WEEKEND PHOTO: HINT OF MINT!

March 13, 2011
  • Share

On the left there is a mint green chest of drawers with matching gold lamps with pale pink shades, two green bottles and a vase holding Japanese Magnolia branches. On the right is a home office with a purple rug, white chair, black laquer desk with a white orchid in a turquoise pot. The walls are covered in dark wall paper until you reach the bottom half it is white paneling. Behind the desk is a mirror in a white frame.

I like a hint of mint green. Saw a post on some blog the other day (I wish I could remember whose…if it is yours send me an email and I’ll update this post with a mention) about mint green – not with these photos but about the color mint. I like the idea of mint green. I like a hint of mint.

So when I came across these photos from L.A. designer Hillary Thomas…I thought she does this minty green just right. Love the mint green credenza (buffet) and the smidge of mint in the form of vase in the office scene. So cool and refreshing.

I really want to stop by Hillary’s new L.A. furniture store called Chic Shop…will definitely do when I come up for air soon!

Happy Sunday all!

P.S. This time change thing is throwing me off. Always confused…does it mean it will be lighter or darker tonight at 6p? Clearly I’m not the sharpest tool in the shed early on Sunday mornings! Help…! LOL!

    I love a hint of mint for a big impact. I did a blog post earlier this month about a aqua/black wedding with a similar feel.

    I like the mint with the pink accents! The black and white office area with the hint of mint and the great lilac rug is perfect.

    It’s a pity that mint green was overdone (along with dusty rose) in the 50’s, because I think it’s taken this long for designers to accept it into their hearts (and portfolios) again.

    The Hillary Thomas rooms were jaw-dropping. Thank you!

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!
