BEAUTIFUL B&W BATH

Black and white bathroom with square tiles and a French door

Now this is an adorable white and black bathroom I think...with just the right touches.  Inspiration for my dream bath for sure.

White square tiles on the walls and wet surfaces...a cute small discreet black square tile detail acting as trim of sorts...neatly giving this white bathroom a hint of character. A place to repose...relax...dress...primp...preen...soak...in style.  Doesn't hurt to have the wonderful french door leading out onto the balcony too.  Nice.  Really nice.

MIRROR MAGIC - CHEAP TO CHIC

Small bathroom with black and white cement tiles, arched paneled walls and a simple wash basin sink and arched mirror

Love this little bath designed by Jessica Helgerson.  The black and white cement tiles, the arched detail in the paneled walls, the simple wash basin sink, and the mirror!

I love the arched gold mirror above the bathroom sink. So elegant and simple.

This one inspired me to bring back CHEAP TO CHIC as I went in search of the perfect bathroom mirror.

P.S.  Had a great dinner last night with best of friend AT who is visiting from London...she brought along the very sweet VP who I worked with years ago.  We went to the Soho House.  Had such a great time.  Our evening ended up in a full blown photo shoot inside the photo booth on our way out.  The photo booth is there for people to take just a few photos with their friends to commemorate a night out.  We took about 30.  We couldn't quite get our pose right!

A BATH MADE FOR HER

Girly bathroom with white marble floor, stand alone bathtub, Trellis wallpaper, vanity with a lucite chair under an oval window

Had a wonderful whirlwind weekend in San Francisco with TE.  Saw friends (JO & TO), family (my sweet cousins ES & MS), dined, walked, threatened to jump on a trolley car, took a million photos (will share those later) and went to a San Francisco 49ers football game (TE's favorite team...they won).  After a late night dinner at the legendary Zuni Cafe.  Had to get on a early flight back to Los Angeles for work this morning - working at the beach if you can believe it.  Hard hard life?  Right?

Anyhoo, after the hustle and bustle of the weekend...I could use some down time in a lovely girly bathroom like this.  A long soak in the tub just relaxing.  I like this white marble bath with the stand alone tub,  Imperial Trellis wallpaper and the lovely vanity under the oval window with the lucite chair.  Feminine...made for a girl I think...guys I am sure would enjoy it too.

ALL WASHED UP - FLOOR TO CEILING BATHROOM TILE - THIS OR THAT

Black and white marble floor to ceiling bathroom tile and a small robot

 Who doesn't love a bathroom bathed in tile?  If you are out there, raise your hand.  I'd like to hear why not.  Don't be shy.  You might have good reason.  For me, if done right, a fully tiled bath can be quite beautiful.

I love the idea of making a dramatic design statement with tile.  Covering a bath area in tile from floor to ceiling.  Creating a room with a uniform interesting surface.  The look can make any bath feel like one big wet room.  I like.

Okay...here are two baths...fully tiled from head to toe...which of these two looks do you like better?  The bold and brash black and white marble tile bath above OR the showering room with arched ceiling, white porcelain tile with dark black grout?  Yoohooo...which one?

I think I would pick the first bath...much to even my surprise.  I think it would be cool to do one smaller bathroom in this look.

Which do you like best?  Do tell in the comments below!

Happy Monday!

P.S.  Am in NYC for a few days.  Visiting with best of friend AM and her hubby JE and their kids.  AM, her kids, her friend AHC and I drove out to the Hamptons this weekend - JE had to stay behind to work.  Of course was a thrill to get to spend time with AM...and also have known AHC for years and enjoyed road tripping out the Hamptons with him too.  AM, her family and AHC have rented a barn house in Watermill for the summer.  A rickety cool old house filled with vintage farm themed  collectibles.  It is kind of cool and very spooky at the same time.  Anyhooo...I took this photo below through some vintage pressed metal item hanging on the window overlooking the pool.  That is AM in silhouette!  I'll post a few more photos of the house itself on COCOCOZY Instagram...so make sure to follow me on Instagram @COCOCOZY!

P.P.S. Today among other things I plan on stopping by the NY Now trade show.  I have a few collections of COCOCOZY home furnishings showing there including my new line of embroidered COCOCOZY Pillows and COCOCOZY Bedding.  So excited to see my designs on display!

