CHEAP TO CHIC: PASTORAL MURALS!

August 30, 2012

I don’t know why I like grisaille wall murals with bucolic country scenes but I do.

I would love to have a dining room or bedroom with one of these idyllic countryside landscapes rambling across the walls. I like the idea of art covering an entire wall!

Smash cut to reality – I live in a tiny cottage in the Hollwyood Hills…so small that there is probably only enough room to squeeze 1/2 of a tree from one of these wallpaper scenes.

I can still dream. 🙂 So today I bring you pastoral wall murals in the form of wallpaper and panels … that’s today’s CHEAP TO CHIC!

dining room with black and white pastoral wallpaper, a crystal chandelier, round dark wood table with matching chairs and a dark wood floor
bedroom with pastoral wallpaper on the two visible walls, a white bed, a large wooden writing desk and red floor length curtain
Etched Arcadia Mural
Anthropologie – Etched Arcadia Mural – $298 (above)
corner of an empty room with pastoral wallpaper, white walls with gray trim and wood floor
Tara Shaw Maison Italian Grisaille
Layla Grayce – Tara Shaw Maison Italian Grisaille – $2,470 (above)
living room with colored pastoral wallpaper, dark wood floor, an area rug with a white sofa, small coffee table and two arm chairs and a fireplace

I like. What do you think? Too busy? Or are these wall murals just the right touch?

Happy Thursday!

P.S. Still without a computer…my sis DS is putting pressure on for me to return her Macbook Air. Dell people say they are coming by to fix my laptop next week. How long do you think I can keep my sis at bay?

P.P.S. Will do my market review next week when my computer is up and running. 🙂

    Swooning over these!!!!!!

    I wish I had the moolah to commission someone to to paint any of these on my wall. But hey, you know what Biggie Smalls said…..”The mo’ money, the mo’ problems”. Ha!!!!!!!!!

    Honestly, these rooms are beautiful, thanks for posting!

    Find your scene – hire an art student and have them ‘pencil it in’ on your chosen wall – taking into consideration any changes you would like to make to it in advance. Once you’ve reviewed to ensure it meets your specifications, let them complete. If you don’t like – paint over it!

    This makes the process very affordable. It will also provide that long-contemplated answer to the question ‘Where would you really like to live?’ Answer – ‘In the mural on my Dining Room wall…’

    Beautiful photos – thank you for sharing!

    I think what makes them so lovely is that they are so soft and soothing in color and therefore don’t intrude on the rest of the room and its decor. I love them.

    Hi Coco,

    I like the last room and the Italian scene paper. I really like these types of wallpapers when it is of exotic locations – if I got one it would have to have palm trees and an elephant in it somewhere!

    Hope they can fix your computer.

    🙂

    I think the murals are fabulous. They add glamour to each space. Of course, I am partial to the pricier one!

    I’m a traditional lady, so I love the murals! That dining room is absolutely stunning, and the monochromatic scene is such an updated way to do the mural.

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!
