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.

The best parts of Paris might not be on your itineThe best parts of Paris might not be on your itinerary. 🇫🇷
Some of my favorite travel moments are the ones you don’t plan: the pretty street you turn onto, the café you notice while walking by, the building you stop to look at for no particular reason.
So if you’re planning a Paris trip, don’t fill every hour. Leave room to wander.

Sometimes the problem isn’t the work. It’s where ySometimes the problem isn’t the work. It’s where you’re doing it.
So today, I took my work somewhere else. ☕️💻
A little change of scenery, a different view, a few hours away from my usual desk and somehow the workday felt a little lighter.
I’ve found that working somewhere else can be a nice reset when I’m feeling stuck, uninspired, or just too used to the same routine. It’s not necessarily about being more productive; sometimes it’s just about making the day feel different.
A little workday change of scenery with me. 🤍
Would you take your work somewhere else for the day?

A great parquet floor doesn’t just ground a room. A great parquet floor doesn’t just ground a room. It tells you everything about the history of the space. The patina, the pattern, the way light moves across it. These are the rooms that prove good bones never go out of style.
What’s your favorite parquet pattern?

Designer Emma Donnersberg took her own Paris apartment in the 7th arrondissement and used it to rewrite the rules — classical bones, contemporary everything else. Her Wave Sofa and U&Me Table anchor the living room in organic curves. In the kitchen, a green ceramic-wrapped island does the heavy lifting for color against all that neutral stone. And the dining room? A Carrara travertine fireplace that turns stone into the whole point of the room.
Curved, curated, and completely hers. 🤍
Save this for your next renovation moodboard.
