Movie Interiors

I love to watch movies, who doesn't, but I often find myself pausing the screen to view the interior so beautifully crafted by the scene designer.  Which is a job that I would love to have in my next life

Below are my some of my favories:

1. The apartment set from Indiscreet, with Ingrid Bergman and Cary Grant

    2.   The kitchen set from The Break-Up with Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn



   3.  Meg Ryan's apartment set in the movie You've Got Mail


 4. Nursery set from  Father of the Bride II


  5. Living room set from  the movie Mr & Mrs Smith


6. Beach house set from the movie Something's Gotta Give


7. The apartment set in P.S. I Love You


8.  The Dining Room from Sex in the City II ( photo from Elle Decor)


There are so many more I could add. . . . .keep me posted if you see any that you love

Collections

     Everyone in their life at some point in time has had a collection. When we're young collections are usually easily stored in a shoe or cigar box, to be pulled out at anytime to enjoy.  I remember small collections when I was young (crystal animals, music boxes, etc.) but I don't recall when the penchant for collecting stopped.   I do however recall being struck by a picture in a magazine of magnifying glasses on display. I think it was the blue green reflection off the lens that was just too pretty. 
     In an effort to start my collection I headed to a local antique store in search of my magnifying glass.  The clerk was good enough to tell me that they can be hard to come by, as a single purchase, as often times they are sold as a set with a letter opener, and so useful that they are rarely given up by the owner.  How extremely lucky it was that I found a small magnifying glass with an antler handle with sterling silver trim. Since my first purchase I have received some as gifts, and have added another from my travels.  I hope in time the collection will grow along with the memories of my found treasures.
