Malibu Home Renovation - Caesarstone & More

September 4, 2015

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,

Keep it simple. No need for bells and whistles an Keep it simple.  No need for bells and whistles and fancy things to make your house a home.  In this picture, a plant, two chairs I found at the flea market, a layered rug situation and some modern art...de-cluttered space can be equally as inviting as one filled with memories and treasures.  If you are stuck with how to decorate, I say keep it simple.  Purge and start with the basics.  Full disclosure, this is a shot of my living room from a few years ago when I first moved in...I didn’t even have drapes up when this was taken.  I have since added pieces and changed out furniture and added a 2nd sofa...but it started super simple and it was lovely back then.  When the world is swirling around us and making no sense, how are you keeping things simple at home?  #socococozy #bringstylehome #cococozy
Pre-pandemic throw back photo to where I was last Pre-pandemic throw back photo to where I was last year.  Clueless as to what was to come.  Was in Paris, with my mom, enjoying her summer apartment in the middle of the 6th arrondissement.  I had just left the U.K. visiting friends for a few days in London and the Cotswolds.  None of us knew that this summer 2020 would be so different.  Today, I can only hope this time of tumult and great divides leads somehow to a future of calm and harmony.  Going backwards in time is not an option.  Pushing forward is.  Happy Sunday to you.  Where were you last summer?  Where do you imagine you’ll be next? Xoxo #socococozy #bringstylehome
Incredible living room before and after as designe Incredible living room before and after as designed by my good friend Steve Jones @bettershelter!  I went on a tour today.  I also went on a tour a year ago when he first got the house.  See my stories. Swipe to see what this room looked like before.  Life lesson from a room transformation:  When faced with the daunting and not so pretty, look to do the work, and you can make changes to bring  out what is good.  Right?  This home by the way is going on the market soon and is in one of my favorite parts of town, View Park.  What changes have you made lately that have turned bad into good? #socococozy #bringstylehome #remodeling #homerenovation #californiadreaming
“Be patient with yourself it has been a funky fe “Be patient with yourself it has been a funky few months in the world.” My friend Manon texted this advice to me today.  She is right.  A little patience and a lot of kindness to yourself and to others during these unusual times will go a long way.
***
Am in my living room right now looking at these pretty flowers in that white urn I found lying around.  The urn works (see Flower Power highlights for backstory). Thinking on who I might send one of these bouquets to today as a little act of kindness.  Still working on the patience piece of her advice! 🤪 Who might you send flowers to?  How can you be more patient with yourself? Happy Saturday!

Hi! Finally something to smile about! 😂 Exciti Hi!  Finally something to smile about! 😂 Exciting flower news today as I debut the first ever COCOCOZY designed bouquet in my latest partnership! Tada.  Here is The Classic by COCOCOZY exclusively on @ftdflowers + @proflowers as part of their #herestoher initiative!  Swipe left to see it up close.  I wanted to design a super lush classically beautiful bouquet that would look good in any home during the fall/winter.  Roses, eucalyptus and so much more in soft whites and greens.  I am so happy with the final product.  What’s great is that this hand tied bouquet comes in a box straight to your door and you can put it in any vase.  If you swipe left you can see it in my breakfast room.  Perfect for sending as a birthday gift, celebration, expression of love or friendship, a business gift, a thank you to someone or I recommend ordering for yourself every couple of weeks to cheer up your space as we stay at home more!  I plan on getting them weekly!  Anyhoooo...I’m linking to the bouquet in my profile.  Have you ever ordered flowers for yourself just because?  Who might you send these to?  #socococozy #bringstylehome #cococozy
