SUPER SUN-SOAKED SPACES! (and a little bit about Katy Perry!)

September 22, 2011
  • Share
white entry way with a light yellow door, wood floor, a sea grass rug, a round mirror table holding a large tear drop vase with a plant, two grey ottomans are under the table, in the foreground there is modern white chair with a curved back

Have I mentioned before that I absolutely love Lonny Magazine (the web shelter magazine created by Michelle Adams and Patrick Cline)?  Have been running around over the last week…falling out of Emmy dresses and the like (see previous post)…so I didn’t get a chance to do a full study of the new 2nd anniversary Lonny issue until now.  Love it!

Lots of light bright sun drenched rooms and spaces.  Chic, well styled, smart and light.   Here are a few of my favorite spaces from the latest Lonny Magazine!

White porch with a black side table and a white daybed with red and white patterned cushions and pillows
White bedroom with paneled walls, a dark wood floor, iron bed frame, black pillow with white poka dots and a matching throw pillow at the foot of the bed. The black nightstand has a tall brass lamp with a black lampshade
Bedroom with French doors with Roman shades, a white nightstand designed in the shape of branches holds a silver clamp light and instead of a headboard, the white bed with green and paisley accent pillows, has a black chalkboard
Sun streams through a french door into this bedroom with a black chalkboard headboard – genius! (above)
Living room with dark floor, Lucite coffee table, two upholstered Louis XIV chairs and white cabinets with glass doors

Which of these is your favorite?  I’m loving the bench on the veranda and the chalkboard headboard bedroom.

What is the lightest brightest sun filled room in your home?

Happy Thursday!

P.S.  A SUPER DUPER big thank you to mega pop star Katy Perry for mentioning COCOCOZY as her favorite design blog in this month’s InStyle magazine article that just came out yesterday!!!!  I can’t believe it!  I’m totally freaked out that Katy Perry reads COCOCOZY and all of my random musings on things.  I wonder if I need to start being more serious and less scatter brained.  Oh dear…nervous.  Calm. Calm. Breathe.

P.P.S. When friend Melissa Maffei from children’s store tottini in Seattle tweeted something yesterday about Katy Perry, In Style and COCOCOZY, I didn’t have a clue what she was talking about.  I thought what a nice combo of names to put in a tweet but I don’t know why they are all in a tweet together…so I literally tweeted back something like “Help me understand what is going on here”.  Then Melissa @tottini tweeted the following:  “New InStyle mag came out yesterday, Katy Perry said you were a fav blog to watch! Awesome mention, congrats!”.  I then almost fell out of my chair…hung up on the work person I was talking to…grabbed my purse (a huge oversized Gucci tote that weighs about 50lbs because it is over loaded with who knows what of miscellaneous items that I must bring with me to work each day that are not at all needed but I feel I must bring to work…so just to clarify…when I grabbed my purse, I almost fell over again because it is so heavy) and ran out of the office to buy the InStyle.  When I arrived at the newsstand I started taking random photos of the magazine to email to my sister and friends!  My dear friend Aline photoshopped the Katy Perry COCOCOZY mention into a beautiful little montage and posted it on Facebook.  Oh what a beautiful day!

Katy Perry mentioning COCOCOZY in InStyle Magazine and the InStyle magazine cover
My friend Aline photo shopped the Katy Perry quote and InStyle magazine cover! (above)

P.P.P.S.  Uh oh…just got freaked out again…that Katy Perry is reading the blog.  She is a total trendsetter (Katy has 10 million followers on Katy Perry Twitter if you can believe and 35 million followers on her Facebook page…I am now one of them). Hmmm…maybe I need to be more interesting…more fantastic…more fabulous…more “editorial” (whatever that means)…more musical (don’t think any of you would want me to be musical so strike this one).  I think she seems really cool…but now I’m nervous. Oy va voy.  I know.  I can’t help it.  Maybe the article was written months ago and she’s moved onto another fave blog…and then I can just continue to blabber like I am just talking to myself and few thousand of my closest friends like I do every day.  LOL!

P.P.P.P.S.  I think I need to start another blog called P.S. because my P.S.s have gotten so out of control lately.  For the first time ever, I’ve added a photo into the P.S. section.  Problem is…after I write each post, I have a million other things to say that are not relevant to the post at hand…so I’ve been liberally and clearly misusing P.S.  This picture addition is a clear overstepping…but I couldn’t help myself!!!

P.P.P.P.P.S.  Also, thank you to Emily Ruddo of Armonia Decors for featuring a COCOCOZY Stripe throw in the brand new Toujours magazine.  Toujour is a new online magazine focused on art and design.  Thank you Emily!

P.P.P.P.P.P.S.  Back to the Katy Perry thing…if you are reading Katy…thank you again!  xo

    PSSSSS. I love the PS.-es! And, that home is quite gorgeous. I’ve been dying to turn a wall into chalkboard with that special paint, but as a renter, I’m too chicken…

    Really like the entry hall. I have noticed you really love symmetry and so do I! It is a perfect example of how that should work and so airy, too!

    Oh my gosh! I’m friends with Aline, too! I saw her post on FB yesterday and thought, oh…Aline’s a fellow Cococozy reader. Had no idea she knew you personally. Small world. And now I feel cool because there’s only one degree of separation. 🙂 Congrats on the very cool shout-out!

    I am not surprised. It’s a great blog with a great name & a light-hearted approach. Also,it’s full of great design inspiration and YUMMY eye candy. Katy, if you are reading this…MY blog is off limits to you because my daughter is a huge fan, and she would simply D-I-E of the humiliation. Stick with COCOCOZY. It rocks. And it frequently makes me smile.

    I love the idea of a chalkboard wall in a bedroom. I’ve recently transformed my dining room into a chalkboard dining room. (I’ve asked all my friend to put one quote or piece of advice that they couldn’t live without on the walls so that while dining, I’m surrounded by wisdom and great words) See it here!

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!

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!
