NYC DECOR ENTHUSIAST DECORATES DELIGHTFUL HOME!

Photos: Dwellers without Decorators

A woman after my own heart…someone who is not a decorator but loves to decorate.

Decor enthusiast Suze Yalof Schwartz from Decorators without Dwellers blog remodeled her family’s New York City dwelling. I happened upon her posh blog and then saw these wonderful photos of the NYC home she shares with her husband and children.

Love everything Suze has done with this apartment…everything…from the shades of blues and grays on the walls, to the Madeline Weinrib rugs throughout the house, to the custom mirrors with chic graphic frames, to the addition of decorative molding on the walls, to the white painted built-ins and found pieces, to the classic furniture thrown in here and there (namely a fab redone Eames chair she inherited), to the Jonathan Adler furniture classics scattered throughout…everything…I repeat, I love everything she did in this home.

Here are the photos of Suze’s ravishing remodel…

Living room with Madeline Weinrib rugs, a fireplace with a white frame, navy sofas and bright blue armchairs

Dining room with wood floor, oval table, and white and blue upholstered dining room chairs

Family room with Madeline Weinrib rug, navy sofa and white desk with a lamp with a bright orange base

Bedroom with a redone Eames chair, window seat, two large pillows and a patent black ottoman
White bedroom with a blue rug and large yellow square above the bed instead of a headboard

Hallway with white counter and drawer, a lamp with a transparent base and a mirror with a graphic white frame

To see all of the fabulous before and after photos from Suze’s apartment remodel, go to this post from her blog Dwellers without Decorators or see her series of June 2010 posts on her entire home renovation, remodel and redecorate.

I think I am loving her custom mirrors the most…can’t really decide though because there is so much to love here. Oh, I do love all of the Madeline Weinrib rugs too (but I already said that…right?). I can’t pick. Can you? What is your favorite?

Maybe Suze should change careers and become an interior designer!

Happy Monday!

P.S. I went on a fun little trip this weekend. Won’t tell you just where just yet..but you can try to guess. See the COCOCOZY FACEBOOK PAGE for one photo from my weekend trip – this week’s visual trivia. Please play along and try to guess where I was. Make sure that you “Like” the Facebook page so you can leave a comment with your guess.

P.P.S. Thank you to Chris from Just a Girl blog for the nice mention about my recent deck makeover!

P.P.S. A special shout out to fantastic reader Ruth…thank you for catching my spelling errors! Appreciate it!

    I love the blue green and yellow in the living room and dining room and how the art carries the color to make it flow. This is a stunning home.

    this is gorgeous, and i am coveting the white shelving used in the living room for the tv, etc. do you know where they are from? i saw you post ikea and crate and barrel ones, but they are too small. i love these!

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!
If you're interested in learning how I have gotten @cococozy products into stores around the country over the years including in major retailers...follow along...just one entrepreneur's journey. :)

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!
