SPRING HOME TOUR: INSIDE A TRADITIONAL LA HOME!

I can’t wait until this Sunday! I’m going on tour…well, errr, I’m going on a tour of homes I should say…a fantastic tour of traditional homes in Los Angeles’ Hancock Park area.

First house on my stop will be this recently remodeled Mediterranean house that was perfectly redone by the talented architecture firm of Newman & Wolen Design.

I have been to this house…invited by the owner and architect himself, Tom Newman (…she brags about having “been” as she pretends to be just reporting the facts)! Love it and can’t wait to see it again.

So the scoop is…this Sunday, April 19th, from 11a-4pm, the Los Angeles chapter of the American Institute of Architects (AIA) will host the first leg of its Spring Home Tour. The focus on this day of the self-guided home tour is the traditional Hancock Park home that has been updated and remodeled. Four homes to see on Sunday. For wonderful remodels.

Am only showing you a few photos from this spectacular Newman & Wolen Design remodeled house right now…I will do a full feature with before and after photos on this home a little later and include many details.

Tom, the architect and owner. also did an exclusive Cococozy Q&A with me about the home and the well executed remodel (…she brags again…just to brag…for bragging sake. Stop. She knows what you are thinking…is this something to “brag” about or just gladly comment on? She answers: who wouldn’t brag over an exclusive Q&A with a prestigious architect (“she” is bragging again btw in case you didn’t notice) and before and after photos? No need to answer…once again, “she” is always fearful of what readers might respond to rhetorical questions…) (Aside note: Hope “she” is not struck down by lightning for throwing all graces and etiquette aside by clandestinely mentioning things but really bragging in her mind…hmmmm…after awhile people do catch on to this sort of thing…hmmmm(again)).

Anyhooo, this post is simply a preview of what I’m going to see and you could too this Sunday if you are in Los Angeles.

You are not going to feel motivated every day. AndYou are not going to feel motivated every day. And you don’t have to.
Some days you’ll feel inspired and everything seems to click. Other days, you’ll question what you’re doing and wonder if any of it is actually working.
The important thing is not to mistake a slow day for a step backward.
You can keep going even when the motivation isn’t there. Some days, showing up is the progress.
Save this for the days when you need the reminder. 🤍

The best parts of Paris might not be on your itineThe best parts of Paris might not be on your itinerary. 🇫🇷
Some of my favorite travel moments are the ones you don’t plan: the pretty street you turn onto, the café you notice while walking by, the building you stop to look at for no particular reason.
So if you’re planning a Paris trip, don’t fill every hour. Leave room to wander.

Sometimes the problem isn’t the work. It’s where ySometimes the problem isn’t the work. It’s where you’re doing it.
So today, I took my work somewhere else. ☕️💻
A little change of scenery, a different view, a few hours away from my usual desk and somehow the workday felt a little lighter.
I’ve found that working somewhere else can be a nice reset when I’m feeling stuck, uninspired, or just too used to the same routine. It’s not necessarily about being more productive; sometimes it’s just about making the day feel different.
A little workday change of scenery with me. 🤍
Would you take your work somewhere else for the day?

A great parquet floor doesn’t just ground a room. A great parquet floor doesn’t just ground a room. It tells you everything about the history of the space. The patina, the pattern, the way light moves across it. These are the rooms that prove good bones never go out of style.
What’s your favorite parquet pattern?
Save this for your next renovation inspo and follow for more. 🖤
