WEEKEND PHOTO IN NEW YORK!

September 10, 2011
  • Share

Photo by Coco of COCOCOZY

Ornamental cabbage or kale in the flower district in New York City

Took this photo in the flower district in New York last month. Don’t know what type of flowers these are but I loved them.  To me they look like cabbage leaves…but I’m sure I’m wrong.  Right?

Any one of you garden gurus know what these are?  If you know…please comment below.

Hope you have fun plans for this weekend.  I had a nice dinner last night at a new hotel in Los Angeles.  Will tell you scoop later.  Have an art event tonight and need to go try to get my dress for the Emmy Awards tailored!  The Emmy Awards are next weekend.  Did I mention I am going?!?  Woohoo!!!  Debating between two dresses and need to get the second one done before deciding.

Anyhooooo….good weekend to you!

Happy Saturday!

    Looks like some kind of cabbage to me, cabbage can be very ornamental, maybe it’s a pale version of kale 🙂

    I also vote for some variety of ornamental cabbage. Love to mix veggies with flowers though!

    It’s ornamental kale. Don’t know about over there, but here in Australia it’s quite commonly used in floral arrangements.

    Hi
    My name is Dale and I live in Australia.
    We have plants very similar to this one is various colours, we call them Ornamental Cabbage. They grow medium size with the shape of a cabbage minus the vegie inside.

    I actually have the colour you love growing. It was in a flower arrangement that I purchased for My Mum & Dad’s graveside.

    Don’t know what they are, but they would make a REALLY fantastic centerpiece!

    Too bad the Emmy’s are so soon – I would offer to make you some bling! 🙂

Here’s what happens when I start playing with tablHere’s what happens when I start playing with tablescapes in my dining room. ✨
I love layering pieces I already have, mixing textures, adding a little greenery, and seeing how a few small details can completely change the feel of the table.
There’s no one right way to create a beautiful tablescape. For me, it’s about making it feel collected, welcoming, and ready for people to sit down, stay awhile, and make memories.
These are a few of the tablescapes I’ve created. Which one is your favorite?
Comment TABLE below and we’ll send you more tablescape ideas to inspire your next gathering.

Want a bedroom that feels cozy, warm, and invitingWant a bedroom that feels cozy, warm, and inviting? Start with these simple changes:
1. Layer your bedding. Mix sheets, a duvet, quilts, and throw blankets to create that plush, lived-in look.
2. Add warm lighting. Swap harsh overhead lighting for bedside lamps, sconces, or a statement light with a warm glow.
3. Bring in plenty of texture. Think linen, velvet, boucle, chunky knits, and soft rugs.
4. Keep the palette warm and calming. Soft neutrals, earthy tones, and muted colors instantly make a room feel more restful.
5. Mix in natural materials. Wood, rattan, woven accents, and stone add warmth and character.
6. Make the walls feel personal. Art, photographs, or even a statement headboard can make the room feel more finished.
7. Add something organic. A vase of branches, fresh flowers, or a little greenery can bring the room to life.
The goal isn’t to make your bedroom perfect. It’s to make it feel like a place you actually want to retreat to at the end of the day.
Save this for your next bedroom refresh. 🤎

Summer is when this courtyard really comes alive.Summer is when this courtyard really comes alive. 🌸
One thing I’ve learned is that every outdoor space needs a focal point. It gives your eye a place to land and makes the whole space feel more intentional.
In this courtyard, the bougainvillea naturally becomes that focal point, adding color, height, and movement without overwhelming the space.
If you’re designing your own patio or garden, start with one standout feature, then let everything else support it.
Save this tip for your next outdoor project. ✨

Design by @covetnoir. A 1750 Georgian home in Surr Design by @covetnoir. A 1750 Georgian home in Surrey, restored back to its former grandeur.
Grade II listed and stripped of most of its original character by previous owners, this 9,000 sqft home with seven bedrooms, and five bathrooms was brought back to life for a French-Swedish couple raising two young kids here. The brief: Parisian luxe with a Scandinavian twist, and a design calm enough to keep the grand proportions feeling intimate.
Covet Noir rebuilt what had been lost: full plasterwork, raised & fielded panels, a bespoke decorative ceiling, and added a cantilevered limestone staircase with Nero Marquina cabochon inlay in the entrance hall. The material palette leans into marble and alabaster, softened with boucle and brushed cottons, chosen to hold up to two kids and two dogs without losing the elegance. Antique furniture and architectural fittings were sourced throughout to keep the project sustainable, alongside ground source heating.
Grand bones, calm hand. This is the kind of restoration we could look at all day. 🤍
