My House – Spanish Style Courtyard

August 22, 2017
  • Share

This is where I live now.  A charming Spanish style home nestled in a Beverly Hills canyon.  I couldn’t be happier to finally settle somewhere.  Long story on how I ended up here…that will be for another day.  Today, before work, having a cup of tea and enjoying the lovely courtyard view.  If you follow me on Instagram and watch my instatories, you know that at the beginning of the month, I moved in.  I have totally stressed myself out trying to get everything looking good immediately.  One of my friends at work, KS, told me to calm it down and enjoy the process of decorating.  I couldn’t…I spent the last few weeks obsessing over details and changing things around…and now I am partially satisfied…but the tweaking will continue.

Today I wanted to give you a glimpse of one of the outdoor living spaces at the house (Case de COCOCOZY I am calling it).  The white Spanish style exterior with blue trim is sooooo charming.  I have brought in all of my plants, outdoor furniture, lights, umbrellas (not shown here) and even COCOCOZY Tower Court outdoor rug!  Here’s a tour of how it looked yesterday on the day of the solar eclipse!

Best of friend AM and I found this little black metal cafe table set at an antique store last weekend in North Hollywood!

I am so lucky to have a design driven best friend AM.  She and her family came this weekend.  They were my first visitors.  AM helped me pull together the finishing touches on EVERYTHING.  In the courtyard, she even painted accessories for me…all of the metal lanterns and votive holders that were looking pretty dingy…she appropriated all of them and before I knew it she had a spray paint can in hand and painted them all white.  Thank you bestie!

I love white daisies.  Went to the flower mart over the weekend and bought these pretties.

Off to work now! What might you add or subtract from the courtyard?  Comment below.  Would love to know!

 

P.S.  You will be seeing a lot of this house.  Every nook and cranny.  Hope it inspires you and your design.

    Hi Coco!
    Congrats on the new Casa! I would build a half tent to shade and cover the seating area, probably striped or in a Moroccan design. I would immediately change the brown cushions for a blue to match the window moldings. Plant some fuschia bougainvillea and buy some large clay pots which I would paint Majorelle bleu, white and yellow. I’d use Yves Saint Laurent’s Majorelle in Morocco as inspiration. As a fellow Angeleno, I love Neo Spanish Colonial architecture. West Hollywood has quite a few Spanish courtyard buildings and they all utilize Moorish design, Spanish tiles etc. Santa Barbara is another Mecca of inspiration. Meanwhile, Bonne Chance!

    You need some height and shade. Get 2-3 large terracotta pots and plant some trees (possibly flowering ones). By growing trees in pots, you can move them around to create different vignettes or ‘rooms’, when you want to change things around.

    I’m in love. What a gorgeous outdoor space-my favorite thing about California is the year round outdoor living. Can’t wait to see the rest of the house.

Last weekend I started my spring cleaning project. Last weekend I started my spring cleaning project. I still have some more things to clean. I organized my garage it looks so much better. I always feel better when things are clean and organized. I hate that I have all of this stuff. I’ve collected different items over the years from flipping a house, product line, samples, and outdoor dinner party accessories. Too much stuff! I’m glad most of it is organized now. Maybe it’s time for a garage sale?? Did you start any spring cleaning projects?

Here’s a beautiful kitchen for some inspiration. Here’s a beautiful kitchen for some inspiration. A historic Washington D.C. townhouse fully gutted & renovated. The matte black and white floors adds some drama. While the off white cabinets and the oak island makes the kitchen feel warm and intimate. What do you love about this kitchen design?
