Starting this post with a non sequitur…
True story…
Last night, when I got home after a dinner out with a friend I found a strange delivery at my front door. It was 10pm. When I walked up the stairs to my little cottage…there was a bed on the front stoop. A bed? Yes. A bed. Really it was huge box that contained a large bed frame. I immediately texted a neighbor and asked her if it was hers…it was not. I did not order a bed. I don’t need a bed…but for some reason someone delivered a bed to my front door. It looks like it came via FedEx. It was so heavy that I could not bring it in the house and it was so dark I couldn’t read the label. This is one of those bizarre things that seems to happen to me on a regular basis. Anyhooo…I’ll have CM look into this strange bed delivery situation today. Strange indeed.
Anyhooooooooo…back to design…lah dee dah.
So as you all know. I live in the smallest tiniest cottage in the Hollywood Hills. This means I have barely any closet space. I dream of a walk in dressing area…where I could study my wardrobe options, test out my fashion prowess, a vanity where I could preen and primp before leaving the house. Dreaming indeed. If I did have such a space, would I line the walls with wallpaper? Or would I leave them blank.
Take these two closets/dressing rooms for example…both very girly and feminine…both using wallpaper with a little shine and glimmer to it. Which of these do you like best? That’s the question in today’s this or that.
I’m liking the vanity dressing area with the butterfly wallpaper the best I think. I love the rock crystal knobs on the drawers.
Which do you like best? Or would you decline these girly closets and go for something more basic sans wallpaper?
Please do tell!
Happy Tuesday!

P.S. Our ever so popular porcelain Ginger Jar made the May/June issue of New York Spaces magazine! For some reason, this little jar has been one of the more popular items in the COCOCOZY Random Stuff section of the COCOCOZY shop…that’s the section where I curated a bunch of random home furnishings I love. I have two of these jars sitting on my fireplace. They are cute little accents!
P.P.S. Hope you have a fabulous day!

ohhh i would love to get dressed in such a wonderful dressing room! who wouldnt, right??
I’m falling in love with that dressing table and I have no space in my room for that, at all… Damn you! 😀
I guess my IKEA shelves will have to be fired, pack all their stuff and GO!! There’s a new lovely dressing table waiting for the space! 😀
i like the lay out of the first wardrobe… the space has been used for maximum storage but i like the butterfly wallpaper and LOVE the rock crystal handles in the second one …i say combine the looks so u get the best of both designs!x
i’m liking the first photo’s wallpaper… and now I’m considering to wallpaper our walk-in closet too! have to look for something gender-neutral, though. Cos I’m sharing it with my husband!

Oh my god, Im in LOVE WITH THAT CLOSET! Seriously! Not to mention I’m a huge butterfly nut, so all those wall decals/stencils are drivin me crazy. Where are they from?? I just got a new bedding set from wakeupfrankie.com and it’s butterfly themed. They would be perfect!
I love the second closet; the dressing table is fantastic! I often wonder about wallpaper myself. Sometimes, my fantasy closet has Gracie wallpaper, but most of the time it’s mirrored (a la Miles Redd’s bathroom). The latter is probably more me, but if there’s ever a place to go girly, it’s your closet!
