A shoe and another shoe

These items I spotted this weekend in the Belgian lifestyle magazine Talkies. I could not resist to share them with you!







This 12 cm high-heeled pump from GEOX pays homage to the skyline of New York and is inspired by the Empire State Building.

A bath-tub in mosaic from the Italian design manufacturer SICIS.

Shoe-aholics, you can start dreaming!

It’s Complicated in Traditional Home

It's Complicated

Nancy Meyers new movie “It’s Complicated” stars Meryl Streep, Steve Martin, and Alec Baldwin

 

I almost had a heart attack late last night,  racing like madwoman to buy the December issue of Traditional Home magazine.  A reader had emailed me, casually asking if I knew that Nancy Meyer’s latest movie, due to arrive in theatres this Christmas Eve, was featured in the magazine? 

“No, I didn’t know.  Are you sure – have you seen it?”   Oh yes, the reader informed me, she had not only seen it, but the issue had been out for a week already.   That was news to me since I subscribe to Traditional Home – where is my copy??!!?     At the store, I had to pay more for this one issue than a two year subscription, but who cares?  There was no way I was going to wait patiently for my own magazine to arrive - I wanted to see those pictures NOW!

In case you are new to Cote de Texas,  I am slightly obsessed with Nancy Meyers, the film writer/director behind  classics such as Something’s Gotta Give, The Holiday, The Parent Trap, and Father of the Bride to name a few.   Meyers is something of a design aficionado and in her last two movies, Something’s Gotta Give and The Holiday,  the movies houses were almost more of  the star of the show than the actors.   The promise of a new Nancy Meyers movie has kept design lovers anxiously waiting with this question:  will her new movie’s house be as great as the one  in Something’s Gotta Give?  That one – the beach house in the Hamptons -  started a national trend of white kitchens with subway tile backsplashes, black countertops, and dark wood floors.   The Something’s Gotta Give house is probably the most favorite movie house ever – overtaking Tara for the top spot.  

 

 

image

Something’s Gotta Give’s famous living room with it’s slipcovered furniture, blue and white striped dhurri, Mora clock, white walls, dark hardwoods and Hamptons style architecture is probably the most loved movie house of all time.  Despite the movie now being over six years old, magazines still feature houses that are designed in what they describe as a “Something’s Gotta Give” style.

The dining room – with the linen floral slipcovered chairs, sisal rug, and white ironstone filled shelves was a particularly attractive room.

The new movie from Nancy Meyers:  It’s Complicated – stars Meryl Streep,  Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin.   For Meyers fans - the most important credit is the pairing of Production Designer Jon Hutman with Set Decorator Beth Rubino.  This is their first movie together since Something’s Gotta Give.  Rubino was absent during the The Holiday shoot. 

 

 image The movie is a love triangle between the stars, but this scene seems oddly familiar!

The famous bedroom scene from Something’s Gotta Give with Diane Keaton and Jack Nicholson.   Director Nancy Meyers is shown working her magic.

The star of It’s Complicated:  a 1920’s Mediterreanean house in Santa Barbara that Meryl Streep remodels with the help of her architect turned lover Steve Martin. 

 

 image It’s Complicated – the main living room

Film writer Nancy Meyers says that since so much of the movie is filmed inside the house, she wanted Streep to look good in it.  Thus, the interiors were done in creams with punches of orange – to play up Streep’s peaches and cream complexion.  Meyers was heavily influenced by the trendy Belgian style and that was the starting point for the interiors.  Certainly, the oversized, comfortable slipcovered furniture shown in the living room above reflects the Belgian look, as does the large x-motif coffee table with its slate top.   I love the pillows on the sofa, but the blue ones don’t do much for me, I’m afraid.  The rug looks interesting – a textured style with a stripe running through it.  I love the window seat and the steel windows and I particularly like the furniture arrangement with the four chairs – two pairs, two odd ones, circling the coffee table. 

 

image In this picture of the living room, taken from the movie’s trailer – you can see the large slipcovered sofa with the assortment of orange pillows – solid and patterned.   Behind the sofa just out view is a bleached wood console with lamps – further reflecting the Belgian vibe.  This scene is when Streep announces to her shocked friends that she is having an affair!

 

image And across from the sofa is this large limed wood French armoire.  In this scene Streep wears an outfit done in browns and oranges that perfectly coordinates with the interiors.  The colors of the walls and pillows look much more muted in the trailer than in the Traditional Home pictures.

 

 

image Here you can see thst behind the sofa is a long, Belgian styled console table topped with two lamps.

 

 

image Off the entry hall is another bleached wood console – surrounded by white plates hanging on the wall.   Those lanterns look like the ones from Vintage Vagabond.  In this scene  - who knows what is going on????

The kitchen and dining room.

