$23 MILLION DOLLAR MALIBU OCEAN VIEW - SEE THIS HOUSE

Living room in a Malibu villa with an ocean view

Ocean views...never really thought of them much...but this weekend I drove with TE and his son EE down to Palos Verdes and we saw some spectacular Pacific Ocean views.  Breathtaking really.

So what is an ocean view worth...?

For 6 bedrooms, 8.5 baths in 7,624 square feet of ocean front home right in Malibu...does $23,750,000 sound about right?  This self proclaimed "European style villa" was built in 1998.  It is located on Point Dume and features panoramic ocean views on 1.29 acres of land.  The home is listed by Sotheby's.

A gourmet kitchen, imported French limestone in some of the rooms, hardwood floors in others, a gourmet kitchen, a master suite has its own private balcony and a pool.

This is probably what it looks like from this water front mansion today as it is classically wonderful weather in Southern California on this second day of the new year.

So would you take it or leave it? Take a tour...

Let's see...if I had $23.75 million to spare...or if someone wanted to gift it to me...I would take it!

Happy Thursday!  Happy New Year!

$24 MILLION DOLLAR MALIBU ESTATE - SEE THIS HOUSE

31134 Broad Beach ocean view brick patio malibu california real estate listing

East comes west with this home listed for sale on Broad Beach in Malibu - a bit of a Cape Cod feel right in a million dollar California neighborhood.  So, did you know that it costs $24 million dollars for a 4,889 square foot home right on the water on one of the most coveted beaches on the West Coast?

31134 Broad Beach Road was built in 1958 and designed by architect Gerard Colcord. This real estate listing from Prichett Rapf Realtors, features 4 bedrooms, 5.5 baths, 3 car garage, several outdoor living areas and 100 feet of beach front. The living room has hand hewn oak floors and the rustic country kitchen has a fireplace, copper sink, breakfast/dining area, and opens to an outdoor covered patio.  The home is gated.

Don't know whether the Cape Cod eclectic style is up my alley but the views certainly are!  Take a look.

So what do you think of this multi million dollar listing?  Would you take it or leave it?  Even if it is not your style, could you work with it?

I would take it and then revamp.  Oh did I mention the listing price includes all of the furniture!  Hmmm...I think I would negotiate the furniture out of the deal...get rid of the wall to wall carpeting in the bedrooms and start from scratch with the decor.  I might however keep the brick floors in the kitchen.  Hmmm...what do you think?

Happy first day of July!  Happy Monday!

P.S.  It was a gorgeous very hot weekend here in Los Angeles.  I spent a lot of time in Santa Monica at dear friends BN and SN's family beach house right on water - I was there both days...a little work lots of nice catching up with them and all their cuties.  Will share a photo of their very cool beach home that has an amazing eclectic international well traveled vibe maybe tomorrow here on the blog.  Anyhooo...on Saturday night, I captured this lovely sky just after sunset at my little tiny cottage in the Hollywood Hills.  It was a gorgeous night!

P.P.S. As I write this blog post early this morning, it just started to rain outside!  What in the world?  Global warming.

P.P.P.S.  My favorite grammatically incorrect quote from last week is as follows "I is what is I is and I'm not changin'".  Makes me chuckle.  Do you know who said it? :-)

P.P.P.P.S.  Dropped off my mom at the airport on Saturday!  She is in Paris for the summer!  What a nice life.

P.P.P.P.P.S. Making last minute plans to go to Atlanta market in two weeks.  We are launching new COCOCOZY product and I have to be there!  Can't wait.  Will give you all details so you can stop by and say hi!

SEE THIS HOUSE - $6 MILLION DOLLAR MALIBU OCEAN VIEWS FROM UP HIGH!

Interior Malibu canyon home real estate listing exposed beams pitched ceilings white decor furnishings California
Newly built Malibu canyon home for sale with an all white interior and lots of natural light (above)
A lofty real estate listing! Nearly $6 million dollars for this 2 bedroom, 2.5 bath Malibu canyon home.

The property is listed by Irene Dazzan-Palmer of Coldwell Banker Previews.  It is 6,200 square feet of home, sitting on around 4 acres of land.  Features both ocean and hillside views. 15 foot ceilings with exposed beams, hand scraped wood oak floors, a chef's kitchen with Wolf appliances and custom ash wood cabinetry. A state of the art surveillance system is included.

My kind of home actually. Something sort of modern and rustic about the home if that is possible. I think the pitched loft like exposed ceilings have something to do with the rustic part.

The best of both worlds...a spectacular ocean view from high up in the hills. Now just need to find $5,999,995 to pay for it. Anyone have any ideas? Anyone?

What do you think of this Malibu retreat?  Like or dislike?  What might you add to the home decor?  I might add a COCOCOZY rug or two actually!

