WEEKEND PHOTO: WHY A PEACOCK ON A MANTEL ACTUALLY WORKS!

January 14, 2012
  • Share

This post as been updated in 2020 with a new feature image:

I don’t see anything wrong in this space.  Not a thing.  I even like the peacock on the fireplace mantel.  I have never thought I would want a peacock on a mantel…but huh who knew….  I once saw an image of a white peacock on a mantel in a white room with black and white flower print by artist Donald Baechler I think behind it.  I liked it then.  That was year ago.  Now this updated photo in this post with this new look for a peacock on a mantel from Consort Design is just fab.   Love the cement tile surround for the fireplace and the grand peacock resting precariously above it in all of her grandeur!  Great style.

Happy Saturday!

This P.S. is from when this was first posted!

P.S.  Am in Atlanta again today!  Woohooo…am running late.  Am headed over to the Christian Mosso Associates Showroom where I show the COCOCOZY textiles collection year around.  I am here for the Atlanta International Gift & Home Furnishings Market.  Buyers are liking the new COCOCOZY offerings and we just sold to another major home furnishings retailer…so it is quite exciting!

P.P.S. I ran into so many great people yesterday and met some wonderful others for the first time…including a wonderful COCOCOZY reader and now new friend named Kari O. from Tennessee who stopped by my area in the showroom to say hi!  Kari was so sweet, she is a designer and a lover of interior design blogs…she says her husband is constantly getting after her for reading blogs and calls it her “design porn”!  She was so nice.  Made my day!  Oh also met the very impressive Wendy Estes, one of the owners of the popular online furniture boutique Layla Grace and their new online store Zinc Door.  Wendy and I talked “shop” for a good 1/2 hour.  It was so interesting to chat with someone who has done so well.  Then I had a fun dinner with the whole Pom Pom Interiors team who sell their ever so successful bedding and linens line at my same showroom – the group included Pom Pom owner Hilde Leighat, her nice son Sam and adorable Jackie – we went to some Atlanta brewery that serves EVERYTHING deep fried including deep friend cheesecake!  Gotta love the South!  🙂

P.P.P.S.  Am super duper late to the show room today…gotta run!  I’ll try to take some photos of all of the amazing products and furniture on sale throughout the show.  Here I come!

P.P.P.P.S.  The New York Gift show is in about two weeks and I all of sudden I decided yesterday that I need to add a day bed to our booth in New York because the new COCOCOZY pillows look so awesome on the day bed here in Atlanta.  Hmmm….what to do?  Must find daybed…hee hee…oh yet another thing to add to the to do list…just a little old day bed…

    I’m good with all of it, even the peacock but I’m not on board with the artwork above the mantel. The proportion and style does not look right. Would have preferred color, with greens to reflect the outdoors through the windows, in response to this very light filled space as well.

    I love the room. A pop of color would be good for my style. I also adore the rug!

    When I saw the subject title of this post I thought, “oh hell no…. not a peacock!” and then I saw the image of this beautiful space! You’re SO right, it’s perfect in every way! Thanks for sharing!

    Oh, that peacock rocks! The restraint color scheme does wonders for the eclectic accessories.

    I like the furniture and love the rug, but the b&w above the fireplace is distracting. A peacock – gorgeous!

    Definitely like… even the peacock! Maybe not forever but sometimes.. he gives a certain wackiness and eccentricity to a fairly straight space… xv

Sage and olive aren’t just a kitchen trend, they’r Sage and olive aren’t just a kitchen trend, they’re a whole-house commitment. The right shade shows up in the cabinets, the walls, the vases, the trim, and somehow never feels like too much.
The spaces that get it right pair it with warm oak, aged brass, and something worn-in: an antique dresser, a vintage runner, a hand-thrown vase.

Heidi Caillier Design took this historic San Francisco home and layered floral wallpaper, striped drapery, checked linens, and antique textiles room after room without a single one feeling overdone. Marble mantels, gilt mirrors, brass fixtures, and warm wood floors do the quiet work of holding it all together.
This is what happens when “more” is chosen on purpose.
Save this for the masterclass in mixing prints. 🔖

A great bathroom isn’t just functional, it’s the one room in the house that’s entirely yours. The stone you choose, the way light hits the fixtures, the tub you actually want to sit in. These are the ones that get it exactly right.

Happy Labor Day! 🇺🇸 Here’s a little throwback toHappy Labor Day! 🇺🇸
Here’s a little throwback to a Labor Day dinner party I hosted a few years ago, and honestly, we’d still do it this way. 🥂✨
Hosting this Labor Day? Keep it simple:
• Set the table with one statement detail + neutral basics
• Choose a menu you can prep ahead so you’re not cooking all night
• Add candles or flowers to make the table feel special
• Serve everything family-style for a more relaxed feel
• Don’t overthink it. The best dinners are the ones where everyone lingers a little longer 🤍
Save this for your next dinner party and send it to someone who’s hosting! 🍽️
