That One Time I Climbed the Same Ladder a Hundred Million Times…in One Day.

Welcome to another post in our spaces series!  If you’d like to see the first post in this series, you can find it HERE.  In this post, I’ll be sharing beautiful pictures of and the story behind The Modern Cozy Place


A QUICK NOTE: If you’re anything like me, learning and growing happens on the go: In between loading the dishwasher, folding laundry and driving to the next appointment. I took the time to create a video of this blog so you can listen on the go and pop in to see photos and resources in the blog post if reading something just doesn’t fit your life right now. I get it and I’m with you! Happy Wholehearted Hosting!


A couple weeks after picking the paint color, I was shopping for wall decor pieces and came across a beautiful piece at Target in the Studio McGee Threshold line.  Would you believe that the green in that piece ended up being the exact green I had on the walls in The Modern Cozy Place?  Wild, I know.  And so that piece became the guidepost for the entire space.  We went with warm, cozy colors...soft, comfortable fabrics and a breezy feel throughout.  It was absolutely perfect. 

The art piece above the dresser, which sit in the master loft, became the inspiration piece for the whole space.

Notice how the paint color accents it perfectly!







When we opened this space up to guests, the reviews said it all.  People loved staying here and I loved sharing it with the world.  

I no longer host The Modern Cozy Place, or any of the spaces in The Modern Marquette.  I will forever be grateful for what I learned and how I grew in this season...for the guests we hosted and the way it ended.  All perfectly timed for everyone’s good. 


Stay tuned for the next post in the spaces series! I’ll share how The Modern Vintage Place took shape.

If you like color and quirky design elements, you’re in for a treat!