Happy Thursday!

P.S. So bummed that I didn't get a chance to sign up for a fab art auction that is going on today. Art consultant and good friend Samantha Nugent has a piece in today's Wright's "Living Contemporary Auction". I was traveling back from market and didn't get a chance to view everything until late yesterday...I've never bid in an art auction online and if I had signed up yesterday I could have.  Awhile back I was into collecting art from emerging artists here in Los Angeles. Browsing through this online auction has got me thinking about art again!  Thank you Samantha for sharing this with me!  Anyhooo...here's the piece Samantha has up for auction today. Love it - literally and figuratively speaking!

EXCLUSIVE DESIGN SNEAK PEEK INSIDE A MALIBU HILLS HOME!

Todd Nickey and Amy Kehoe of Nickey Kehoe's living room in their Malibu home featured in House Beautiful

An exclusive from the pages of next month's House Beautiful! Woo hoo!  Love when I get a sneak peek on home that is about to be published.

A Malibu Hills ranch style home newly fashioned by Los Angeles interior design team Todd Nickey and Amy Kehoe of Nickey Kehoe.

Eclectic in Malibu is how I would describe the aesthetic.

In lieu of a traditional chandelier, the living room features a huge red metal mobile by artist Stephen Oakes, poufs covered in Suzani fabric, decorative pillows made of vintage kimono sashes, a "Pollock-esque"wool and silk rug and mid century modern inspired furniture.

In the breakfast nook, a narrow modern rustic table with benches with a bright green embroidered Mexican cloth acting as a table runner.

And perhaps my favorite - the "love" spray painted above the bed in the master bedroom...initially a place holder for just the right piece of art...but now has become a signature decorative statement.

In the master bedroom, "love" is spray painted in blue over the bed and sets the tone for a varied mix of textures and styles. I love the hide rug too. (above)

The House Beautiful article is actually about the use of color in this home. I chose pictures of the more neutral rooms...but if you read the entire article which is on newsstands next week, you'll see an electric blue formal dining room, a bright green kitchen, a yellow and purple family room den and much more.

Follow along on COCOCOZY Pinterest and COCOCOZY Instagram to preview some of the more colorful rooms in this home!

Thank you Sonia and House Beautiful for the first look!

Happy Friday!

P.S. Feeling the need to do a COCOCOZY giveaway next week...sharing the love during Valentine's week. I'll give away something in the COCOCOZY shop...but I don't know what yet. Hmmm...thinking... Browse the shop and let me know if you have any suggestions????

P.P.S.  Thank you to Sarah from Chevron & Stripes blog for featuring COCOCOZY Cane Throws as a stylish and functional necessity for winter storms!

SEE THIS HOUSE: WHAT $50 MILLION DOLLARS BUYS YOU IN MALIBU!


Located on prestigious Carbon Beach in Malibu right on Pacific Coast Highway, this 9 bedroom, 13 bathroom home boasts over 150 feet of gorgeous California beach frontage.  Prime real estate I would say. 10,317 square feet of prime real estate to be exact.

Oh did I mention the $50 million dollar price tag for this house (or should I say estate...or mansion...what does one call a larger than life beach house...?)? Hilton & Hyland has this multi million dollar real estate listing!  Let's see...the house was designed by architect Michael Graves and I found reports that say a guy who once ran Yahoo is selling it (Terry Semel is his name I think).

Here's how the home is described on the property website:

"The home is composed of three pavilions and is a blend of contemporary and traditional architecture, portraying both the feeling of Modernism and Classicism.  You are swept into the heart of the living space by the expansive ocean view. Twelve foot ceilings encase a bank of French doors leading to a signature covered outdoor veranda with columns reminiscent of a contemporary southern plantation. The master bedroom is bathed in sunlight from both the French doors that front the ocean, and the 6 part gridded circular window that comprises most of the north wall of the room. Dual baths and closets complete the master suite. The architect says his vision was to present a home that was “cool and open with the presence of water."

Take a look at what a mere $50 million will buy you in Malibu....!

So, what do you think of the architecture of this home...love it, hate it?  If you had $500 million in the bank, would you spend $50 million on this beach house?  Please weigh in the comments below!

Happy Monday!

P.S.  This week, I'll be bringing you an exclusive look inside the living area of a darling Spanish style home here in Los Angeles.  So excited to share with you this simply elegant space...am thrilled that the homeowner and friend SN chose to include COCOCOZY pillows in her living room too!  Here's a sneak peek at that post for later in the week.

