THIS OR THAT: WHICH PREPPY BED DO YOU PREFER?!

October 6, 2011
  • Share
Bedroom with ticking stripe upholstered striped sleigh bed, a matching striped bench, white built in shelves and a wood floor

Two chic rooms for the modern prep in today’s THIS OR THAT!

I like this bedroom above. Ahhh…a retreat indeed. Soothing, calming, not a lot of visual clutter. Then there is the adorable upholstered bed covered in ticking stripe fabric.  Subtly preppy.  Reminds me of Nantucket.

Then there is the room below…another preppy bed…this time plaid upholstered.  This is more of Southern preppy room in my view. (lots of plaid from me this week I know…!)

Which preppy upholstered bed do you like better…the ticking stripe above or the plaid slip covered bed below?

rustic country bedroom a a plaid slip covered headboard, roof line post beam ceiling, rustic wood desk, chair and wood floor

Have you decided?  Which room is your fave? I’m leaning towards the ticking stripe…I think…

Happy Thursday!

    I did plaid once. It has taken me a long time to get over it. I vote stripes. :0

    I adore the stripe ticking – it is neutral but not plain or boring!! It get’s my vote! Cheers! Becky

    I like the rustic-y feel of the plaid bed room, but I prefer the cleaner feel of the stripe one.

    I vote for neither. I am so sick of rooms that look like catalog photo shoots. These rooms look like Pottery Barn pictures, just different years. It is a sad of affairs in the world of design when catalog companies, who do nothing but knock off other’s design work, have this much influence over interior design.

    I love the serenity of the first; though it really needs one of your great throws and a cool garden stool.

    not that fond of either bed, and abhor foot boards! But love the ROOM in the second pic and the casual feel, just not the headboard, plaid, and the bed skirt. lol I love beds with legs. 😉

    Ticking stripe!!! I just bought ticking stripe curtains for my bedroom, and I love them – vintage-y but preppy, clean and linear all at once!

    I like the second one because it has more color and personality. The first is clean, bright and modern, but it lacks anything oroginal to set it apart from a catalog set.

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!
