Three rooms…three countries…I like

Was browsing through Interiors Magazine and found these spaces…from Cuba, Thailand and right here in the U.S.

Three living rooms…three very different interpretations…one unifying color…international blue!

Which of these rooms are you most drawn to…?  Which space could you be happy living in?

Happy happy Friday!

P.S.  Lots to catch up on in the P.S. section…will P.S. up a storm next week!

P.P.S.  Was raining here when I woke up at 5:30a.  Now it is later in the morning (running late oy va voy) and the sun has come out.  Love when a good rain washes away all of the muck in the air.  Only problem is that I am missing half of a roof over my tiny tiny tiny side deck.  Hmmm…need to get that fixed.  Hmmmmm…..

    Hi Coco…I’ve been one of your avid followers for quite awhile and love your fabric/pillow line. Could we hope that someday that you make some of your fab patterns into wallcoverings?

    I love the charm and character of the first picture but the New York space is the most comfortable in terms of living. Not big on blue though.

Before you start moving furniture, ask yourself thBefore you start moving furniture, ask yourself these three questions:
Does this improve the room’s function?
Does it create a better focal point?
Does it make the space easier to walk through?
If the answer is “no” to all three, maybe it’s just the rearranging itch talking. 😅
Save this for the next time you’re tempted to move every piece of furniture in your house.
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.

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. 🔖

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. 🖤
