The Coco Behind Cocobee Home
Colette Marcellene Ether (Coco)
Principal Designer of Form + Function
Colette is a self-taught interior designer with over a decade of experience across interior design, home building, luxury household management, and real estate.
What sets her apart is not just what she knows. It is how she came to know it. Growing up, Coco spent her weekends on construction sites with her father, a skilled craftsman, carpenter, and home builder, absorbing the language of how homes are built long before she ever had the words for it.
At home, she was glued to Martha Stewart, This Old House, and The New Yankee Workshop, poring over her parents' copies of Architectural Digest and House Beautiful. She fell in love with the work of Frank Lloyd Wright and William Morris.
For her fifth-grade science fair, she built a miniature house and decorated every room.
She did not win. It was a science fair.
She did earn an honorable mention for creativity and independent thinking, which, looking back, is a pretty accurate preview of everything that followed.
A career that took Coco through operations and project management, and residential real estate where design was woven into every listing she touched.
She helped homeowners get top dollar by combining her design eye, market knowledge, and project management skills to coordinate everything from staging and styling to mini renovations, making every listing shine.
In 2024, she made it official, and Cocobee Home was born.
Luxury, to Coco, has never been about having more. It is about living better in the spaces you already have and the ones you are building.
