IT'S COMPLICATED ~ The Set



The director and writer Nancy Meyers, set decorator Beth Rubino, and the production designer Jon Hutman worked tirelessly to create the beautiful set for the move It’s Complicated, starring Meryl Streep, Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin, now in theaters.

Below I have shown the scene above the actual set. Kitchen, living room, bakery, bedrooms and bath are shown below. These photographs are from an article in Traditional Home. com, one of my favorite pages.

I hope that you enjoy this tour. It is interesting to be able to see the actual set of a movie. Enjoy!


The exterior of the Spanish-style ranch home and the entry/hallway as decorated for It's Complicated.

The movie's plot is based largely on the renovation of the kitchen.

Streep had her own ideas about the design and feel of the kitchen set.

The kitchen was a mix of Tuscan, California, and French kitchen styles. It proves obvious how much effort these designers put into this set.

The warm hues and textures used by the designers of this set radiate this room.

I love this space. Meryl Streep plays the part of Jane, a bakery owner, in the movie. Those of you who know me will have no trouble understanding why this is my favorite set in the movie! Hum...maybe second to the kitchen.

The warm, cozy ambience is present in every set. No complaining here!

These bedroom sets are personal, keeping the actors and their parts in mind.


I hope that you have enjoyed this post. I will have a great decorating project for you in my next post, so I look forward to seeing you here.

Teresa,
xoxo

2010 is finally here, and I am extremely excited about the possibilities for this New Year! I hope that all of you have your New Years Day meal planned. I am having black-eyed peas, cabbage, cornbread, and ham!

I would like to thank all of my followers, whether on my blog, or on my newly added website, for their support and welcome. I was overwhelmed by the number of visitors I have had.

During this next year my goal will be to make my posts exactly what you are looking for, and I welcome suggestions from each of you. I have a lot of great ideas in store for you.

After Christmas In Alabama ... Happy New Year!

.
The beautiful State of Alabama Governors Mansion. Majestic!

The Alabama State Capitol at Christmas.

The Alabama State Capitol. I spent a few days in this grand building.

BOULTIER

For my fellow Montgomerians and me, the word "Boultier" is the only word used at Christmastime to describe this display of lights that began as just a few "less than extravagant" decorations.

We love this house, and you don't go on a tour of the city during Christmas without stopping at the show on Boultier Avenue, on the outskirts of the beautiful Old Cloverdale.

Hey, the children love it! It is just a fun, funny part of our Christmas holidays here.

Next year I plan to begin early and photograph the beautiful lights and decorations throughout the beautifully and extravagantly decorated homes in Montgomery.

So many photographs are published here,and I have also posted a link to the video of the "Boutier" SCENE.
