A fabulous house tour with modern and vintage twists...

This is the home of Jess Loraas, a photographer and competitive show jumper, based in Calgary.

I love the clean, simple lines to everything - but it doesn't lack "prettiness" which I also like.

One day I must have a home office as efficient and beautiful as this one. Believe it or not, it's in her guest room...

SO pretty! Crisp, stark bedding keeps focus on the Paris wallpaper, which she had custom printed.


I love seeing oriental rugs with the mid-century modern furniture

*adore* I'm all about large mirrors just leaning against the wall- it creates a posh feeling while still being laid back...

Chic, Glamorous, Gorgeous - Don't miss these two houses

Keeping up with a blog on a daily basis is tough. But when I see pics like these - along with the amazing and kind feedback I get from readers - it keeps me motivated! Enjoy!

These images below feature the handiwork of Lee Kleinhelter from Pieces

GREAT headboard

Some must-reads from Lee

I like the contrast of the sleek white console and the rough natural texture of the cork lamps

Eames and Hermes - you can't go wrong with two timeless classics. Notice how she painted the trim a slightly darker white than the walls?



The home below is from a Lonny Mag staff member, Ellie Somerville

Great wallpaper! Great Rothko too :)





A good use of space here- Ellie made a home office in her bedroom. The desk can also double as a nightstand.

A home with clean Scandinavian design but with personal touches life and travels

Scandinavian decor is a look I seldom dislike, as it follows one of my major decorating mantras, which is to keep your possessions edits to things that are functional and beautiful, and/or sentimental. I thought this home blended my whole decorating philosophy beautifully!

What do you think?
