COCOCOZY DESIGN HOUSE

COCOCOZY Design House: Totally TOTO Bathroom Planning

June 24, 2018
  • Share

The planning and renovation phase of the COCOCOZY Design House is in full swing!

As you know, I’m currently in the midst of transforming a beautiful 1860-square-foot Spanish style home in View Park LA (my first ever design house!) — and we’ve meticulously selected a few partners to work with us by providing product.

I was so thrilled when TOTO came on board to supply all bath and plumbing fixtures for the 4 new bathrooms we are creating in the Design House. You heard me… EVERYTHING! That means sinks, faucets, shower heads, toilets, gorgeous tubs, accessories, and all of the fittings and valves. WOW!!

The TOTO product has arrived!

Slowly but surely all of the TOTO product is getting unpacked and installed!

TOTO has been committed to providing comfortable living spaces, while always protecting the planet and its water, for over a hundred years — so I’d definitely say they’re experts! I love how Japan’s rich artistic heritage in pottery and porcelain is present in every product!

I went to the TOTO showroom in West Hollywood to check out some of my options and I’ve decided to go with chrome TOTO fixtures, faucets, and accessories for the bathrooms.

I know the planning/pre-installation phase isn’t the most glamorous — but that’s life, isn’t it?! These photos might not be the most exciting, but this is my reality right now! Boxes on boxes on boxes.

Here are the highlights of what I have spec’d out (below)!

The Aimes Handshower Set is sleek and designed for cleanliness.

I am particularly excited about TOTO’s latest design — the Aimes Widespread Lavatory Faucet & Accessories collection. We are using the faucet in the powder room and a mix and match of all of the bath accessories in the master bath. I’m a huge fan of the slender silhouette of these faucets that puts a modern twist on a classic design.

Something about these accessories reminds me of elegant equestrian tack and gear… timeless!

The Aimes Towel Ring and Towel Bar are a match made in heaven! Seen here at the WeHo showroom.

Years ago, TOTO reached out to me about doing a story about their high tech, beautifully designed Neorest toilet. At that time, I was not in need of a new toilet so I declined. This time around, I thought, why not put the best of the best modern toilets in my first COCOCOZY Design House!

Neorest 500H Dual Flush Toilet, 1.0 GPF & 0.8 GPF, seen here in the West Hollywood showroom. This toilet truly does it all!

The toilet is sleek and compact which will be perfect for our master bath that is a little tight on space. The toilet does everything — bidet like function, seat warms, air freshens, and even cleanses in a way that minimizes need for chemical cleaners. And yes, it flushes, ha! Best of all, it meets CalGreen and EPA water efficiency requirements!

As you can see, we’re literally starting from scratch!

This is what plotting and planning looks like!

I am simply obsessed with the Enameled Cast Iron Bathtub — still packaged, but working on it!

When this massive and beautiful drop-in cast iron tub arrived on site, I was so in awe. On the website all you see is the inside of the tub but as it turns out, the profile of the tub is just gorgeous. It is beautiful. The tub is meant to be boxed in and surrounded by tile…but it has feet…so I got thinking and decided it is too beautiful to be boxed in (just like you!). Now, the idea is that I am going to treat it like a classic standalone tub. We are going to paint the bottom white and place it in the master bath against a (I think) marble tile wall and lovely white floors and tahdah…a new use for a TOTO classic!

This is a behind-the-scenes photo of the basement bathroom. I’m happy to report we discovered a window behind the wall and so this basement bath will now have lovely light!

I have all of my TOTO fixtures in house and they are getting installed slowly but surely.  We are trying to complete this project by the end of July!!! Would love to share the big reveal with you soon!

Sending thanks again to my fabulous bathroom plumbing fixtures and accessories partner, TOTO USA! So excited to be working with such a venerable brand!

Stay tuned for the next update!

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!
