My Living Room: Embracing The Morning Light

February 21, 2018
  • Share

It truly is the little things that make life happy. A view of my living room embracing the morning light!

Every morning when I wake up, walk down the stairs and see this morning light in my living room, I am filled with such great joy! It’s easy to start the day with a positive mind when greeted with such a cheerful and bright glow.

The past few years have been a roller coaster for me (to say the least) — and I’m feeling extremely grateful to have found this Spanish style Beverly Hills house after making the difficult decision to sell my tiny little cottage in the Hollywood Hills. 

The radiance in this special spot of my “home for now” reminds me to embrace all the newness that comes with this next chapter!

Having a space in your home that instantly gives you happiness is key. I encourage you to find a spot — ANY spot — within a few steps of you as you wake up that will lift you up as you start your day. Clean up a corner, put a few simple things in it that you love, and voilá… your literal happy place!

The Blue Sitting Nook

But first, coffee… in this nook! I love these refurbished flea market chairs paired with this fun side table from Serena & Lily. You can shop it by clicking here.

The big window in the blue nook creates a wonderful shadow on the floor. I crave this time of day because of it!

This painting by Brian Wills brings such a nice pop of color to the room. I love how it compliments the blue-greens in the COCOCOZY area rug and throw blanket.

 

And goodness, I’ve had this coffee table for so long I almost can’t remember where I got it. I believe it’s from Crate + Barrel from over 15 years ago! Don’t do the math…

The brass swans are another flea market find!

I spiced up this couch from Restoration Hardware with fun pillows and a throw, all from COCOCOZY. You can shop the collection by clicking here.

All of the chairs (other than the couch) are vintage flea market finds that I have had refurbished. Which makes me wonder… would you like to see a post specifically on how to redo chairs?? Let me know!

These heavy woven cotton drapes with grommets were purchased while I was traveling with my mom in Paris. Such a fun (and cheap!) find!

xo!

    Love this light filled room and your house is divine Coco! I’m inspired and hoping to find a place like it when I move to LA this summer from Cape Cod to be near my daughter in MDR. And, like you, I have a really tough decision to sell my tiny little beach cottage that I absolutely adore but it will be an adventure!

    So glad I found you!!

    Coco,

    Thank You for the blog posts regarding the Spanish Colonial you’ve been working on. We just bought one in Whittier for my mother-in-law and trying to pick exterior paint colors, etc. Good luck!

Summer is when this courtyard really comes alive.Summer is when this courtyard really comes alive. 🌸
One thing I’ve learned is that every outdoor space needs a focal point. It gives your eye a place to land and makes the whole space feel more intentional.
In this courtyard, the bougainvillea naturally becomes that focal point, adding color, height, and movement without overwhelming the space.
If you’re designing your own patio or garden, start with one standout feature, then let everything else support it.
Save this tip for your next outdoor project. ✨

Design by @covetnoir. A 1750 Georgian home in Surr Design by @covetnoir. A 1750 Georgian home in Surrey, restored back to its former grandeur.
Grade II listed and stripped of most of its original character by previous owners, this 9,000 sqft home with seven bedrooms, and five bathrooms was brought back to life for a French-Swedish couple raising two young kids here. The brief: Parisian luxe with a Scandinavian twist, and a design calm enough to keep the grand proportions feeling intimate.
Covet Noir rebuilt what had been lost: full plasterwork, raised & fielded panels, a bespoke decorative ceiling, and added a cantilevered limestone staircase with Nero Marquina cabochon inlay in the entrance hall. The material palette leans into marble and alabaster, softened with boucle and brushed cottons, chosen to hold up to two kids and two dogs without losing the elegance. Antique furniture and architectural fittings were sourced throughout to keep the project sustainable, alongside ground source heating.
Grand bones, calm hand. This is the kind of restoration we could look at all day. 🤍

Which vaulted ceiling style is more your speed? Dr Which vaulted ceiling style is more your speed? Drop your answer 👇
A — Warm wood beams and stone

A great vaulted ceiling doesn’t just add height. It changes how a room feels entirely. The best ones make you stop, look up, and never want to leave.
Save this for your next build or renovation inspo. 🖤

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.

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.
