P.S.  PRESS ALERT - Was so cool to see the Style.com feature of COCOCOZY for Tommy Hilfiger pillows on their review of Surf Shack - a capsule collection for summer that includes cool surf inspired clothing, amazing artist designed surfboards and my own COCOCOZY pillows!  Wooohooo.  If you haven't been to Style.com...it is one of the top fashion websites and it is owned by Conde Nast (the people who make Vogue magazine and Women's Wear Daily).  Thank you Amy Robb over at Tommy for sharing this with me!  See the page on Style.com below!

P.P.S. On Friday, had a lovely dinner with TE, his sweet sister-in-law and brother SE and ME on Friday. ME and SE were visiting from out of town...they had just gone to the American Idol finale and party the night before. On Friday, we all went to Mozza at about 8:30pm and didn't leave until almost midnight. Lots of good food and laughs!

P.P.P.S. Flowers from TE. He brought them over on Saturday with a bottle of champagne before we went out to dinner! He's a very nice guy I think. #like

Lovely flowers! (above)

WEEKEND PHOTO

Hope you have a happy restful weekend!

This bedroom is simple bliss.  A striped bed spread, diaphanous white drapes, a decorative mirror, pitched ceilings with exposed beams, lots of light and that is it.

I like.

COCOCOZY FOR TOMMY HILFIGER - SURF SHACK PART 1

COCOCOZY for Tommy Hilfiger is in stores!  Woohooo!

Am thrilled, thrilled, thrilled to announce today a partnership I've been working on since the fall.  COCOCOZY and Tommy Hilfiger!

This summer two special edition COCOCOZY pillows will be in Tommy Hilfiger stores around the world and online as part of Tommy Hilfiger's Surf Shack capsule collection - a really cute array of summer clothing for men and women!

You might ask..."Coco...how did this all come about?"  Unlike most (smart) people who keep everything close to the vest...I, of course, will share details.

Sooooooo....was approached by the very stylish Amie Robinson, Director of Research and Development for Tommy Hilfiger, last summer about possibly working with their brand on a small collection of pillows.  I chatted with Amie and her super cool boss Trent Wisehart, Creative Director North America and EVP of Global Creative Services for Tommy (have a secret professional design crush on Trent...now not a secret I guess...hmmmm...) for a bit about what we might do together.  Then fab Tommy Hilfiger VP of Marketing Jann Parrish was brought in to finalize plans.  Before I knew it, by December 2012 we were in business!

More details in later posts on how we made 500 pillows in a few months and got them off to the Tommy team!  (Hats off to COCOCOZY VP of Operations CM for coordinating getting all of the pillows out of the door)

So today, Tommy Hilfiger has launched its Surf Shack collection - a capsule collection of bright cool surf inspired clothing...and two COCOCOZY pillows are in the mix.  We color coordinated our pillows with their collection.

Yesterday, I went into the West Hollywood Tommy Hilfiger store and took a million and half pictures. Courtney the store manager was so nice and I even ended up buying a cute Surf Shack white jacket and sparkle mint green t-shirt from sales associate Tiffany.

A true thrill to see our pillows in store!

Here is our COCOCOZY Vent pillow in cotton in Tommy Hilfiger colors!

I will do another post next week on the making of COCOCOZY for Tommy Hilfiger pillows.  I will also share my favorites from the Surf Shack collection over the next few weeks!  Later, will also share with you the second pillow we did for Tommy.

If you are near a Tommy Hilfiger store, please go in and check everything out.  If you get a pillow, shoot me a photo of it in your home and I'll put it up on the blog!

Happy happy Thursday!

FOUR DESIGN IDEAS FOR A SMALL HOME

Idea #1  - Incorporate a sectional sofa instead of a sofa and separate chairs n a living room...this cuts down on the visual clutter but provides extra seating. (above)

I like this little 700 square foot bungalow.  Such a great use of square footage.  Good ideas for those of us who live in a small space!

Idea #2 - Never get rid of built ins - refurbish existing built in cabinets or build new ones...they are great space savers  for storage and can look good too! (above)

Idea #3 - Add in floating wall shelves - floating shelves are great for storage as shown here in this small home office (above)

Idea #4 - Don't be afraid to use color  - This color blocked small kitchen with black floor and counters, white cabinets and red accent wall and door actually make this tiny space quite cheerful! (above)

What do you think of these tips?  Any you might use in one of your smaller rooms?  Any ideas you can share?

Happy Wednesday!

P.S.  I'm still working on that COCOCOZY partnership announcement I mentioned. So excited to share with you my latest collaboration.

P.P.S.  Last night, TE and I went to a party for Nylon Magazine.  There was a dinner in honor of the magazine's Young Hollywood Edition.  Spent the evening chit chatting with lots of cute adorable young Hollywood types. Dinner was followed by a fantastic party at the Roosevelt Hotel.  Thanks to KA and TH for inviting us!  So much fun.

TREND ALERT - WOOD KITCHEN CABINETS

This is what wood kitchen cabinets look like today.  Gone are the stained cherry, oak, mahogany carved or raised cabinet door fronts of old.  The new look for wood cabinets is a modern rustic raw wood look.

Non glossy finishes, real wood tones and colors highlighted.  The reclaimed wood look is in.  So is the modern country look with wood paneled door fronts.

You remember what those stained wood cabinets looked like in the past?  What do you think of this updated look of kitchen cabinets?

I like the first kitchen with the bead board like paneled cabinets.  Which is your favorite (if any)?

Happy Tuesday!

P.S.  Forgot to mention, had a fun night the other night at a party for Domaine Home at chic fabric showroom Harbinger here in Los Angeles.  I brought TE with me and met up with CM who runs all things operations at COCOCOZY.  Have a connection to both Harbinger and Domaine.   The COCOCOZY fabric line is carried by Harbinger and COCOCOZY is featured on the bottom of Domaine.  Ran into the fabulous interior designer Joe Lucas who owns Harbinger, Mat Sanders Editor extraordinaire of Domaine, Nicole Gibbons of So Haute and Christian May of Maison 21 blogs so many nice others (like Typhanie Peterson).  Was a fun evening.  Also got to show off the COCOCOZY fabric collection to TE as our line is carried by Harbinger! It was lots of fun.  We ended up at some party for Veranda where there were two people in leotards doing interpretive moves and acrobatics.  Very interesting indeed!

P.P.S.  Big partnership announcement for COCOCOZY tomorrow.  Stay tuned.  So excited to tell you all.

P.P.P.S.  My favorite foyer from yesterday is the first...keeping it simple! FYI!
