simple, beautiful, inspired by nature

ABOUT

My formal training was working alongside, Alta Tingle, my mentor and friend for over 10 years at The Gardener. We sourced home and garden furnishings from around the world. Her unique vision of blending indoors with the outdoors has become part of my being. In her words, “our aesthetic encompasses inside and outside and everything in between.”

Cot in Old English means cottage or a dwelling for a simple life. I’m passionate about creating homes and gardens that are guided by a sense of simplicity, inspired by nature and a love for lasting family gatherings and traditions.

INSPRIRATION

Art & Life

Photography was my first love when I studied art in Pasadena. Framing a family photo is magic.

Home

Getting started; the beginning is always paring down. Clarity of space and possessions is a great step. I can work with you in the capacity, time and comfort level you are happiest with.

Garden and Poolside

Whether you need a fall clean up or a complete installation I can help. Lasting solutions for your garden is what I strive for. Any garden space which is alive and growing takes maintenance and care, When there is a solid design with well chosen plants it can be made most efficient, manageable and beautiful.

Holiday Design

Celebrating holidays and birthdays is such a perfect way to create special memories and traditions. There are so many ways to accent your home and garden for these moments.

Seasonal Design

New Englanders embrace every season more than any city I've lived around the world. We really love our beaches and pumpkins along with our brisk, snowy winter days. Celebrate every season with a simple candle or an entire array of containers and lights. Have fun!

My lifestyle is incorporated into my home and garden design. Everything I love is in my surroundings with a cohesive blend of old and new, simple and quirky to fit my life. Everything works once the structure is established.