P.P.S. COCOCOZY NEW COLLECTION - I finally received the samples for the new collection I am working on...so very excited! AG and TG came by COCOCOZY HQ on Saturday and saw the beginning swatches for this new collection. Okay...I think I will bury yet another big COCOCOZY story in the P.S. section only because I can never hold anything in long enough for a big reveal. Okay...so on Friday, I got my first samples of the COCOCOZY bedding collection! In January 2013, I'll be debuting a collection of complete bedding - COCOCOZY duvets, shams, sheets and more! I am so excited. I had some linen shams and boudoir pillows in the original COCOCOZY collection...they were extremely high end and I think far too luxury for everyday people like you and me (would be good for the $50 million dollar beach house people though). So I was fortunate enough to be approached by a wonderful company who is now manufacturing a full top of bed collection for COCOCOZY. Woot woot. Woohoo. Yippeeee!!! We've been working on the project for almost a year. The samples are looking good overall. Need to still work on the colors in one of the collections but so far so good. I'll write a real post on COCOCOZY bedding soon.

P.P.P.S. Remember to follow COCOCOZY on Bloglovin'!

P.P.P.P.S. VOTE - Remember to vote tomorrow!  I have been obsessed with presidential election polls over the last few weeks - is that geeky? Another question re: election geekiness.  Am one of those people who loves going to the polls to vote and then I wear my sticker around all day that says "I voted". Is that geeky or patriotic? Or is it patriotic geeky?  Either way I am proud to vote and if I am deemed a geek because I am constantly checking the polls, then I am proud of that too!  An interior design addicted, election obsessed, leading a double life, voting girl.  That's me!  Anyhoooo....vote, vote, vote!

WHAT'S NEW IS OLD - A MALIBU BEACH RETREAT!

Encasement doors open to show off the ocean view
Encasement doors are flung open to show off this Malibu home's ocean view! (above)

A Malibu house...with ocean views...right on the famous Broad Beach.  A new home built to look old!  Owned and built by antiques afficianado Richard Shapiro, the home is a juxtaposition between old and new... from the purposefully chipped sandstone floors, to the buffed plastered walls, to the floor to ceiling encasement windows, to the modern swooping steel balustrade, this villa on the ocean is meant to look as if it was plucked out of ancient ruins with some very modern touches!

What do you think of this Malibu home? Does the combo of old looking and modern work for you? I happen to adore the courtyard and all of the steel windows and doors!

What do you like?

P.S. Sis DS is traveling right now (lucky her).  She texted in this photo from Morocco this morning. DS and my mother are touring Medina today and were in Casablanca yesterday.  So cool!  This photo below is a screen...one that allows women to see out but keeps them hidden from men! So interesting!

P.P.S.  Have today off from my real job...so will be spending the day catching up on all things COCOCOZY!  Looking forward to a little time to get everything in order before I start traveling for the summer.

P.P.P.S.  Oh, did I mention, I'll be in Atlanta next week for the Atlanta International Gift and Home Furnishings Mart.  Will be showing the COCOCOZY textiles collection at the Christian Mosso Associates Showroom again in Building 1 of the Merchandise Mart on the 9th Floor. Please stop by if you are going to be in Atlanta next week!

P.P.P.S.  Also, if you'll be in New York in the middle of August you can catch up with me at the New York International Gift Fair...come by there and say hi and see the collection.  This will be my 4th time doing the New York show.  I get so nervous and excited about going.  I totally stress out trying to remember all of he details.  Oy va voy...got to hop on it!  Keeping fingers crossed that I'll have a big COCOCOZY related announcement in New York in August...trying to get things in order.

P.P.P.P.S.  Hope you are enjoying July so far! :-)

SEE THIS HOUSE: A $45 MILLION DOLLAR MALIBU MEDITERRANEAN MANSE!

living room with hard wood floor, white dueling sofas and armchairs, a large area rug, a fireplace and a large mirror on the mantel with a view of the second level and the ocean

What has its own beach, sits on 6.6 acres of land, has 11,313 square feet of interior space, 7 bedrooms, 8.5 baths, a tennis court, pool, guest house, two offices a theater and so much more? Well it is this Mediterranean villa on Paradise Cove Bluffs in Malibu, California. Oh did I mention the price tag of $45 million!

This beach home is listed by Coldwell Bankers Preview. It was built originally in 1975.

Need to think about whether if given to me I would take...hmmm...let's consider together...here's a look!

P.S.  My aunt MA in Boston recently sent me these gorgeous vintage Christofle silver champagne coupes that I suppose would be wonderful for serving dessert as well. I love them.  Now I must do some entertaining to use them! Thank you MA!

P.P.S. Had a great dinner at Cafe Stella in Silverlake last night. Wonderful French cafe. Was with AG, KD and AT. We had a great time. Evening ended with me and KD dancing at the valet stand because when we arrived there to get our cars...there was no valet but there was a Madonna album blasting at the valet station...only in L.A. ...so we danced...making lemonade out of lemons I guess!!
