COLOR WATCH: SUN KISSED – JUST A TOUCH OF YELLOW!

Love just a little yellow here and there. Not too much…not too little…just a touch of yellow can add just the right amount of cheer to a room or to a look.

My grandmother’s favorite color was yellow. Her kitchen was yellow. My grandmother was always cheerful and happy and positive. It was definitely in her nature to be that way…and naturally a cheerful person would pick a sunny yellow as their favorite color!

I don’t currently have ANY yellow in my tiny little cottage in the Hollywood Hills. Need to add some yellow…even if it is just a beautiful yellow bloom. Hmmm…considering just a touch!

What do you think about adding a touch of yellow to your space? Do you like yellow or do you hate? Would love to know!

Happy Thursday!

    Hi, Like you I don’t have any permanent yellow items in my house, but comes summer…and I find myself bringing yellow flowers into the house, buying yellow mugs for morning coffee and adding bright yellow cushions on the white sofas for an added touch of brightness! I suppose it’s also a way of making a seasonal change in my decor…it’s good for the soul! Enjoy your yellow!

    I’ve got yellow accents too, especially in the kitchen… a favorite antique tray with lemons hand-painted on it. Yellow makes me happy 🙂

    I don’t have any permanent yellow accessories. But when I need a “yellow” fix, I just buy some tulips or roses. Perfect accessory.

    This is right up my alley! I’m such a big fan of a touch of yellow. I decided to incorporate it into our new house we are building and just had some wishbone chairs refinished in yellow!

    Yellow is one of my favorite colors! It took me a while to appreciate yellow, not sure why. But now it is a color that cheers me up, and I would love to add a touch of yellow here and there in my home. In fact, thanks for the reminder! Maybe a yellow cushion for the sofa should be next on my list.

    A giant glass bowl full of lemons is the simplest way to add that touch! Then if you get bored or use them all,
    you can change it for limes or oranges. Voila!

    I agree! Yellow is such a lovely color in splashes. One of the other things I love most about yellow is that it actually blends remarkably well with so many other colors!

    Yellow has never been my favorite color as a designer but splashes of it as seen here are absolute perfection. Add a painting or accessory, etc…to add that special punch. Thanks for the great article…Sorelle Design

    Because I live in the middle of the woods, yellow helps to off-set so much of the green trees and green grass, etc. It softens with the glow of candle light and torches, etc. I love to soften it even further with beige hints, soft cream roses, etc. Debi

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!
