THIS OR THAT: SPOT ON CHAIR VIGNETTES!

April 3, 2013
  • Share

Same animal print spotted wallpaper two very different chairs and looks.  Which do you prefer.

One chair vignette is a bright turquoise blue faux bamboo fretwork chair loaded up with fab fashion books and a stack of magazines in the home of interior designer Tiffany Richey.

The other scene is in interior designer Meredith Heron’s design office and features a black leather Louis XVI side chair, black bookshelf complete with a carved stone bust.

Does one of these vignettes appeal to you more?  Which might you prefer in your home?

Thibaut – Tanzania Wallpaper – $72 per roll  (black and off white spots. Animal print wall covering)(above)

Oh…by the way…I am LOVING this Thibaut wallpaper.  So wonderful.  Am totally not an animal print or animal spots girl…but I LOVE this wallpaper.  Can you tell I am obsessing over wallpaper lately?  Might have to branch into that next for COCOCOZY!

Let me know in the comments below…which chair picture is perfect for you? I would love to hear your thoughts. I’m leaning towards the bright turquoise chair against the spotted wall but am not sure.

Happy Wednesday!

P.S.  UH OH – After 3.5 months out of my house due to construction for water damage…I was supposed to move back in this weekend!  Woohooo!  Right?  Wrong.  We of course had a little snafu.  A big snafu really!  The wood floor stain on the brand new wood floors is not at all right. I wanted a light gray floor but instead I got a weird putty color with yellowing varnish showing.  Needless to say…I wasn’t happy…so today…the floor guy is back at the house…re-sanding the floors and will try at it again.  Here’s a look at the floors in my bedroom that now need to be redone AGAIN.  Oy vey.  Look, I recognize, there could be a lot worse things that happen to me so I am taking this all in stride.  We are doing several samples.  Last time the guy only showed me sample with one coat of varnish…he put 3 coats on and I think a lot of the yellow from the white oak came through.  My neighbor JH came over yesterday during our “floor meeting” with the contractor and the floor guy…she is an expert in decorative finishes…so that helped.  We’ll see!  They said it would take 4 or 5 days extra.  Keeping fingers crossed!

This is my bedroom in my tiny cottage in the Hollywood Hills – the floors are not quite the right color – back to the drawing board (above)

P.P.S. To leave on a positive note…had a great conference call with JP, AR and AR today discussing the marketing and p.r. for my partnership with them…they are the people we made the 500 pillows for…a major fashion brand that we are collaborating with this summer.  It all is very exciting.  Will tell you more soon.  They are really nice and we had a fun conversation.

    Ah, I love them both! The top one’s a bit girly so I’d naturally pick it because I’m single but numero two would be better for those living with men

    Love the wallpaper…have matching shoes 😉

    They are both gorgeous! So tricky to choose. I really love the Meredith Heron one, however, because the solid back of the Louis xvi chair really helps balance the business of the paper! I hope you can move back into your home soon!

    I love the first vignette. You can never go wrong with a turquoise bamboo fretwork chair. Best of luck with your floors – the extra effort will be worth it in the end!

Before you start moving furniture, ask yourself thBefore you start moving furniture, ask yourself these three questions:
Does this improve the room’s function?
Does it create a better focal point?
Does it make the space easier to walk through?
If the answer is “no” to all three, maybe it’s just the rearranging itch talking. 😅
Save this for the next time you’re tempted to move every piece of furniture in your house.
Watch to the end to weigh in. Clogs or no clogs? TWatch to the end to weigh in. Clogs or no clogs? They are on sale...not sure.
Summer sale season is here, and we are not holding back. 👏
This is the time of year to finally grab those pieces you’ve been eyeing all season. The good news? Major markdowns are happening right now across some of the best brands.
Our tip: Shop with intention. Know your palette, know your fit, and choose pieces that work with what you already own, not just because they’re on sale.
We’ve already done the hard work and created a Summer Sale Shopping Board filled with our favorite finds. A Shopping Board is like your own storefront. It’s a curated collection of products you can shop yourself or share with others to earn when they purchase through your links.
✨ Want to make it yours?

Or grab the link here 👉 https://www.chirpyest.com/s/cocoedit/summer-sale-2026/2071?mode=share
From there, you can shop the collection, share it with your audience, earn from your recommendations, and get cashback on your own purchases. 💛

A 90s home in Amman, Jordan, entirely remodelled by local artisans. Neo-Florentine bones, Levant-eclectic sensibility, arched passageways, and a flea-market-meets-commissioned-art collection that makes every wall feel intentional.

This is what happens when a home is built by people who actually know the place. 🖤

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.

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. 🖤
