(Trust me, you'll only get more envious from here on out). That sweet studio resides in a rambling 1880s seaside estate, that was once owned by Gloria Vanderbilt. Everyone's favorite silver fox, Anderson Cooper, grew up here.<br /><br />The house is shingles style, with arts and crafts touches throughout. Bell downplayed the grandness of the house by stripping it of the floor-to-ceiling decorating preferred by Vanderbilt and giving it a more laid back cottage-y look. I love how Bell broke out of the typical seaside palette of blues and whites, in favor of creamy neutrals accented with hot pinks, candy purples and rich marigold yellows.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfewxV-2JeR9xBhcKs0ahPOtUeqQNGplbyQV8w1lKGHCNtuPCBaVzw37w34eAUmWAfrFJUXQ9htRdIbzvF3c4sJBdGVAfge5B_xu9NLMjKBLEkLhvYtpn18L9sVxLl6-FMkO3KTqCrrYI/s1600-h/rbell2.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5425289334872681394" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfewxV-2JeR9xBhcKs0ahPOtUeqQNGplbyQV8w1lKGHCNtuPCBaVzw37w34eAUmWAfrFJUXQ9htRdIbzvF3c4sJBdGVAfge5B_xu9NLMjKBLEkLhvYtpn18L9sVxLl6-FMkO3KTqCrrYI/s400/rbell2.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 313px; height: 400px;" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbBJ6jp9nBgvCvtHIRmqsc8FmhRcixQZInf1qT1uz1uxxzf3b_yOpRFnj8l2RGjPdv2ZIcvdO1rURL32v9fmi1aT7JAdk4gTu6qgiaRkfJasjizNeycknXdCQ_epMlPHIkm27fQkSo2eQ/s1600-h/7-easyandageless-0508-xlg.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5425289806255663074" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbBJ6jp9nBgvCvtHIRmqsc8FmhRcixQZInf1qT1uz1uxxzf3b_yOpRFnj8l2RGjPdv2ZIcvdO1rURL32v9fmi1aT7JAdk4gTu6qgiaRkfJasjizNeycknXdCQ_epMlPHIkm27fQkSo2eQ/s400/7-easyandageless-0508-xlg.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 313px; height: 400px;" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgew43UdJUcq3jIiw6MDqmdXIFtieMte67WVz74WCWdY0ao0W5zctWwxdSg377YrcZS5n-RTlpsnRtC-R0vo5sdXibhLrRQOO6ralzLjJhVmSKFiQad9imcVfTW02cMOXFJMjczVaEJir0/s1600-h/rbell8.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5425289323021896178" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgew43UdJUcq3jIiw6MDqmdXIFtieMte67WVz74WCWdY0ao0W5zctWwxdSg377YrcZS5n-RTlpsnRtC-R0vo5sdXibhLrRQOO6ralzLjJhVmSKFiQad9imcVfTW02cMOXFJMjczVaEJir0/s400/rbell8.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 313px; height: 400px;" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvCBNdlSxuwWNic0KCyPcEak9i5hTlcyCG1n6mDb9Ut6hiVJCyByC0WO89R4z6G1tKXI0LMjN7iAJ-ENwwRU4pnktI8_ooVrE9XoAcuM2cCG31g1hMgtI6ilMuBXEmfUmVOcCNaDQu5BQ/s1600-h/rbell5.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5425289337939232194" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvCBNdlSxuwWNic0KCyPcEak9i5hTlcyCG1n6mDb9Ut6hiVJCyByC0WO89R4z6G1tKXI0LMjN7iAJ-ENwwRU4pnktI8_ooVrE9XoAcuM2cCG31g1hMgtI6ilMuBXEmfUmVOcCNaDQu5BQ/s400/rbell5.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 313px; height: 400px;" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZLyqiIlrejeKiq3d_9xPsuSeQQl3B2tfjUhWgp2m1TYO3xyPTeRRD-vWuwqIYViGMkCC9Atx9FR1fOf-zAm5dM0Qod8owZ5qcgGLjJ9O_1fvdJ8DjN5bqV7oVDg4n5U4WI9LKWVSTzJ8/s1600-h/rbell6.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5425289329313401090" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZLyqiIlrejeKiq3d_9xPsuSeQQl3B2tfjUhWgp2m1TYO3xyPTeRRD-vWuwqIYViGMkCC9Atx9FR1fOf-zAm5dM0Qod8owZ5qcgGLjJ9O_1fvdJ8DjN5bqV7oVDg4n5U4WI9LKWVSTzJ8/s400/rbell6.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 313px;" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdbo0U5C3KfPEIPl6vcDc7jOmdfYepV-azDgG7cYFFDbNAd_517J9T5aEpr_ANGOJzVZnEsjFyZKWUkW3twNuwykj3XLZI2tDPSdsZ0v45jNwf7cdeIVvdXF2k1FpuL0a-SdoYFmkm80k/s1600-h/rbell.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5425289801663838754" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdbo0U5C3KfPEIPl6vcDc7jOmdfYepV-azDgG7cYFFDbNAd_517J9T5aEpr_ANGOJzVZnEsjFyZKWUkW3twNuwykj3XLZI2tDPSdsZ0v45jNwf7cdeIVvdXF2k1FpuL0a-SdoYFmkm80k/s400/rbell.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 313px; height: 400px;" /></a>
