dominican Republic. At this resort, there homes that are privately owned and there are also beautiful rentable bungalows.  My best of friend AM and her hubby JE happen to own one of the homes there so I am a very lucky recipient of their hospitality!

Anyhooo, one day while everyone was out at the pool (all kids and adults), I snuck inside AM’s island house and had a field day taking photos.  One of the delightful rooms is upstairs…it is a fanciful bohemian bedroom – a twin room with an island style twist.
