KEEPING IT SIMPLE!

March 3, 2011
  • Share

Living room with wood floor, built in bookshelves, french doors thrown open to a beautiful outdoor setting with two wood chairs facing each other on a green rug

Today, feeling like I need to keep things more simple in my life. Took a nice morning walk at Runyon Canyon today. Was really peaceful at 6:45a (See COCOCOZY Twitter for a photo). It was beautiful outside this morning…quiet…simple…not a lot of worries. When I got home, I got some strange news…that threw me off a bit…then realized…I need to just keep things a little more simple and all will work out.

This room scene says wonderful simplicity. A Sausalito home with French doors thrust open to a beautiful lush outdoor setting and two simple wood chairs facing each other but with great opportunity to take in the scenery behind them. Love the built in bookshelves too.

Happy Thursday!

P.S. A huge thank you to Apartment Therapy for naming COCOCOZY one of the 10 Textile Designers to Watch. Found out on a fluke…and was a nice surprise yesterday!

    Love the picture! Sometimes simplicity is the way that works best. Hope your strange news wasn’t bad news.

    I have been thinking about simple living a lot lately. Funny…this caught my eye because I watched the Masterpiece Theatre movie Room With a View last night. Love your blog.

    “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.”- That’s what Leonardo de Vinci thinks anyway. I agree with him!

    Couldn’t agree with you more! I’m sitting in my newly painted breakfast room, nothing hung on the walls, looking out my french doors at the greenhouse my dad and I built last summer…peaceful.
