Still loving grey. It has become a staple neutral in home decor and always a go to in fashion and on the runway – on walls or cabinets, upholstery and fabric, in the bedroom, kitchen, living room, dining room or den, for jackets, skirts, pants, tops and dresses…grey goes all the way in making a room or a look feel elegant and modern at the same time.

In honor of fall and the winter months to come, styling with grey today…in home and in fashion!

I like grey.

Love the Cynthia Steffe jumpers and the casual tweed urban chic of the Rag & Bone collection. Style at its best.

As far as rooms go…I like the dark charcoal grey room with the purple sofas…moody, modern and chic!

Which is your favorite?

Happy Tuesday to you. I have a busy day ahead!

P.S. I think I’m getting a cold. Not feeling well. Yikes. All of this hot Southern California weather mixed with freezing air conditioned temperatures in doors. Oh no…

    When I was a little girl, I would tell people my favorite color was grey. It is still true. I was ahead of my time! 😉

    We are remodeling our kitchen and just painted a dark charcoal grey accent wall. I love it. It looks so good with the white cabinets. Great post! Thanks!

    I love the third photo by Jeff McNamara with the blue and black abstract painting behind the bed. Gorgeous color combination. I especially like how they used the 2 corner mirrors to keep light reflecting and visually enlarge the room. Gorgeous collection of pictures. Thanks!

    I’m loving the one with the bright pink coffee table I think gray does a good job of allowing colors to show themselves while being neutral but not bland like white or depressing the space like black.

    Hard to pick a fave, but definitely love the Parisian salon with the purples couches and dark walls…c’est si bon.

    Oh goodness I nearly fell out of my seat at those purple sofas. I then went on to stalk the photographer and absolutely died at some of his stuff. Thanks!

    I’ve had gray on the walls for about 5 years. I’m going for that first photo look. I’m a little tired of orange and yellow with it. Thanks for your GREAT and inspiring posts. I just love this blog.

    Grey is probably my favorite neutral. Wonderfully calming and not harsh. Especially a good medium tone, not too dark, not too light.

    I like all of them except the kitchen, too industrial.

    This post rocked my world, by the way. As different as some of the rooms were, I loved them ALL! (some of those runway dresses were cute, too!!) j’adore.

    Gorgeous!

    We’re painting our dining and living room in complementing greys. They are an open L-shaped set up. I did a dark moodier grey (like the Thom Filicia room) in the dining room with white and gold accents. The living room is a more casual grey with lavendar undertones and an accent wall of black-white-grey aspen tree wallpaper.

    Next step: redoing the dining room chairs. Goodbye stained dark wood and beat up red/gold satin. Hello cream paint and faux ostrich leather.

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!
