OLD CHURCH CONVERTED INTO A COZY FAMILY HOME

May 16, 2014
  • Share

Not many people would see a church and think “cozy”.  Well I found this charming home on The Design Files. A church built in the 1800’s about 2 hours outside of Sydney, Australia that has been converted into a family home.  The arches, high ceilings, exposed beams, the old wood floors all give this house so much character. A bright cheerful space with a wonderful past

Would you want to live in a converted church?  What do you think about this country home?

Happy Friday!

P.S. LEICHT SHOWROOM OPENING – Last night, after work made two stops with TE. Second stop was the Clippers game downtown (TE picked that one). First stop was my choice…we went to a fab opening party at the new LEICHT kitchen showroom on Beverly Blvd. in West Hollywood.  So fun to see the amazing modern engineering of these high end German kitchens. Debra Tendler is the owner of the showroom. So many sleek well designed kitchen options to see.  Food for thought indeed.  I was invited by the folks at Caesarstone (CEO Sagi Cohen and VP Karen Schakarov) who have some of their fantastic counters on display in the LEICHT showroom…including a new Caesarstone surface that literally looks like white marble.  I have Caesarstone in my own kitchen and love it.

    We would live in a converted church if it had these fabulous wood work details!

A well-designed bunk room isn’t just for kids. It’s about making every guest feel like they got the best bed in the house. Built-in storage, thoughtful lighting, and bedding that actually makes you want to climb up top.
Save this for your next build or renovation inspo and follow for more. 🖤

This Toronto home just redefined “warm modern.” 🤎 This Toronto home just redefined “warm modern.” 🤎
Designer Ashley Montgomery layered reclaimed wood beams, brass hardware, and deep walnut millwork against soft plaster walls, and somehow every single room still feels calm. The olive built-ins in the living room, the arched oak doors, that brass shower enclosure in the primary bath... this is what happens when someone actually commits to a palette.

How much summer can you fit into a few days? ☀️⛵️How much summer can you fit into a few days? ☀️⛵️
I flew from Los Angeles to Nantucket for a very quick trip and I’m planning to find out.
Beautiful beaches, boats, gorgeous interiors, time with friends and one last little dose of August.
Turns out you don’t always need a whole week to feel like you got away. 🤍
So happy to be visiting bestie @francesgfayard and her husband Calvin and my godson Carter for a little last minute end of summer travel. New England at its best. Day 1 was a beautiful day. 🤩
You are not going to feel motivated every day. AndYou are not going to feel motivated every day. And you don’t have to.
Some days you’ll feel inspired and everything seems to click. Other days, you’ll question what you’re doing and wonder if any of it is actually working.
The important thing is not to mistake a slow day for a step backward.
You can keep going even when the motivation isn’t there. Some days, showing up is the progress.
Save this for the days when you need the reminder. 🤍

The best parts of Paris might not be on your itineThe best parts of Paris might not be on your itinerary. 🇫🇷
Some of my favorite travel moments are the ones you don’t plan: the pretty street you turn onto, the café you notice while walking by, the building you stop to look at for no particular reason.
So if you’re planning a Paris trip, don’t fill every hour. Leave room to wander.
Follow COCOCOZY for more beautiful places, interiors, and inspiration.
