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...

Where We Blog - Home Office / Favorite Cozy Spot
I really love this "Where We Blog" series! Not only is it fun to get a peek into where you blog, but it has introduced me to some wonderful NEW people and blogs to follow. Please send me your photo if you have not done so already! Today we get to peek into the home of Beatriz of That Girl in Pearls. She has a striking room with a deep, rich wall color
- a handsome wooden mirror (I will add this to my mirror collection)
- and a cool deer wall hanging.
I also received a great photo from Kathy of Never Enough Thyme. I love this photo for two reasons. Number one, look at Kathy's view... and number two, before we built my art studio - I also blogged from our kitchen!!
Please submit your "home office" or "favorite cozy spot to blog" by
e-mailing your photo to laura.trevey@gmail.com

Best of 2010 : Mirrors and Chandeliers
If you have been reading Bright Bold and Beautiful for a while, you know my fascination with mirrors and chandeliers... glamorous and shiny, sparkling light reflecting off the crystals and stylish mirrors ... Here are some of my favorites from this year.

Some great inspiration: Victorian Shabby Chic
Way too long ago a reader asked me for suggestions to create a "Victorian Shabby Chic" style. I'm ashamed that I'm just getting to it now - but better late than never?
Here's what she writes:
"...we are just starting major renovations on an old Victorian house (built in 1891). One of my challenges is that I don't want the house to be overly Victorian. We are retaining as many of the historical elements as we can (trim, doors, wood floors, etc.) but are making a lot of changes to make the house more suitable for today (adding bathrooms, making a master suite, etc.). The style I am going for is "shabby chic country Victorian", which is I think is a totally made up term that my friend and I came up with. I was wondering if you have any thoughts or images that may fit this "style".
Well, here are a few pics I pulled from my collection that I thought might just fit the bill...

The stool with the aged patina adds a "shabby" element to keep the space from being too "perfect" Victorian.
Gotta love the floor!

Here' another example of a "shabby" piece of furniture that will keep a space from looking too fluffy. I really like the look of a filing cabinet or locker mixed in with victorian furnishings.

Mixing and matching throws and pillows on your seating will make the space cozier and "shabbier"
A modern chandelier like the one above is Victorian in shape, but the color and finish keeps the fixture from being too chintzy.
Victorian homes often feature gorgeous original wood architectural elements. If the wood is dark, a great way to brighten the space is to add a mirror with a bit of edge, like the one above
Use contrasting colors (like white chairs and a black table), to keep the space awake

Do you have any tips for a "victorian shabby chic" look?

Bright Ideas: Using Mirrors
My obsession with large mirrors continues... Placing a mirror in your closet is a bright idea for many reasons. First, it creates the illusion of a larger space. Second, why not be able to see your outfit in the same place where you try it on! Oh... and there is even an adorable blue crystal chandelier in the closet as a finishing touch!

Bright Ideas: Using Mirrors
I love to use mirrors in almost every room! This entryway sure makes a bold statement with the handsome mirror over the table.
Cover up the mirrors with your finger to see how the look and feel
of the rooms change without them. Use mirrors to create more
depth and personality to your decor!
