I came across this image on the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/casavoguebrasil">Facebook page</a> of <a href="http://casavogue.globo.com/">Casa Vogue Brazil’s</a> Anuario Decoradores 2013 and was immediately drawn to the color palette as well as the mix of traditional and modern pieces since I like to mix the same types of elements when I decorate. The fireplace is spectacular in its bold simplicity. I love all of the contrasts. You’ll also notice the floor to ceiling mirrors flanking either side of the fireplace which undoubtedly make the room feel infinitely larger. I am a sucker for symmetry and clearly, the person who designed this room is too. Everything looks so much better when there is order in a space. </p>  <p>Does anyone know who the designer is so that I can properly credit them? What are your thoughts? Do you like the saturated use of color in this space? Do you like the mirrors? Have a fabulous weekend!</p>  <p> </p>  <p><img src="http://i726.photobucket.com/albums/ww267/fabkcreative/2012/Signature-3.png" style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" /></p>  <p align="center">{<a href="https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=593436010672572&set=a.591951717487668.97038126.203413149674862&type=3&theater">Image Source</a>}</p>

Dissecting the Details: Brian Gluckstein

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hello lovely LDV readers! It's Nancy of </span><a href="http://marcusdesigninc.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Marcus Design</span></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">, here again with another installment of <em>'Dissecting the Details</em>.' Today we are looking at the unique use of library bookcases in Toronto-based designer <a href="http://www.glucksteindesign.com/"><span style="color: #a64d79;">Brian Gluckstein's</span></a> fabulous spaces.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I adore the fact that he places over-the-top book displays in places you may not think to; the dining room, entryway, or even the bathroom! It's adds an incredible layer of texture and interest that I think only books can bring to a space. Here are 4 key elements in Brian's bookshelf designs.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i990.photobucket.com/albums/af23/nmarcus/postsMar2013/LDVBG4_zpsc540fcc2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i990.photobucket.com/albums/af23/nmarcus/postsMar2013/LDVBG4_zpsc540fcc2.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i990.photobucket.com/albums/af23/nmarcus/postsMar2013/brian12_zps81ae5dff.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i990.photobucket.com/albums/af23/nmarcus/postsMar2013/brian12_zps81ae5dff.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i990.photobucket.com/albums/af23/nmarcus/postsMar2013/briang5copy_zpsde982883.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i990.photobucket.com/albums/af23/nmarcus/postsMar2013/briang5copy_zpsde982883.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I love the drama of a curved wall ... and that bathroom, seriously a dream space.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i990.photobucket.com/albums/af23/nmarcus/postsMar2013/LDVBG1_zps9100b9df.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i990.photobucket.com/albums/af23/nmarcus/postsMar2013/LDVBG1_zps9100b9df.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i990.photobucket.com/albums/af23/nmarcus/postsMar2013/briang12_zpsb024d735.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i990.photobucket.com/albums/af23/nmarcus/postsMar2013/briang12_zpsb024d735.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i990.photobucket.com/albums/af23/nmarcus/postsMar2013/briang10_zpseed5cb27.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i990.photobucket.com/albums/af23/nmarcus/postsMar2013/briang10_zpseed5cb27.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Bookshelves symmetrically flanking a sofa, fireplace, or a tub, is pleasing to the eye.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i990.photobucket.com/albums/af23/nmarcus/postsMar2013/LDVBG3_zps6ae52886.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i990.photobucket.com/albums/af23/nmarcus/postsMar2013/LDVBG3_zps6ae52886.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i990.photobucket.com/albums/af23/nmarcus/postsMar2013/brian13_zpsddc735f4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i990.photobucket.com/albums/af23/nmarcus/postsMar2013/brian13_zpsddc735f4.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Take it to the top.
