it's complicated

Last night we went to see the movie, It's Complicated. It was not a particularly good movie, but the main house was awesome!!! Some other design blogs have already posted pictures on this, but I am posting since I finally saw it.

Meryl Streep is the main character. This is her spanish style home. It is located in a beautiful setting. You really want to live there.

The interior of the house is very casual, which I like.

I love the open shelving, and the huge island with marble. What a great place to hang out!

The kitchen is open to the dining area and the living room. I wish there was a list of colors, and items used in the movie.

To me, this creamy color of the shelving reminds me of Ben Moore's Camouflage & Abingdon Putty.. I learned about theses colors from Erika @ Urban Grace. Her office has a similar look to this.

The coffee table was fabulous, wish there was a better picture. All of her furniture was great. There was a huge distressed cabinet with her tv. If I find more pics, I will definitely post them!

Wish I could find more pictures. It was really cool.
I can't really recommend the movie, except maybe to see the house! Or you could wait to see it on dvd! It was a fun night though. Everywhere I turn, new inspiration for our house!

In the past few days, I have noticed other bloggers talking about the new movie, Julie & Julia. To be honest, I didn't have the desire to run out and see it. Charles usually wants to go to the movie theater more than I do. I think I have mentioned our spending freeze before? Anyway, last night we decided to treat ourselves on a little date since we have been so good about eating at home. First, we had sushi at Griffin's new Japanese restaurant. Then, we cruised by the fabulous (JK) Griffin movie theater to see what was on. Sadly, the options were bad. The only movie we would consider was Julie & Julia. All of the sudden when the movie started, I remembered it was based on bloggging! The excitement started to set in, I thought "maybe I will learn something!" I have had this blog online for awhile, but I am still really new to posting and keeping up with it. Charles and I both liked the movie. I think there were times he was ready for it to speed up, but I enjoyed every minute. I give it a 2 paws up!
