EXPOSING THE DETAILS IN A LONDON APARTMENT

So the long holiday weekend is about to begin!  Happy Memorial Day weekend! I am so excited for a little time off. Best of friend AM and her hubby JE are going to be in Los Angeles for a week staying with me…they are bringing their adorable kiddies.  A family in my little tiny cottage in the Hollywood Hills.  We’ll all be very very cozy! It should be a fun long weekend and a great week too. I have been sprucing up things around the house and on the outdoor living spaces in anticipation of their arrival. Major construction things that only I will notice have changed…but the house looks tidier with a new fence, new gates, new paved side walkway, new side deck, newly painted main deck, a dry walled sky light in the bedroom and a reupholstered den sofa! Phew. Still a lot more to do but am on my way with making the house perfect for summer parties.

Anyhooo…enough about me…and onto this very cute London loft apartment. I like it because of the white washed exposed brick throughout. The brick wall adds so much character, texture and visual interest to the space. I like.

Take a look!

Do you like this apartment? If so what stands out to you? If someone said you could put brick walls in your house or apartment and it would somehow work…would you want an exposed brick interior wall? I would and I would paint it white or white wash it! Please do tell.

Also, I definitely want to know what you are doing this Memorial Day weekend. Any fun plans?

P.S. Got an email this morning that made my day. It came from Jillian Fraker. Jillian is the daughter of Debbie Fraker who owns and runs a chic home furnishings shop in Nantucket named The Lions Paw. Debbie and Jillian were some of the first customers to buy a lot of COCOCOZY textiles to feature in their store last year. Well they sold out in the summer of 2011 and made a very nice order in 2012. We sent their huge shipment off a week or two ago and they just received the shipment (takes a bit for things to get to the tiny island of Nantucket). Jillian sent me an email they liked all of their new COCOCOZY pillows! The email was titled “Crazy for Coco at The Lions Paw – Nantucket” and there were several photos attached of their beautiful store. Here’s a look at COCOCOZY in Nantucket.

P.P.S.  Thank you Jillian for sending in those photos.  They made my day!  Glad we made it to you in time for the long weekend.

P.P.P.S.  Readers, I want to hear what you have planned for the long weekend…are you traveling or staying home?  Are you relaxing or getting projects done?  Do share!

    I really like the old brick walls. Those old bricks just look really good in pretty much any house.

    I just have to say that those images of the Lions Paw shop (how cute is that name?) has me in pillow lust! Lots of prettiness there, especially the pillos!
