SMART DESIGN: PLAID KITCHEN!

October 16, 2012

small modern eat in kitchen with plaid walls, louis ghost chairs, round wooden table, stools and a chalkboard

Here’s a cute idea. A small kitchen with plaid walls! Hmmmm…would have never thought of it but it works here. A cute small eat in kitchen in a Swedish apartment with a white subway tile backsplash, modern stainless hood, white cabinets and plaid wallpaper on all of the other walls. The plaid works here. Not too overwhelming. Just right. Adds a bit of whimsy and visual interest to what could end up being just a regular small space.

Amazing too that they were able to fit a little round table with some clear Louis Ghost chairs into the design mix.  I like.

Smart design I think. I’ve added a few wallpaper patterns below that could also look good in this type of space.

Do you like this idea of plaid on the walls in a kitchen?  Is a SMART DESIGN or not so smart all?  Is this something you would consider for your home?  Why or why not?  Please weigh in below.  I LOVE reading your comments.

Happy Tuesday!

P.S. Just got an update today about a project we’ve been trying to move along with a major brand.  Will keep fingers crossed that it works out and that I can tell you about it soon.

P.P.S.  Also, just heard from another big company who might want to use COCOCOZY throws for their corporate Christmas gifts.  Fingers crossed that it works out!  Will of course blab the details should it come to fruition.

P.P.P.S.  Still no resolution on my floor issue (you know the wood floors that are damaged due to a pipe exploding)…can’t seem to get the floor guy to come out and give me an estimate.  Arrrggghhhhhh….!

P.P.P.P.S. Thanks to all of you for your pictures of your pumpkins and for the great ideas you emailed me.  My neighbor has tricked out her house for Halloween already…I’m going to have to try to keep up by carving my one and only pumpkin!

P.P.P.P.P.S. Had a nice dinner last night with JLF.  So good to catch up after so long.

    Love plaid rugs. Think this wallpaper is a bit too 70’s for this 70’s child.

    I don’t like plaid wallpapers that much but now that I saw your kitchen design I am thinking of doing it too. Kitchen renovations in Perth wa is popular because they are good at making a dull room look cool. I’ll ask my cousin if he can do this to my wall but using paint and not a wallpaper.

    Do you have the design name/company name for this wallpaper please – have been looking for one exactly like this for a long time. Thank you.

    The design looks perfect with those kitchen cabinets. I just don’t like the color because it looks dull.

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!
