Living Room

ROOMS TO LOVE – GRAY WITH A HINT OF SHINE!

September 1, 2011
  • Share
Bedroom with a fireplace and wood floors, pale purple tufted, wing back headboard, and two marbled nightstands on each side of the bed with silver leaf mirrors. Above the bed is a wall mounted sculpture made of butterflies

I really love these two rooms.  They do have a bit in common –  gray tones and the hint of a metal finish (the silver leaf frame mirrors in the bedroom and the gold floor lamps in the living room below).   Nicely done in my view!

Living room with grey upholstered seating with nail head trim and turquoise accent pillows, a dark grey fireplace with tall brass lamps on each side and white panel molded walls

What do you think of these rooms?  Anything stand out for you?

Happy Thursday!

P.S.  Thank the hundreds of you who have watched the latest COCOCOZY DESIGN GUIDE audio video post on a few design finds from my quick European vacation.  Sorry for the typos and the editing glitches!  Whooops.  All of my 1st – grad school teachers are cringing with all of my blatant typos and the entertainment executive in me is shuttering at the 1970s nature of the whole post.   Just found out that you cannot correct a video you post on YouTube!  Oy vey.  Well I hope you found the tour of the Ralph Lauren cafe and the quick images of the hotel with the sparkling lobby interesting nonetheless!

P.P.S. Note to self: remember last Note to Self about making sure to double check everything you post instead of forgetting or ignoring previous Note to Selfs (“Selfs” is not a typo here…just didn’t know how to make Note to Self plural….would it be Notes to Self or Note to Selves???) and constantly not double checking and constantly finding silly errors that then you forget to go back and correct and then new readers and old readers alike think “So strange that she would have this blog and chose to include so many typos or mistakes…or maybe she’s just not that smart?!@#$”.  Hmmm…

    I like the living room more than the bedroom, which is a bit too glam for me. Individual pieces are great however.

    One question in the living room. I understand the way the shot is set-up but it looks as though the fireplace isn’t used either.

    Stunning! I adore dove grey. The bedroom is too fabulous. The bed is wonderful and I love the matching mirrors because they look like a one of a kind mirror, but then you have two matching. Cool! I’d have very nice dreams in this room…..

    I am totally in love right now with anything that has a silver sheen.

    The more subtle, the better.

    Love the Living Room FAR more than the Bed Room. The painting in the Living Room draws you IN and creates a very calm vibe. Love the Living Room lamps, rug and colors too. In fact love the ENTIRE Living Room. Dream room.

    I love the palette in both rooms, but I also think the living room is a little more approachable than the bedroom. I absolutely love the beer can butterflies installation by Paul Villinski in the bedroom–I really wanted to do one of these installations on a huge wall in my living room, but ended up doing something else. Maybe someday…

    In case you’re interested the first room is from a Trad Home from a year or two ago. The entire house is done in silvery grays and is one of the moat beautiful I’ve ever seen in that publication. The second one is also a fave. I always liked the seating in that one. If I remember correctly that one was an a magazine cover as well. Amazing pics! Thanks for sharing!

    That painting glows and the fireplace mantle is gorgeous. I love the pops of bright blue and purple.

    Love the second room, particularly the moody painting. Shades of gray look so chic.

    Yes! Please tell me where the bed is from! I’ve been searching and can’t find anything like it! The closest I’ve found it at Horchow, but it’s not the same.

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!
