Cocoon Home 2015: A Year In Review

About this time last year I decided to rebrand Cocoon Home.  With uber talented Dabito's help, Cocoon's modern and sophisticated look came to life for its website and collateral.  I couldn't be any happier with the results!  The newness seemed to set the tone for the rest of the year, which by the way, has been our most successful thus far.  Here's a review of some of the most memorable events of 2015.  I cannot wait to see what 2016 brings us.  Thank you so much for coming along with me on this incredible journey! 

Our newly renovated kitchen got lots of attention after being included in the Lafayette Juniors Kitchen tour last summer and being featured on Houzz.com multiple times last year.  Not only was our renovation on Houzz's kitchen of the week, but it made the top 8 most popular kitchens of 2015 [!!]  Thanks, Houzz!

Cocoon Home wrapped up its Beacon Hill project with a Prism Award and a beautiful spread in Design New England magazine.  Sweet!!

Cocoon reconnected with its very first client while taking on many new ones.  Each project very different from the next, but equally rewarding and impactful.  

Lastly, after a year of researching materials, manufacturers and designs, the Cass Clutch, a vintage inspired handbag, is ready to debut in 2016!   Stay tuned for more information on how to reserve your very own!

Looking forward to the future, feeling grateful for the past while living fully in the present.  Doesn't get better than that, folks...  
Happy 2016, everyone!!

PRESS: Cocoon Home Featured In Design New England Magazine

Holy moly, I'm so I excited about this!!  A full magazine feature in Design New England on Cocoon Home's #beaconhillchd project!  Over the summer, I spent time in Boston putting the final touches on the space in preparation for a photo shoot with renowned photographer Eric Roth.  The photos were submitted to the magazine and accepted for a feature in their November/December issue.  I couldn't be any prouder!  I haven't seen the actual magazine yet,  these images were texted to me by a dear friend in Massachusetts.  I'm working on getting some copies of my own, but if any of my Bean Town friends happen upon any, please send them to me.  You can read the full article here. 

Many thanks to MV for sharing the images with me.  That was very thoughtful of you!
