THIS OR THAT: MOSAIC KITCHEN BACKSPLASH!

February 12, 2013

Which of these two kitchen looks do you like better.

The white kitchen with the blue mosaic chevron pattern backsplash?  Or the kitchen with the dark wood cabinets and the Moorish looking mosaic tile backsplash?

Which do you prefer.

THIS?

OR THAT?

I like both kitchens definitely! But if I had to pick a look for my house…it is tough but I would pick the 2nd kitchen if you can believe! Normally I always lean towards the light and bright so picking #2 is truly a departure!

What do you think?  If you had to scoop up one of these kitchens and put it in your own home…which would you take? Please vote in the comments below!

Happy Tuesday!

    I love them both! I love the blues in the first photo but the simplicity of black and white never goes out of style.

    Definitely no. 2. The first one reminds me of that BArgello stitch needlepoint pattern that was so popular in the 70s. In other words-it looks dated, not timeless.

    Number 2…love the colors in the first but I’m afraid the pattern would make me a little dizzy…still, I really like it, but number 2 feels really good to me (and I don’t normally like wood tone cabinets).

    Number 1, all the way. Thanks for the inspiration. I’ll consider it in my kitchen remodel.

    Both beautiful, but #2 might be a bit more timeless…in my opinion, of course! 🙂

    I love ‘that’. Class colors, a great pattern and rich wood is too hard to refuse.

    Looking at the pictures I would say the first one… but seeing it in person I would probably go with the second for sure- they are both great though!

    Absolutely #2, so much less of a commitment. The pattern and color can go in many directions, something I feel is important with something so permanent

    The ikat-inspired tile is beautiful and fresh and certainly on trend in number 1 but the design is maybe little too trendy for our taste. Who wants to live through a kitchen remodel every 5 years? Number 2 is interesting and classic and has a more personal feel.

    They’re both gorgeous! But I really love the second one. Please tell me where to find it as I have been searching for months!!

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!