P.P.P.S. I got a press pass this time for the NY Now trade show so I could freely take photos of cool market items I find to share with you!  Here is the bad news...my Canon Elph broke over the weekend!  I took it to the beach with AHC one day...left it face down in the sand while watching him take an afternoon swim and now it doesn't work....ARRRRRGGGHHHHH!  Once again...a critical moment in my life as a blogger and I don't have a camera!  Oy va voy va voy.

P.P.P.P.S.  Am looking forward to seeing some cool things at market ...even though I do not have a camera.  Especially love stopping by the Made Goods booth at these shows.  They make so many cool furniture pieces and home accessories.  I saw these cute boxes covered in tribal cloth from the Philippines in Atlanta...love them...hope to see more from the Made Goods guys today!

FEARLESS HOME DECOR

An all hot pink living room! (above)

Fearless home decorating...would you be able to take the plunge and dive right in and decorate rooms like this?  Makes an incredibly powerful statement...rather playful and fun too.  But could you actually imagine daring yourself to design without fear.

A hot pink living room,  A bathroom bathed in black and white even in the sink bowl basin.

"Wow" is all I can say!

Very eye catching (an understatement really).  A little scary to actually imagine taking design risks like these.  Could you do it?

Are you design daring?  Could you do it?  Please weigh in on comments below.

I wish I had 4 houses.  In one of those houses, I would definitely be fearless (have the decor outlined for the other 3 already!).  As of right now, I simply have one very tiny cottage in the Hollywood Hills...so cannot completely put fears aside...but I can dream.  I would do the black and white bathroom.  Would leave the hot pink living room for my best of friend AM!

Happy Saturday!

TASTE TEST CELEBRITY CHEF'S KITCHEN & BATH

 Bobby Flay celebrity bathroom Moroccan cement tile floor modern tub glass shower

This is celebrity chef Bobby Flay's kitchen and bath in his Hamptons home.  Two rooms...two very different styles.

Small bits of his summer home are featured on Elle Decor's website.  I chose two rooms with a bit of bold design to show you.

I was immediately attracted to the cement Moroccan tiles on the master bath floor.  Daring, whimsical and pretty I think.

Then there is the turquoise kitchen with a gray slate backsplash.  Not a room for the shy in decorating at all!  A cheerful conversation piece room for sure.

What do you think of either of these rooms?  Like or dislike?  What inspiration would you dare to take away from these spaces.  I want cement tile floors for sure in my bath...you?

Happy Tuesday!

BATHROOM MIRRORS LOOKING GOOD

black carved arch mirror bath bathroom sink vanity basin subway tile Nbaynadamas

I like a nice framed mirror above a bathroom sink.  An easy way to update a bathroom and change the look.    Lots of great unique mirror options means you can customize your bath decor without too much hassle.  I would opt for a framed mirror over the frameless hardware store version. Do you agree?

Okay, my faves above are the simple round mirrors and the Moroccan style mirror.  Any you like?  Do tell!

WORKSTEAD DESIGN!

black and white Moroccan tiles in a bathroom with a platform tub by Workstead
Moroccan type mosaic tiles in cream and black. (above)

I like the work of Brooklyn based design collective, Workstead.  Something very earthy, raw yet modern and eclectic about their aesthetic.  A blend of nostalgia and new.  Very cool.

Love the black and cream tile in the bath above.  I adore the decorative wall molding in the living room below.  I am picking out the wall molding for my bedroom today.  Was going to just do what I had before...large squares and rectangles...but loving the etched rectangle wall molding shown below.  Hmmm...considering.

Subtle detail added to the kitchen cabinets in the form of custom L shaped wood door handles. (above and below)

Is this your style?  What do you think of Workstead's work?

P.S.  Multi million dollar answer - Yesterday, most of you answered correctly on the post about the two multi million dollar apartments.  The Tribeca loft is a mere $15.8 million...while the 5th Ave/62nd apartment is over $19 million!

P.P.S.  Stopped by my little tiny cottage in the Hollywood Hills over the weekend with TE.  The wood floors are in!  Not stained yet...but they have been laid!  So excited....

P.P.P.S.   Spent 2.5 hours of my life watching the Bachelor last night.  Have lost brain cells.  Will spend day trying to figure out how to rejuvenate those cells lost.  Uhhhhhhhh....duhhhhhhh....uhhhhhh....

P.P.P.P.S.  COCOCOZY GIVEAWAY - Tomorrow, I'm doing a giveaway!  Don't know what we're giving away yet...but it will be something good from the COCOCOZY Collection!  Stay tuned for details!
