KITCHEN WEEK: MAKING A SPLASH WITH MOSAICS!

May 5, 2011
  • Share
kitchen with white cabinets and drawers, stainless appliances and black and white tile walls

KITCHEN WEEK keeps on cooking (sorry…cliche…trite…I know…but you know me…can’t help myself)!

So I’ve been enjoying having a little design focus this week so much that KITCHEN WEEK will extend through Sunday…a full 7 days instead of the 5 days that I promised earlier in the week. So it seems the notion of some order in my hectic life is actually inspiring me to be slightly even more productive. Well who knew? (Please once again do not answer…I know you will all just say, “Coco…of course being organized and having a plan will make you more productive…hello?…who are you?…how could you not know this?” For fear of what you might answer…I hereby make the “Well who knew?” question completely and entirely rhetorical)

So…back to being focused…kitchens…yes kitchens…

I love an intricately designed mosaic ceramic tile backsplash! Especially love a mosaic tile with a Moroccan feel. Hence, I absolutely adore this image of an all white kitchen with a detailed mosaic backsplash that goes all the way to the ceiling! This idea works with either dark or light cabinetry I think. As long as everything else in the kitchen is very simple, I think a mosaic backsplash with lots of detail can make the space!

Here’s a look at a few mosaic tiles I’m loving right now…need another kitchen to remodel. I want this in my kitchen!

A mosaic tile with a graphic blue, white and green pattern on it
Mosaic House – Nejarine – $46 per piece (9″x9″ ceramic mosaic tile) (above)

Mosaic House – Darj – $116 per piece (11.75″x11.75″ mosaic ceramic tile)(above)
Mosaic tile with a white, lavender and brown star pattern
Mosaic House – Mogador – $136 per piece (13.25″x13.25″) (above)

What do you think of mosaics on your kitchen walls? Just right or too much? What is your ideal backsplash look?

Happy Thursday!

    Mine is a mirrored back splash….I absolutely love it. People ask if it is hard to clean, but really, just a little Windex…super easy.

    I have a mosaic on my kitchen walls -it’s a minimalistic kitchen, the mosaic is 6 cm wide. It looks cool!

    My back splash for the moment is the same as my granite though it actually looks really nice. Once we are done with the remodel and have some free budgeting again we plan to replace the counters with polished concrete (my husband’s specialty) and a new back splash. The mosaic is a bit out of my liking, however that kitchen is lovely.

    I usually like a backsplash but sometimes it’s better without. I do however LOVE this photo! I love the black with the white on white- it gives it a really nice illusion without being too much. I have to give you some credit Coco- I didn’t used to like white on white so much until reading your blog. Thank you for inspiring me!

Behind-the-scenes: Fun work trip to visit the COCOBehind-the-scenes: Fun work trip to visit the COCOCOZY bedding collection at the Welspun showroom in New York. Met with some buyers, had a fun time with the Welspun team, then capped off the weekend with a visit with friends. It is a long process to get bedding in stores across the country...showing the collections at textiles market is one of the first steps!
If you're interested in learning how I have gotten @cococozy products into stores around the country over the years including in major retailers...follow along...just one entrepreneur's journey. :)

Today is my birthday but...I don’t want to celeb Today is my birthday but...I don’t want to celebrate...I want to help.
I want to make a meaningful impact in our greater Los Angeles community suffering from the fires. I invite you to join me in transforming birthday wishes into support for one local organization on the ground in Pasadena/Altadena.
I have made a contribution today already to the LA Fire Relief Fund created by @victorybiblechurch in Pasadena. They are actively assisting families in need in both Pasadena and Altadena who have been affected by the devastating Eaton Fire.
Although I don't have a personal connection to Pastor DeCuir or the church, I was searching for an organization that is helping in the Altadena area. A well respected civil rights attorney I follow @leemerrittesq is on the ground helping the church members and community members with legal services in the wake of the fires. I hope by contributing to their efforts, we can extend a helping hand to those facing significant challenges during this difficult time
To donate, please visit their website at https://vbcpasadena.org/ (link in bio as well). Every contribution, no matter the size, brings hope and relief to those who need it most. Tell them you heard about them from me.
Your generosity to the Los Angeles community is the best birthday gift I could ask for.

Happy New Year! 🎉✨ As we step into this freshHappy New Year! 🎉✨ As we step into this fresh chapter, I’m reminded of the beauty of starting anew and I like recommitting to goals at the top of the year. Nothing set in stone but just an overall vision of what I'd like to do and who I would hope to help along the way.
This year, my mantra is: **dream big, act boldly, treasure the small joys, continue to lead with kindness and to have as much empathy as possible for others **. Just a few things...😂
I’m also deeply committed to helping people who follow along to achieve their dreams. I'll be curating captivating interior design inspiration with COCOCOZY that will hopefully give you ideas and dreams for your own space. I will also be empowering you to realize the value of your influence with Chirpyest by earning cash back for sharing and shopping. I hope to be open about the journey of the COCOCOZY product line. I want to share real time behind the scenes how the line is being built and how we are growing Chirpyest; both examples of the not so linear journey of building businesses from the ground up. I hope these stories spark you to push your own boundaries and shake out of your comfort zones.
Lastly, in 2025, I’m committed to surrounding myself with people who have a positive vibe about them while striving to be that same light for others. Luckily, I have a great start on this with an amazing family and fantastic group of friends - a fantastic support network.
My wish for you in 2025: May this year bring you clarity, courage, and the confidence to pursue all that makes you happy.
What’s one thing you’re committing to in 2025? Let’s inspire each other in the comments! 💬❤️
Let's get to this...am ready 2025!
