DESIGNING THE PERFECT CITY COURTYARD!

guest courtyard at the The Greenwich Hotel with stone floors, visible brick walls with arched entryways, potted plants and wooden and wicker arm chairs, tables and benches

So this past Sunday was a busy day for me…after going to a garden party and then attending the Teen Choice Awards (don’t ask me why I as an adult was at the Teen Choice Awards), I hopped on a plane on a red eye for a quick trip to NYC.

I am leaving NYC right now but the trip has been fantastic!

I have been staying at The Greenwich Hotel…my favorite hotel in NYC. I love it here.

This is a view of the enchanting guest courtyard at the hotel. A secret courtyard garden of sorts…a place for a wonderful light breakfast or late night drink (had drinks with A.Ro. there last night).

There is something very relaxed about this outdoor living space yet very elegant. Lots of plants…just the right teak furniture…paired with woven French bistro chairs…nothing overly done…but something so right….hmmm…love this…

A lovely refuge in the middle of the city!

I am headed down to the courtyard right now to have a little breakfast with some people before I hop on the plane…I can’t wait.

My room wasn’t ready when I arrived, so I set up camp in a corner of the hotel’s courtyard. (above)

What do you think of this hotel courtyard?  What is your ideal outdoor living space?

Happy Wednesday!

P.S.  So much to share that has gone on here in NYC.  I’ve had a great time.  Also, will be coming out with some exciting news very soon about a new partnership for COCOCOZY!   I can’t wait to share the news.  Soon.

P.P.S.  Was able to see best of friend AM and her hubby JE and their kids while here in the city.  What a wonderful wonderful time.

P.P.P.S.  If you check out COCOCOZY Twitter or COCOCOZY Instagram…you can see some photos of some of the cool places I’ve been while here!  Will share more tomorrow!

P.P.P.P.S.  Remember to follow me on COCOCOZY Pinterest too…check out my latest pins!

    Ooooo the courtyard is very pretty. I bet they serve a yummy breakfast at this hotel. I will keep it in mind for the next time I`m in NYC.

    When put together correctly even the smallest spaces can feel inviting. Love this.

    What a charming hotel. Have to remember it for our next trip to the big apple. Beautiful courtyard that I would never guess is in NYC.

Everyday luxury isn’t saved for special occasions. Everyday luxury isn’t saved for special occasions. It’s a porch swing at golden hour, sunlight across a marble floor, a dining room you’d actually want to linger in.
A look inside a home that’s elevated without ever feeling off-limits: brass-detailed kitchen, a glass-walled lounge, and a lacquered dining room with a wine wall.

Drapes or no drapes? 👀 One room, two very differe Drapes or no drapes? 👀
One room, two very different feelings.
Without the drapes, the space feels bright, open, and minimal. Add the drapes, and suddenly there’s more softness, warmth, and texture.
This was one of the details we loved playing with in the COCOCOZY Design House. Sometimes a simple window treatment can completely change the feeling of a room.
Which would you choose for this space: WITH DRAPES or WITHOUT? Tell us below. 🤍
Paint gets all the credit. Wallpaper does the actu Paint gets all the credit. Wallpaper does the actual work.
Delicate florals in a powder room, a full-envelope ikat entry, a moody botanical pantry, a pattern bold enough to wear the whole room — six spaces, zero fear of commitment.
Which one would you live with every day? Drop your answer 👇
