Off to finish cooking Christmas dinner for my family! Having family members over at Christmas time for the second year in a row (I feel so adult hosting Christmas dinner). In the middle of prepping the meal, I ran out of salt and pepper of all things so I have to run to the grocery store!

Have a great day! Happy Saturday! Happy Christmas! Happy Holidays!

    I love your white couches. I would love to own a white couch but with 2 young children, I don’t think it is practical. What do you think? Any tips because I’m still holding out hope for one.

    Coco,

    All my warmest wishes for the New Year. I wish you (selfishly) to never stop your blog! It is so fresh, inspiring and you’re SO funny!!

    To Anonymous – A tip to have white couches with young children? 2 rules! rule #1: slipcovers (you can wash them very well); rule #2: No food/drink outside the eating area.
    I have white couches and 15′ of window seats with white boxed cushions in my living room. I wash everything twice a year max! I have 4 small children (whom the second they were born knew about my #2 rule!!)!

    Happy New Year to all of you, Coco’s readers!

    The round-top armoire is gorgeous, as is the whole room. Could you share the source for that as well?

    Hi Coco,

    Your tiny cottage is absolutely delightful, and your leaning Christmas tree is just like life, not so perfect but so endearing. Happy New Year to you and your family, such a fabulous blog, great work and I say work because it is an immense amount of work.

    Coco — Do your couches have slip covers? This is a perfect idea for me! i want white couches but since I have two young boys, I have been afraid to invest in one. I don’t know why I never thought of this before.

    Hi! Yes the sofas are slipcovered in white denim with chocolate brown piping – I had my upholsterer make them. Because I have a dog, I do a lot of washing of the slipcovers but it seems to work. Just be prepared…you’ll have a very good relationship with your washing machine.

    As far as the arched cabinets, I have two of them. I got them years ago from a guy here in Los Angeles who had imported them from somewhere. They are mahogany. Love them and the fit so well into my small space.

    As far as the coffee table, Jean Royere is one of my favorite furniture makers…he made a coffee table called the Tour Eiffel in the 1940s or 50s. Those cost about $25K-50K now and are very rare. I got this near look alike if you can believe it at Crate & Barrel years ago for about $500.

Keep it simple. No need for bells and whistles an Keep it simple.  No need for bells and whistles and fancy things to make your house a home.  In this picture, a plant, two chairs I found at the flea market, a layered rug situation and some modern art...de-cluttered space can be equally as inviting as one filled with memories and treasures.  If you are stuck with how to decorate, I say keep it simple.  Purge and start with the basics.  Full disclosure, this is a shot of my living room from a few years ago when I first moved in...I didn’t even have drapes up when this was taken.  I have since added pieces and changed out furniture and added a 2nd sofa...but it started super simple and it was lovely back then.  When the world is swirling around us and making no sense, how are you keeping things simple at home?  #socococozy #bringstylehome #cococozy
Pre-pandemic throw back photo to where I was last Pre-pandemic throw back photo to where I was last year.  Clueless as to what was to come.  Was in Paris, with my mom, enjoying her summer apartment in the middle of the 6th arrondissement.  I had just left the U.K. visiting friends for a few days in London and the Cotswolds.  None of us knew that this summer 2020 would be so different.  Today, I can only hope this time of tumult and great divides leads somehow to a future of calm and harmony.  Going backwards in time is not an option.  Pushing forward is.  Happy Sunday to you.  Where were you last summer?  Where do you imagine you’ll be next? Xoxo #socococozy #bringstylehome
Incredible living room before and after as designe Incredible living room before and after as designed by my good friend Steve Jones @bettershelter!  I went on a tour today.  I also went on a tour a year ago when he first got the house.  See my stories. Swipe to see what this room looked like before.  Life lesson from a room transformation:  When faced with the daunting and not so pretty, look to do the work, and you can make changes to bring  out what is good.  Right?  This home by the way is going on the market soon and is in one of my favorite parts of town, View Park.  What changes have you made lately that have turned bad into good? #socococozy #bringstylehome #remodeling #homerenovation #californiadreaming
“Be patient with yourself it has been a funky fe “Be patient with yourself it has been a funky few months in the world.” My friend Manon texted this advice to me today.  She is right.  A little patience and a lot of kindness to yourself and to others during these unusual times will go a long way.
***
Am in my living room right now looking at these pretty flowers in that white urn I found lying around.  The urn works (see Flower Power highlights for backstory). Thinking on who I might send one of these bouquets to today as a little act of kindness.  Still working on the patience piece of her advice! 🤪 Who might you send flowers to?  How can you be more patient with yourself? Happy Saturday!

Hi! Finally something to smile about! 😂 Exciti Hi!  Finally something to smile about! 😂 Exciting flower news today as I debut the first ever COCOCOZY designed bouquet in my latest partnership! Tada.  Here is The Classic by COCOCOZY exclusively on @ftdflowers + @proflowers as part of their #herestoher initiative!  Swipe left to see it up close.  I wanted to design a super lush classically beautiful bouquet that would look good in any home during the fall/winter.  Roses, eucalyptus and so much more in soft whites and greens.  I am so happy with the final product.  What’s great is that this hand tied bouquet comes in a box straight to your door and you can put it in any vase.  If you swipe left you can see it in my breakfast room.  Perfect for sending as a birthday gift, celebration, expression of love or friendship, a business gift, a thank you to someone or I recommend ordering for yourself every couple of weeks to cheer up your space as we stay at home more!  I plan on getting them weekly!  Anyhoooo...I’m linking to the bouquet in my profile.  Have you ever ordered flowers for yourself just because?  Who might you send these to?  #socococozy #bringstylehome #cococozy
