DESIGN IDEA: DIVIDE AND CONQUER!

March 22, 2012

Floor to ceiling bookshelf stuffed with books dividing a small, white room with purple pillows in two

Have a room and need to create multiple spaces?  Here is an idea…a floor to ceiling bookshelf dividing a small space.

I like!  What do you think?  Would a room dividing screen work better for you…or how about a plain old fashioned wall?  Please let me know!

Happy Thursday!

P.S.  Have been running around like a chicken with no head this week.  Went to a fab event on Tuesday at designer Michael Smith’s gorgeous showroom called Jasper.  Oooh la la la la la la.  Lovely things throught the showroom including antique dealer Liz O’Brien’s new furniture line.  Saw and talked to lots of L.A. and NY design community including the ever so chic Margaret Russell who is the editor-in-chief of Architectural Digest.

P.P.S.  Tonight going to a celebrity studded event at the Restoration Hardware showroom.  I RSVP’d for me +4!  The p.r. people were very nice and said that my guests are welcome!  FANTASTICO!!!!!

P.P.P.S.  Regular work couldn’t be busier!  Oy.

P.P.P.P.S.  Best of friend FF invited me to Vail this weekend to her 9,000 square foot ski chalet.  Oh dear…don’t think I can make it.  Darn.

P.P.P.P.P.S.  Just closed a very exciting business deal for COCOCOZY!  Will announce it soon.  Thanks to agent SM for getting it closed.  And can’t wait to get started working with TW, JM, CC and team!  Woot woot woot!

P.P.P.P.P.S.  Late to work.

P.P.P.P.P.P.S.  My sis DS looked stunning last night as she was honored and won an award.  She was wearing a GORGEOUS Prada dress…she looked so elegant.  I am so proud of her.

P.P.P.P.P.P.P.S  Oy…gotta run.  Hope you all have a terrific day!

    The bookshelf, instead of a solid wall, is a great choice. It is functional and also adds a nice piece of color to the space. Nice work.

    What a lovely idea! The bookshelf gives the bedroom a little privacy. Enjoy the gorgeous weekend, Kellie xx

Starting the week with good energy, a little confiStarting the week with good energy, a little confidence, and absolutely no reason to wait for Friday to feel fabulous. 😉
Try these little things to lift your mood today:
✨ Put on the playlist that makes you happy
☕ Grab your favorite coffee
👗 Wear the outfit that makes you feel confident
☀️ Step outside and soak up some sunshine
🤍 Or simply give yourself a few minutes to reset
Good energy doesn’t always have to come from something big. Sometimes, you can create it yourself.
Here’s to a feel-good Monday! 🖤

Heidi Caillier Design took this historic San Francisco home and layered floral wallpaper, striped drapery, checked linens, and antique textiles room after room without a single one feeling overdone. Marble mantels, gilt mirrors, brass fixtures, and warm wood floors do the quiet work of holding it all together.
This is what happens when “more” is chosen on purpose.
Save this for the masterclass in mixing prints. 🔖

Which bathroom would you want to disappear into? _ Which bathroom would you want to disappear into?

A great bathroom isn’t just functional, it’s the one room in the house that’s entirely yours. The stone you choose, the way light hits the fixtures, the tub you actually want to sit in. These are the ones that get it exactly right.
Save this for your next bathroom renovation inspo and follow for more. 🖤

Happy Labor Day! 🇺🇸 Here’s a little throwback toHappy Labor Day! 🇺🇸
Here’s a little throwback to a Labor Day dinner party I hosted a few years ago, and honestly, we’d still do it this way. 🥂✨
Hosting this Labor Day? Keep it simple:
• Set the table with one statement detail + neutral basics
• Choose a menu you can prep ahead so you’re not cooking all night
• Add candles or flowers to make the table feel special
• Serve everything family-style for a more relaxed feel
• Don’t overthink it. The best dinners are the ones where everyone lingers a little longer 🤍
Save this for your next dinner party and send it to someone who’s hosting! 🍽️

The bouclé sofa isn’t a trend, it’s a commitment. The bouclé sofa isn’t a trend, it’s a commitment. Soft, sculptural, and impossible to walk past without wanting to sit down. The rooms that get it right pair it with something unexpected: a dramatic mural, an antique screen, a city skyline, a hand-laid mosaic floor.
