THE SILVER LINING ON A TRADITIONAL DINING ROOM

I’m not a total traditionalist when it comes to decor…not traditional at all. BTW, When COCOCOZY has been written up, my style has been called “eclectic”…”eclectic” to me always sounds like a bit of a kooky descriptor…doesn’t that just mean “all over the place” when it comes to decor? Hmmm….

I think though I do like a mixture of classic and modern – a blend of sorts.

This dining room is totally traditional but I like it – it doesn’t adhere to my decor preference of “blending” styles and leaning a bit more towards the bold and modern. It caught my eye though as I was looking through the portfolio of New York interior designer Meg Braff. She is known for making traditional feel young. This does feel like a fresh version of traditional!

Love the silvery greys in this space…I love the rich grey chairs with the white trim and I LOVE THE CHANDELIER!

Happy July!

    What a gorgeous room! It is bright and airy, perfect for a champagne brunch, but I bet it gets glamorous when the sun goes down, making it the perfect locale for a sexy dinner party.

    I really love the size of that table. Hoping I have one like that some day. Actually, round is great for I big table, I think, but the dimensions of this one also seem good for the space.

    Who says grey is boring!? This room is gorgeous. I agree with you Coco, it has a lot of traditional elements to it, but I think the grey makes it appeal to the classic modern style I love!

Panic mode activated!
If you only have 10 minutes, focus on these three things:
1. Make the bed. It instantly makes the whole room look cleaner.
2. Fold or straighten the throw blanket and pillows.
3. Clear visible clutter from nightstands and the floor.
That’s it. Those three steps make the biggest visual impact without deep cleaning.
Save this for the next time you need a fast bedroom reset. 🔖

Black is not a bold choice. It’s a neutral, and one of the most versatile ones in design.
The rooms that get it right treat black the same way others treat white or greige: as a foundation that lets everything else breathe. The texture of the wall. The warmth of the wood. The drama of the marble. Black doesn’t compete, it amplifies.
Save this the next time someone talks you out of going dark. 🖤

Life when I’m offline. 🎣 On this trip to Park CitLife when I’m offline. 🎣
On this trip to Park City, UT, I was way off line with a little fly fishing. No emails. No DMs. No feed. Just a rod, a beautiful river, and however long it takes to catch something.
Running two brands means my brain rarely stops so when it does, it really does.
No fish were harmed. All fish were returned into the river.
What do you do when you log off? Comment and let's give each other some ideas!😀

15 things you don’t know about me 👋 1. I’m the fo15 things you don’t know about me 👋
1. I’m the founder of COCOCOZY, but design wasn’t my first career. I was a t.v. news reporter and then a t.v. executive.
2. I’m also the founder of a tech company, Chirpyest.
3. My work has been featured in Architectural Digest and House Beautiful.
4. I designed an entire Design House from scratch.
5. I’m obsessed with mixing vintage flea market finds with modern furniture.
6. Paris is basically my second home. I go every chance I get.
7. I once found a pile of rusty horseshoes at a flea market and turned them into decor.
8. Black and white is my go-to palette when I’m stuck on a design.
9. I am an expert at making a short story long! 😬
10. I believe a side table can make or break a room.
11. Kindness is genuinely one of my core values, not just a bio line.
12. I’ve been doing design and content long enough to have opinions on everything from rugs to real estate. 18 years!
13. I’m just as happy on a flea market hunt as I am at a design fair.
14. My camera roll is 70% room shots, 20% selfies (obsessed with skincare and fashion these days) 10% coffee in Paris cafés.
15. I started sharing all this because I love it, not because it was the “smart” thing to do.
Now you know a little more about the person behind COCOCOZY 🤍 Which one surprised you most? Tell me below.
