Home Catalog 006: Founder stories, reviews and new brand launches

Home Catalog 006. Whether it’s a big item like a sofa or something smaller like a candle or some wall art, the brands we share our spaces with are a big part of the makeup of our homes. And when you want to make a new purchase, you should feel it’s the best thing for you. Not just what’s considered the best.

And today we’re launching two new features to help you find the brands/products that best fit with you and your home:

1. Our Behind the Brand interview series is live. This series takes you behind-the-scenes with founders to help you understand the story and mission behind each brand on Cozy. We've started out with four stories featuring the founders of Sabai, Windmill, Fernish and Siblings. (More coming soon).

2. Between Netflix binges yesterday (I just finished Ozark season 3 — and wow, *that ending*), I wrapped up adding reviews to each brand profile. I would love Cozy to be a place you can come to make careful, considered decisions about the products and brands you want to share your home with and reviews feel like a big part of that. To add a review:

1. Head to the brand directory
2. Search for a brand (Tip: Type the brand name in the search bar to find it quickly)
3. Click 'Write Review' at the bottom of the profile

Thanks so much!

P.S. If you could leave a review for one brand that will impact your day at home today (if you're like me that'll be your sofa and cookware... Sunday's are the best, aren't they?) that would be an incredibly valuable addition to Cozy and this community. And selfishly, it'll really make my day to see this new feature in action. 🙏

NYT // Excerpt: "But when I imagine entertaining — having people inside my house and telling them things, listening as they tell me things, conversation, I believe it’s called, taking care of their needs, impressing them, getting jokes, making jokes, saying stuff like, “Wow, are these … ice cubes?” — it seems to involve more financial and emotional security than I plan on being able to project, well, possibly ever again."
