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.

Watch to the end to weigh in. Clogs or no clogs? TWatch to the end to weigh in. Clogs or no clogs? They are on sale...not sure. Summer sale season is here, and we are not holding back. 👏 This is the time of year to finally grab those pieces you’ve been eyeing all season. The good news? Major markdowns are happening right now across some of the best brands. Our tip: Shop with intention. Know your palette, know your fit, and choose pieces that work with what you already own, not just because they’re on sale. We’ve already done the hard work and created a Summer Sale Shopping Board filled with our favorite finds. A Shopping Board is like your own storefront. It’s a curated collection of products you can shop yourself or share with others to earn when they purchase through your links. ✨ Want to make it yours? Comment SALE and we’ll send you the link. Then just tap “Add This Board” to save it to your Chirpyest account. Or grab the link here 👉 https://www.chirpyest.com/s/cocoedit/summer-sale-2026/2071?mode=share From there, you can shop the collection, share it with your audience, earn from your recommendations, and get cashback on your own purchases. 💛
This is the house that stopped us mid-scroll and k This is the house that stopped us mid-scroll and kept us there. A 90s home in Amman, Jordan, entirely remodelled by local artisans. Neo-Florentine bones, Levant-eclectic sensibility, arched passageways, and a flea-market-meets-commissioned-art collection that makes every wall feel intentional. What makes it work: restraint where you’d expect excess, and boldness where you’d expect safety. This is what happens when a home is built by people who actually know the place. 🖤 Save this, it’s a masterclass in culturally rooted design.

Your mom’s coming over and suddenly every room neeYour mom’s coming over and suddenly every room needs to be perfect. 🤣 Panic mode activated! If you only have 10 minutes, focus on these three things: 1. Make the bed. It instantly makes the whole room look cleaner. 2. Fold or straighten the throw blanket and pillows. 3. Clear visible clutter from nightstands and the floor. That’s it. Those three steps make the biggest visual impact without deep cleaning. Save this for the next time you need a fast bedroom reset. 🔖

Drop your answer 👇 A — The kitchen B — The bathroom C — The living room D — Somewhere unexpected Black is not a bold choice. It’s a neutral, and one of the most versatile ones in design. The rooms that get it right treat black the same way others treat white or greige: as a foundation that lets everything else breathe. The texture of the wall. The warmth of the wood. The drama of the marble. Black doesn’t compete, it amplifies. Save this the next time someone talks you out of going dark. 🖤 @steveandfilip 📷 @rymcdon | @seanandersondesign (2&3) | @jpzinteriors | @coletteinteriors | @ashleymartinhome
Life when I’m offline. 🎣 On this trip to Park CitLife when I’m offline. 🎣 On this trip to Park City, UT, I was way off line with a little fly fishing. No emails. No DMs. No feed. Just a rod, a beautiful river, and however long it takes to catch something. Running two brands means my brain rarely stops so when it does, it really does. No fish were harmed. All fish were returned into the river. What do you do when you log off? Comment and let's give each other some ideas!😀 #travel #flyfishing #gonefishing
