COCOCOZY AUDIO POST!

July 30, 2011
  • Share

My first audio post experiment! Oh boy. Take a listen! Nothing ground breaking here at all…but hopefully I’ll get the editing down to actually make these interesting to you.

This one is an audio post and it is just me saying hi to you for the first time. I was so clueless about editing that I just put up a bunch of pictures you have probably seen. I wanted to change them out but then I got scared that I would lose all of the audio. Oy va voy.

If you have patience with me and these audio posts…I plan to make them far more exciting and interesting (I hope). In the future I will be sharing gorgeous images and giving you my thoughts on design, style, fashion and much more (including a little more about me!). I’ll answer any questions you all email me or if you have a design dilemma send me a photo and I’ll talk about it and show it to everyone on my YouTube channel.

My voice sounds really weird and scratchy and I sound very serious in this one. Trust me I am not a serious weird voice girl…I just play one on my YouTube channel…LOL! I will admit though to the scratchy voice part…people have said I have a “raspy” voice (a guy I used to work with called me “Raspy” for an entire year).

You might ask (wisely) “Coco, why would you put up an audio post with old pictures and you sounding serious, weird and raspy”? My response would be, “It took me almost 2 hours to figure out how to even record a 2 minute interlude and then add in some basic photos…truthfully, I didn’t have the energy to do it all again” (= lazy). So much for the motto of “putting your best foot forward”…I just put my best weird raspy serious voice and old photos foot forward! Yoohoo! That’s the way I roll.

Happy Saturday!

P.S. Look forward to hearing from you!

    Awww I love it! It’s so great to put a voice to this website and oh please – you do not sound “raspy” as you put it! It’s an excellent idea! Good for you! Look forward to hearing more. 🙂
    P.s. I love the colour blocks in the pictures..makes me want to forget working today and lounge outside! 🙂

    What fun to hear your voice (not raspy at all). Oddly, you sound exactly as I imagined.
    Happy weekend, dahhhling!

    I have been working on video and I was terrified to try something new. I am so glad to see you are embarking on this adventure. I loved meeting you in Atlanta and it feels like you are standing next to me talking…I love that! Keep going and congrats on this next step in the Cococozy empire.

    Hi Coco ~ You sound great! My friends actually love my voice when I’m a little ‘scratchy’ and I’ve even heard some 1-900 comments from guy friends, so lets just say your normal weird scratchy raspy voice is a nice break from all the phony, perky, squeeky, fake, up-speak voices that are normally spread around….as for content, all good, even if we’ve seen it before but we would all love to see your FACE girl!!!! Great Idea for the audio…keep them both coming!

    I’m sure blogging will be heading more and more in this direction. Great photos. I just don’t understand why you’re being so mysterious about your identity!?

    I think it’s great that you are venturing out to audio. It seems most of us aren’t use to the way our voices sound when recorded, so I say good for you for stepping out! I so enjoyed meeting you when you were in Atlanta. You are just as delightful in person as you are on your blog post. Thank you for sharing yourself with all of us!

    HI Coco!

    I love your blog, your posts, your tastes, and the audio thingy was really cool! Plus, I love LA!!!!! I live in New Mexico and have a little 1/2 acre ranch house complete with barn and horses that I’m trying to fix up to be my girl pad. I am also a suit, so you are close to my heart with your executive job and your love of design. I have to throw in my love of animals since I have 2 horses, 1 pot belly pig, 4 bunnies, 2 guinea pigs and 4 lovebirds and a cat…. I hope I’m not leaving anyone out…. Plus, I want a totally groovy home. Thanks for the inspiration. It’s hard to remodel an old house on limited funds, but it CAN be done. Time and patience is key. I love your vision. Thanks for your blog! Sincerely, Veronika

This Haussmannian apartment sits directly facing N This Haussmannian apartment sits directly facing Notre-Dame on the Left Bank, and @double_g_interior_design designed the interior to match that setting without competing with it. ✨
The approach was deliberate restraint: restored cornices kept intact, stained oak floors, limestone tones, a mix of vintage furniture and contemporary silhouettes. Every choice earning its place. The light does the rest. Bouncing off mirrors, moving through the neutral walls across the day. 🔅
→ Save this if you’re working with a Haussmannian space and want to let the architecture lead.

This six-floor Paris mansion sat untouched for ove This six-floor Paris mansion sat untouched for over 15 years. @hugotoro_ took it on and designed every single thing inside it himself, from the custom furniture down to the napkin rings and staff uniforms.
That level of control is what makes the result so specific. Rich materials, sculptural forms, cinematic lighting but nothing feels decorative for its own sake. Every detail was considered as part of one complete vision, and you feel it in every room. ✨
→ Save this for your next deep dive into total-design interiors.

Natural light is the one thing every room has in c Natural light is the one thing every room has in common here, but the window shape, wall material, and time of day make each one feel like an entirely different experience. ☀️
It’s a reminder that light isn’t just a condition in a room. It’s a design decision.
→ Save this if you’re thinking about how light works in your own space.

I visited a new friend Amy, founder of Keur-Amy LaI visited a new friend Amy, founder of Keur-Amy Langseth @keuramylangseth at her chic Paris studio in the Marais and left completely obsessed! Every bag she makes is intentional, considered, and honestly unliIke anything I’ve seen. The kind of craftsmanship you don’t stumble upon easily.
She’s still under the radar. For now. 😌

This 300-year-old Belgian château redesigned by a This 300-year-old Belgian château redesigned by a French interior designer and architect, Nathan Litera @nathanlitera is a beautiful reminder that good design isn’t about replacing the past, but learning how to live with it. You see it in the preserved millwork, the original fireplaces, the parquet floors, and then in the quiet contrast of contemporary lighting, cleaner silhouettes, and restrained color.
The magic is in the balance. The newer pieces don’t compete with the architecture. They feel intentional, calm, and completely at ease. Nothing is overly styled. Nothing distracts. History stays front and center while the space still feels entirely livable today.
Here’s how to bring that same feeling into your own home:
* Keep your base timeless — neutral walls, classic materials, architectural details if you have them
* Let contrast do the work — modern lighting or furniture against traditional bones instantly updates a space
* Edit your palette — keep colors within a tight range and let texture and form do the talking
* Invest in materials — marble, wood, plaster. They age beautifully and never feel out of place
It’s not about recreating a château. It’s about understanding the feeling that quiet kind of luxury that doesn’t need to announce itself.
Save this for when you want your space to feel layered, timeless, and truly considered. ✨
