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...

A REALLY gorgeous house tour - a mix of haute and rustic

This is American designer James Huniford's Hamptons retreat. I love it-'nough said.




This is a rare example of a stark room that still manages to be warm


Love the clipboards as a way to display art

This dining room is simply dreamy - the bench...the table...the art



What do you think?

Beautiful Living : Minimalist Style

Are you a Minimalist? According to Wikipedia, minimalism describes a movement where "work is stripped down to its most fundamental features ... it is rooted in the reductive aspects of Modernism, and is often interpreted as a reaction against abstract impressionism and a bridge to Postmodern art practices." Strip it down to the fundamentals. Hide the clutter.

This Japanese style room is gorgeous and I am a huge fan of

plush cushions on the floor.

Notice all the geometric shapes the furniture makes in this room. The sofa, chair, and table form a square on the rug.

The green and orange colors are fun in this room!

The color scheme is even continued on the ceiling.

I have always been a fan of all white interiors and this one is no exception.

House Tour - Kelly Klein's very zen home

An oldie but a goodie for you. Back in 2007 Elle Decor featured a home belonging to Kelly Klein - photographer and ex-wife to Calvin. She lives in the midst of Florida's horse country and her home is adorned in beautiful horse photographs

This is my favorite shot of her home - sans the cowhide

An aussie - just like my Cody and Mom and Dad's Remi

That tub looks comfy

The sparseness of this room is so refreshing!













I'd love a trunk like this
