RUSTIC MODERN DINING ROOM!

October 17, 2012

What a great dining room!  I like all of the varying textures, the natural neutral color palette, the liberal use of all things wood and all the while maintaining an air of sleek modern.  I call this style rustic modern.  All of those elements that technically would be used in rustic style decor but that have been fashioned in a clean line modern way.  Understand what I mean?

Wood paneled walls and wood slatted ceilings work in this space (painted wood slats on walls always look good in my view) to create a cozy feel to the space.  The clean lines and subtle curves Danish furniture add a vintage mid century modern vibe to this eating area as well.  Light colored wood floors blend in with the walls.  I love the lighting too…large glass and wire grid pendant lights too.

I like.  Take a look.

I absolutely love the French doors with the trellis pattern detail. (above)

What do you think of this dining room?  Would you call it rustic modern or something else?  What do you like?  What don’t you like?  Please advise in the comments below!

Happy Wednesday!

P.S.  Had a mini Presidential debate watching “thing” at my house last night.  Served some nice cold white wine (it is so hot here in Los Angeles), put out a nice fruit and cheese plate, and ordered in pizza and salad from one of my favorite restaurants…Cheebo. Had a great time watching the debate and then laughing about the news commentary on CNN after!

P.P.S. Later this week, I’m going to a very small private cocktail event here in Los Angeles where I get to meet a big huge name in the fashion industry – from here on out “The Icon”.  I was invited so I could be introduced to “The Icon”.  The cocktail party is oh so small.  “The Icon” is a huge commercial success in fashion and I’ve read about how he got started as inspiration when I was starting my home furnishings collection.  “The Icon’s” team wants to introduce me to him because of the COCOCOZY textiles collection.  I’m not supposed to talk about any of the specifics I don’t think…so I’ll keep very quiet now as to who “he” is.  Don’t know what to wear though.  Yikes! There will be a handful of famous people there too.  Oy va voy. I have a cute leather top (but might be too hot)…I also have an adorable navy and black sparkling mini skirt  (but it looks better with opaque black tights and it is too hot for that)…I think the weather is going to thwart my stylish wardrobe plans.  Please have the weather drop to 60 degrees overnight so that I can wear my cute fall outfits!  Please.

P.P.P.S.  Happy Wednesday again!

    LOVE this look! Rustic elegance is definitely my favorite mix, and I feel that this rustic dining room has lots of elegant touches, like the fur covers on a few of the chairs.

    Overall, I love this room. I’m not crazy about the fur covers because I love the sleek, mid-century modern chairs design they are on. I’d be happier seeing the fur as pillows placed here and there within this room.

    What an incredible dining room. The mixing and matching of all those textured chairs with the long table is just fabulous. Makes me want to throw out all my chairs and start from scratch!!

    … perhaps “Retroistic”…or “Urbangrunge”… Interesting space, but the fur lost me.

    LOVE to know who “The ICON” is and how the meeting went. 🙂

    All the best

    Oh how funny…
    I’ve enjoyed reading your blog for a while. I’m an interior designer in Chico, CA and have gotten some good ideas from you. But I used to live in LA and my good friend is the manager/part owner of Cheebo. Reading that you ordered from there brought back memories. Thanks! Sage ([email protected])

Keep it simple. No need for bells and whistles an Keep it simple.  No need for bells and whistles and fancy things to make your house a home.  In this picture, a plant, two chairs I found at the flea market, a layered rug situation and some modern art...de-cluttered space can be equally as inviting as one filled with memories and treasures.  If you are stuck with how to decorate, I say keep it simple.  Purge and start with the basics.  Full disclosure, this is a shot of my living room from a few years ago when I first moved in...I didn’t even have drapes up when this was taken.  I have since added pieces and changed out furniture and added a 2nd sofa...but it started super simple and it was lovely back then.  When the world is swirling around us and making no sense, how are you keeping things simple at home?  #socococozy #bringstylehome #cococozy
Pre-pandemic throw back photo to where I was last Pre-pandemic throw back photo to where I was last year.  Clueless as to what was to come.  Was in Paris, with my mom, enjoying her summer apartment in the middle of the 6th arrondissement.  I had just left the U.K. visiting friends for a few days in London and the Cotswolds.  None of us knew that this summer 2020 would be so different.  Today, I can only hope this time of tumult and great divides leads somehow to a future of calm and harmony.  Going backwards in time is not an option.  Pushing forward is.  Happy Sunday to you.  Where were you last summer?  Where do you imagine you’ll be next? Xoxo #socococozy #bringstylehome
Incredible living room before and after as designe Incredible living room before and after as designed by my good friend Steve Jones @bettershelter!  I went on a tour today.  I also went on a tour a year ago when he first got the house.  See my stories. Swipe to see what this room looked like before.  Life lesson from a room transformation:  When faced with the daunting and not so pretty, look to do the work, and you can make changes to bring  out what is good.  Right?  This home by the way is going on the market soon and is in one of my favorite parts of town, View Park.  What changes have you made lately that have turned bad into good? #socococozy #bringstylehome #remodeling #homerenovation #californiadreaming
“Be patient with yourself it has been a funky fe “Be patient with yourself it has been a funky few months in the world.” My friend Manon texted this advice to me today.  She is right.  A little patience and a lot of kindness to yourself and to others during these unusual times will go a long way.
***
Am in my living room right now looking at these pretty flowers in that white urn I found lying around.  The urn works (see Flower Power highlights for backstory). Thinking on who I might send one of these bouquets to today as a little act of kindness.  Still working on the patience piece of her advice! 🤪 Who might you send flowers to?  How can you be more patient with yourself? Happy Saturday!

Hi! Finally something to smile about! 😂 Exciti Hi!  Finally something to smile about! 😂 Exciting flower news today as I debut the first ever COCOCOZY designed bouquet in my latest partnership! Tada.  Here is The Classic by COCOCOZY exclusively on @ftdflowers + @proflowers as part of their #herestoher initiative!  Swipe left to see it up close.

I am so happy with the final product.  What’s great is that this hand tied bouquet comes in a box straight to your door and you can put it in any vase.  If you swipe left you can see it in my breakfast room.  Perfect for sending as a birthday gift, celebration, expression of love or friendship, a business gift, a thank you to someone or I recommend ordering for yourself every couple of weeks to cheer up your space as we stay at home more!  I plan on getting them weekly!  Anyhoooo...I’m linking to the bouquet in my profile.  Have you ever ordered flowers for yourself just because?  Who might you send these to?  #socococozy #bringstylehome #cococozy
