DINING LIGHT!

bright dining room with wood table, mismatched pastel and colored chairs, wood cabinets and white pendant lights

I thought this little bright cheerful dining room is cute...with its mix of pastel and colored chairs around a trestle wood table.  I like the natural light too.

Cute little dining room for a Friday.

What do you think...like or dislike?  Please weigh in!

Happy Friday!

PERFECTLY PLEASING BEDROOM!

Pastel bedroom with an upholstered headboard, Chevron carpet with a Hermes Birkin on the white tufted bench


I like this room.  Very soothing.  Defintely a place where I could rest...a lot...! Love the Hermes Birkin on the white tufted bench at the foot of the bed too.  I'm normally not a pastel girl...but this room is refreshingly pleasant.  Don't you think?

Happy Tuesday!

P.S.  Best of friend AM and her family are gone.  I miss them.  Was so happy to have spent a week with them...even though I was working all of the time.

P.P.S.  On Saturday night, I went to the best party ever...it was thrown as a birthday party for Kristi Bender of Wendy Schwartz Design.  Kristi's husband threw the party for her.  It was at her fabulous home here in Los Angeles and it was the best party ever!  There was a DJ, great music, a shiny white dance floor in the middle of the privet enclosed backyard, glittering decorations, a special cocktail called the Kristi Bender, a hot dog stand with vegetarian, turkey and custom beef hot dogs, great lighting throughout and all of the french doors of the house were tossed open so guests could enjoy the beautiful outdoor and indoor spaces.  It was spectacular!  I only had my blackberry with me but I tweeted a few photos on COCOCOZY Twitter.  Wish I had taken my camera.  So many great entertaining ideas!  Maybe I can convince Kristi to do a guest post! My friends AG and HW were there and so was Kristi's nice friend CL.  I also ran into Kristi's business partner Wendy Schwartz and her husband...they were so nice to chat with.  Also saw Alexandra and Billy Kimball there and was able to have a quick chat with them too - Alexandra looked quite stylish.  Oh did I mention, Kristi looked fantastic in a dress that a friend of hers made for her... it was gorgeous. Okay...need to get Kristi to do a post on her bday party.  I hope she has pictures.

GUEST POST: LE CATCH DISPATCH ON PASTELS!

Hi, readers! I'm Marlien Rentmeester from LE CATCH, guest posting for Coco.

Today's topic: pastels.

Fashion-wise, they're going to be ubiquitous this spring, from sorbet-colored Proenza Schouler bags to baby blue Chanel nail polish. All the major designers have jumped on board, including Jason Wu, Diane Von Furstenberg and Prada. As it happens, these gorgeous warm colors pictured in the outfit below--burnt orange and lavender--work well in the home as well: that's my family's sitting room pictured above that was featured in Lonny Magazine.

The color combination is counterintuitive, and yet they complement each other, blending together like the shades of an early morning sky. I am looking forward to wearing pastels and even pairing them, head to toe. The key to pulling off the look (both in your home and on your body) is to add in some tough accessories and a dash of black. This will keep things from looking too saccharine sweet. Here is an inspiring pastel combo to try:

Outfit with mint green sweater, pale pink pants, pearl earrings, a yellow purse and T-strap heels with a wooden platform and a yellow center strap

2. Aesa pearl stud earrings, $435, barneys.com
3. Alexander Wang drawstring leather Diego bag, $825, alexanderwang.com
4. Jimmy Choo platform sandals, $875, mytheresa.com
5. River Island pink skinny jeans, $61, riverisland.com

Even though it's just January, I'm so ready for spring. I might just bust out my pastels now to quell my winter blues. I'll let you know how it goes.

COLOR WATCH: A PASSION FOR PASTELS!

Living room in london with a blue velvet sofa, light grey tufted armchairs, two small coffe tables, a modern chandelier and a pink piece of modern art on the wall

There's just something about this pastel hued home that I'm really liking. I came across it in uber photographer Simon Watson's portfolio. When I usually think of pastels in home decor, I think of that shabby chic look or something too frou frou and frilly for me...well this home has changed my view on that!

Lavenders, blues and the palest of pinks in the living room. Then there is a soft sea foam green blue used in the dining room and den. Hmmm...these are definitely pastel colors but read as neutrals in my view.

Modern and sophisticated.  Not a lot of fuss.  Fuss-less is important here I think when using such potentially fussy colors.  Simplicity is key.

What to do you think of this decor ode to pastels?  Like or dislike?  Any of these colors you might use in your home or anything you would absolutely never use?  Do tell!

Happy Tuesday!
