Malibu Home Renovation - Caesarstone & More

September 4, 2015
  • Share
caesarstone bathroom sink cococozy
Our custom floating integrated sink made of Caesarstone Frosty Carrina! Finally it is in!

Happy Friday!  With the long holiday upon us…I can’t wait to relax with my guy TE and family!  I just got back from Chicago late last night.  Was there on business for 3 days.  Loved Chicago.  Check out my Instagram feed to see a little glimpse of my trip there but I am so happy to be home.

Got home and there are still so many little things to do here at our house…our Malibu home renovation is nearly complete but all of the finishing touches seem to be taking forever.  Everything looks finished but unfinished…missing light switch plates, missing stair railing, need barn doors, light fixtures, shelving, attic doors built out, laundry room shelves, floor vent covers and paint, paint and paint.  I didn’t mention all of the  landscaping that needs to be done and furniture that needs to be sourced and acquired (using the word acquired lately as a euphemism for the words “buy”, “spend”, and “purchase”…all words that stress my guy TE out understandably).

Anyhooo…as I sit here in the house with my Friday off…and I have a few workmen and the electricians here…I wanted to give you a little update.

One big thing is that we finally got our quartz Caesarstone bathroom integrated sink installed and the mirror.  See above.  We used a Caesarstone called Frosty Carrina in the master bath.  I love it.  Conventional design wisdom is to not mix quartz and marble surfaces in the same room.  Well we threw conventional wisdom out of the door because it made no sense.  We are so happy with our decision.  We have a beautiful durable bathroom sink top made of Caesarstone paired with a gorgeous marble basketweave floor and a blue marble moonstone tile wall and it all works together perfectly.  Love!

Anyhooo…here are some glimpse of what is going on in our little world of renovating a house on a hill in Malibu.

Now onto our custom design sofa…these are some sofa leg finishes and styles we looked at. We are building a 12’x10′ sectional for our main living room!

Custom cabinets are being built around the vent over the stove in our kitchen. Notice the Caesarstone backsplash. Still waiting for our kitchen island to be finished!

 

Malibu Home renovation vent covers
Vent covers we are using throughout the house…some are my custom designed covers that we will use on the master bedroom ceilings. Others are stock cast metal designs for the public rooms. Love these

 

Cococozy Embroidered Pillows
COCOCOZY embroidered pillows in the master bedroom! So much fun using my textile designs in the house.
Moonstone Basketweave Mosaic Tile
This is my favorite tile in the house. Moonstone, basalt, white marble basketweave mosaic used in the downstairs bathroom.
Malibu home renovation living room
This is view down hall off the living room. Stairs still need treads and we need a railing for the downstairs.

 

Hope you enjoyed these little glimpses of our renovation project. This weekend, TE and I are running some errands and then relaxing with family and friends.  Should be a good time.

Hope you have a great Labor Day weekend!

Happy Friday!

    Georgeous house and selections, Coco! Can’t wait to see the finishes 🙂
    Totally agree with you on mixing the marbles and Caesarstone. I’d do it too. What is your source for the vent covers (customized and stock)? I love them!
    Thanks,

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!
