WEEKEND PHOTO: TIME FOR A BRIGHT IDEA!

August 8, 2010

Photo by Coco of Cococozy
Blue glass jug pendant light and a large clock at Cisco Home in Brentwood

I took this photo at Cisco Home in Brentwood awhile back. A blue glass jug pendant light and a large clock side by side.

I happened upon this photo in my archives yesterday and thought that this would make the perfect weekend photo.

Love the idea of time and light side by side…something metaphorical about this photo. The light symbolizes bright ideas and inspiration to me. The clock is a manifestation of the saying carpe diem (seize the day). Time does not stop so go pursue your bright ideas and your inspiration now.

Tomorrow, I’ll write about nonsensical things that happen to me, dilemmas on how I couldn’t buy something that I wanted, or some bad t.v. show…don’t worry…you haven’t lost the good old Coco…this post is just an aside.

Happy Sunday!

P.S. My daily COCOCOZY FACEBOOK PAGE reminder. Please remember to “Like” me on Facebook. Making a big push so that we can start the next Facebook only giveaway sooner rather than later. 2000 followers on Facebook means another fabulous linen pillow giveaway. Last time only 50 people entered the Facebook giveaway so the odds are good. If you are already following there…please “Suggest to Friends”! Today, on Facebook, I’ll put up a few extra photos from Cisco Home in Brentwood. Enjoy!

French architect Antoinette Zalewski @antoinetteza French architect Antoinette Zalewski @antoinettezalewskiarchitecte transformed this St Germain residence from two separate units into a seamless, elevated whole. New parquet floors, restored panelling, a bespoke staircase, and custom rugs. Every detail shaped by skilled French craftsmen and a serene, neutral palette drawn from the colours of Paris itself. ✨

Always nice to be back here.

Why do Paris apartments feel so much better than e Why do Paris apartments feel so much better than everything else?
While living in this cute 3 bed 2 bath apartment in the 6ème, I realized it comes down to a few things done really well:
• High ceilings
They create space without adding anything
• Herringbone wood floors
Classic, subtle, and never go out of style
• Crown molding + ceiling medallions
The detail that quietly elevates the entire room
• Interior French doors
They give you openness and separation at the same time
• Natural light
The one thing you can’t fake
I’m staying in this adorable pied-a-terre for a two months. It is my sister and brother in law’s place; they invited me to cozy up here on my own while they are back home in LA.
Every room keeps proving the same point. It’s not about adding more. It’s about getting the foundation right.
If you could only bring one of these Paris apartment design elements into your home, which one would it be?

It is warmer here now, but these were the looks I It is warmer here now, but these were the looks I reached for in Paris when the days were still cold. ❄️
I remember building each outfit around a coat or a scarf, with comfortable shoes that could take me anywhere, knowing I would be out for hours just walking.
Nothing overthought, just pieces that felt right for the pace of the day.
What would be your OOTD for a cold day in Paris?
If you want to shop these looks, comment SHOP and I will send you the link.

A little softness, a little sheen, and suddenly the room feels lived in and elevated.
Would you bring velvet into your home?
