Narrative:

I noticed smoke billowing from the area around the lavatory door and jump seats. I told the captain 'we have smoke.' we donned our oxygen mask and smoke goggles. The captain took control of the aircraft and I declared an emergency and requested an emergency descent direct to the airport. ARTCC directed a descent to 15000 ft direct to our divert airport. The cockpit was filling with smoke as we began our descent and I started to run the smoke; fumes or fire checklist. We were handed off to approach; they directed us to descend to 6000 ft and cleared for the approach to runway 10L. The captain called for the approach checklist. I stopped the emergency checklist; set up for the to ILS approach to 10L and ran the approach checklist. The smoke began to dissipate around 13000 ft. We continued the approach; ran the landing checklist; and landed on 10L. We taxied cleared at the end of 10L and had the emergency crew look us over. They reported no signs of smoke or fire. The smoke in the cockpit had totally dissipated at this time; so we taxied to the ramp and performed a normal shut down and secure checklist.
