Decorating Ideas to Steal From the Set of Broken Embraces
Broken Embraces opens tomorrow in the US, and I'm so excited to see Penelope Cruz working again with director Pedro Almodovar. The film follows an aspiring actress who's secretly in love with a director, but is stagnating in a bad marriage. It's also chock-full of fun, colorful interior design ideas.
Casa Quickie: Mix Curtain Patterns
In this scene from Tyler Perry's new movie I Can Do Bad All by Myself, I was struck by the great use of pattern in the curtains in this loft apartment. Not only are the two different patterns complementary, but the differing weights of the curtains also works out well. The more sheer curtains can be used for privacy during the day, while still letting sunlight filter in.
Over-the-Top Decorating Ideas From But I'm a Cheerleader
My sister and I recently caught But I'm a Cheerleader on HBO the other night, and my jaw dropped at the awesome, over-the-top set design of the film. It's been years since I've seen the 1999 satirical romantic comedy, whose plot follows the "re-education" of a group of gay teenagers at a therapy camp meant to make the teens heterosexual (spoiler alert: it doesn't work). Fittingly for a movie that borrows a John Waters-esque vibe, the set design embraces a vivid, surreal look, including lots of pink, pink, pink for the girls.
Great Design Ideas From 2009's Emmy Nominees: Weeds
In the past season of Weeds, the Botwins moved from their gated community of Agrestic, CA, to a beach town on the border of California and Mexico. Hunkering down in Nancy's mother-in-law's house, the family set about remaking their lives. The grandma-style design of this house delighted me last season.
Great Set Design From 2009's Emmy Nominees: Big Love
While Big Love is nowhere near as hip as Mad Men when it comes to its sets, there's no denying that the careful crafting of the show's look adds depth to the series. Since the show's central thesis is the importance of family (even if it is a rather unusual family), the set design reflects that idea, as well as the personalities of those family members. Let's take a look at the homes of Bill Henrickson and sister wives Barb, Nikki, and Margene.
James Bond: Interior Style Throughout the Years
The James Bond films have been running for over 40 years. Not only do they feature buxom babes and a suave hero, there's also a lot of eye candy in the interior design department. Take a look at some of the interiors from 1962 through current day, as well as some of the products that have made their mark in these films.
The Authentic Look of HBO's True Blood
Although True Blood has had an uneven first season (the finale was last night), I'll still be tuning in next year. I have to find out what happens with my favorite characters, and I can't wait to see how the plot develops. One element of the show that I really enjoy is its authentic look, which is crafted by the nimble art and set direction of Bill Law and Catherine Smith.
