Father’s Day is just around the corner, less than two weeks to be exact. Undoubtedly, shopping for Father’s Day gifts is simultaneously one of the easiest and hardest tasks ever. There are tons of options, but how do you know how to narrow down the perfect present? Every year around this we scramble around trying to find how to best show our appreciation, despite their pleas that they don’t want or need anything. That’s why the COCOCOZY team has created a Father’s Day gift guide to help you skip the cheap gag gifts and find him something he’ll truly love.

Everyone wants a dreamy backyard. So when I saw this poolside cabana at a Hamptons home I became inspired. The property is a private few-acre lot in Southampton, New York. Making it the perfect summer oasis for any family. Interior designer, Victoria Hagan teamed up with expert landscaper, Miranda Brooks, and Ferguson & Shamamian Architects. Together they designed a serene coastal getaway that features a dreamy pool house. Learn all about it on today’s blog.

I’m going to leave on a trip soon. As I started making my packing list, I discovered I want some new summer staples. It’s funny how a simple search for flat sandals and a new dress grew into a full-fledged desire for a total wardrobe revamp. Who can resist all of the wonderful summer trends? Not to mention the impact of our favorite celebrities, who usually sport their summer looks effortlessly. Have you seen the recent photos from the Cannes Film Festival? (I need to remind myself to plan a trip to Cannes for next year.) To guarantee I don’t miss anything, I enlisted my fabulous team to scour the internet for the very BEST summer fashion trends of 2023.

Back in 2021, I gave my patio a complete makeover, transforming it into my personal oasis. The two-year anniversary has just passed and I am reminiscing on the process of fixing my leaking patio, into one of my favorite spots in my home.

Outer furniture played a huge role in my patio makeover. Within the large space, I added a sectional and two armchairs. The furniture is laid out perfectly in each corner, perfect to host guests. Outer has extended its Memorial Day sale where you can get up to 30% off with the code EXTENDED.

I adore charming cottage renovations. Mainly, because I lived in a small cottage in Los Angeles. So when I see a uniquely renovated cottage it piques my interest. I discovered this lovely home in House & Garden. This pale stone cottage, with its charming turrets and gables inspired by Scottish castles, has undergone a remarkable renovation that seamlessly blends history with modern design. Influenced by her Norwegian roots and years in Portugal, the current owner has transformed this cottage into a practical yet aesthetically pleasing home for her family. Each room has intricate details using vintage materials and elegant wallpapers. The owner collaborated with Gloucestershire-based architect Christian Fleming to help expand the property to fit her four children comfortably. The 16th-century cottage feels like it came from a fairytale. Scroll below to see the rest of the home.

My dear friend (who also happens to be an incredible world-renowned interior designer), César Giraldo, invited me to a party for Design Week. He teamed up with Tag Front, an architectural firm to design a sleek and sophisticated mansion in Bel Air. Oh…and the price tag of this modern Bel Air mansion is $68 Million! The home is nestled on the prestigious Bel Air Road. The design of this sophisticated pad is a testament to Giraldo’s exceptional talent and Tag Front’s commitment to architectural excellence. Take a tour inside the Bel Air home.

Happy Memorial Day! Here’s some kitchen inspiration to help get you inspired for this holiday. There are a lot of Memorial Day sales happening until tomorrow.

Renovations have been top of mind for the COCOCOZY Team lately.  Recently, we have been doing a lot of musing about waterfall counters for kitchen islands.  The idea is that the surface you use as your kitchen countertop waterfalls down the sides of the island cabinetry.  The visual effect is that it looks like the kitchen island is wrapped in marble, quartz, concrete, wood, or metal for a chic, seamless look. Keep reading to hear about these cool counters and see seven examples that the COCOCOZY Team is in love with.
