I had a wonderful evening last night with all the girls at our private screening of Sex and the City 2. With all the mixed reviews I was not sure what to expect but so love going to a movie where I can sit back and lose myself and just dream.
Well the movie did not disappoint and I thought it was fantastic - yes in parts you certainly thought "ok hang a minute" but what is a movie for if not to step out of your world and into another. The fashion was amazing and the scenery spectacular but the one thing that I found absolutely incredible was Carrie and Big's new apartment.
It certainly made me come home and want to redecorate. When I built my house I deliberately kept it very neutral - lots of white, simple, modern and streamlined. I am not one for clutter as I hate the distraction. After watching the movie however I realized I could be turned! No I could never have clutter but there were so many interesting features - lots of texture, great patterns and wonderful furniture - I am not sure I have ever been to a movie where I took such great interest in the decor!
Here are some wonderful images from the movie that really made me go oohh ...
The beautiful living room (notice the books on the coffee table are standing up).
The perfect walk-in closest - my heart skipped a beat when Carrie opened the doors - this is exactly how I envisaged my wardrobe to be - mine is pretty good but this is spectacular - I could even sleep here!
The dining room (with the kitchen behind). Look at that fantastic light taking centre stage.
The sitting room.
The kitchen.
The bedroom - with a beautiful writing desk (and the perfect view of the closet)
Here is Carrie back in her old apartment with yet another amazing walk-in closet!
The living room again - I do like these chairs!
Now it is time to make my home as interesting as this one - somehow my books would not manage to stay upright but give me 10 or so years and maybe I could revisit this idea!