 

This kitchen plays an important role in the movie as it is remodeled by Streep and her architect.  I love the island – it looks like it is made of a vintage steel piece with a thick slab of Carrara marble on top of it.   There is a double range to the right of the sink, and to the left are exposed shelves.  Underneath, is a linen skirt instead of cabinet doors.  I love the zinc pendant lights and the large dining room table.  The dining room is separated from the kitchen by a thick arched wall – and the flooring is different in both rooms.  Again, these rooms are bathed in creamy tones with orange accents.  It all looks so charming and authentic – no word yet if the house was constructed for the movie – or if the interiors were built on a sound stage.  All those details will probably come out after the movie.     This picture comes from Traditional Home’s December issue. 

 

 

 

image Meryl Streep’s Bedroom.

 

The bedroom is a cozy and warm space – filled with an assortment of antique furniture from different styles.  An English chest is paired with a French Louis Philippe gilt mirror, while a large wood desk serves as a night stand.  The headboard is upholstered and the bed is made up with khaki and white linens and an orange shawl is used as a coverlet.  At the end of the bed is an antique bench.   Linen curtains are hung along with textured blinds.   One of the movies funniest scenes takes place in this bedroom.

The Master Bathroom.

 

The bathroom also looks charming with its cast iron tub and limestone floors mixed with the house’s original steel windows.  It appears that a Ghost chair is holding an assortment of towels.  The shower curtain seems to made out of the same linen as the bedroom curtains.   This is a publicity still issued by the studio.   

 

 Capturegg

In this scene –  there is a party, maybe to celebrate the remodeling.  Inside the building, it looks like it was once a garage that has been turned into a family room – with  high ceilings and rafters.   This scene looks so funny in the trailer.   I can’t WAIT to see the movie, it looks so good, plus I want to check out all the interiors up close.  But, I have to say – judging from what I have seen so far, the Something’s Gotta Give house’s crown appears to be safe – it looks like it will remain the favorite movie house of all time.

Sencillo bloque y quilt hecho con jelly roll

Para este fin de semana, si estás algo aburrida, te propongo este sencillo bloque y posteriormente quilt hecho a partir de un jelly roll. Hace tiempo que no escribía un tutorial  y esta es una  buena ocasión  para hacerlo con uno de  esos formatos precortados que    ya se han puesto de moda hace tiempo.

En mi caso he utilizado uno de Fig Tree Quilts con el nombre de Patisserie de Moda. Puedes ver su blog aquí.
Me encanta   el diseño de sus telas  y el estilo de  los quilts de Joanna Figueroa.
 
Para este  bloque me he servido del libro  Jelly Roll Quilts de Pam y Nicky Lintot,  sencillo, clarito y con 17 estupendos quilts descritos paso a paso. Estas dos mujeres inglesas , madre e hija,  después de una amplia experiencia  en patchwork a través de  The Quilt Room , se decidieron por editar   en un libro  los quilts que  ya estaban  haciendo  con sus alumnas. Este es el primero . Aquí puedes leer sus aventuras. Por cierto, el quilt que aparece de fondo en la cabecera del blog , también está en este libro ¡ y ya lo he empezado !


Este modelo figura con el nombre de Garden Trellis y  originalmente está  hecho con telas de Blackbird , pero creo que con  el colorido de  Patisserie quedará también  estupendo.
Primero separa las tiras  en dos  paquetes en   tonos oscuros y tonos claros.
Luego cose una tira oscura con otra clara que te guste.
Así hasta que hagas todas las parejas  y te quedes si tiras.
Yo las he ido poniendo  a prueba primero  y ver si me gustaban antes de coserlas.




Selecciona  dos parejas que queden bien juntas .











Sitúa  una sobre otra de manera que   el color claro quede sobre el oscuro y el oscuro sobre el claro.
Plancha para que queden bien juntitas.











Cose ambos  extremos. Así te quedará una especie de tubo


























Sobre lo que has cosido , coloca una regla Omnigrid 98L,  que tiene forma triangular. Deberás posicionar  la medida de  3 1/2 en la mitad donde las tiras estén cosidas 
















y   el pespunte cosido de abajo donde marca la regla 7 1/2  . Si no la tienes   también te sirve una cuadrada .








Corta el primer triángulo, te quedará cosido un  poquito arriba y  pespunte  en toda la parte inferior.






















Ahora dale la vuelta a la regla y corta otro triángulo. Así hasta tener 8 triángulos. Te sobrarán los extremos . No los he tirado con el fin de usarlo en otro quilt. 



















Deshaz  el pequeño pespunte que quedó arriba en todos los triángulos....















.... y ábrelo. Tendrás un cuadrado formado por  tiras longitudinales cosidas..... y alternadas una clara ,una oscura.

















Ahora deberás formar un bloque hecho de cuatro de  los bloques anteriores  colocados de la siguiente manera : un triángulo  en la izquierda de arriba  y uno claro a la derecha arriba . De modo que  los tonos claros y oscuros quedarán opuestos. Fíjate en este bloque . La tira   roja de lunares ( color oscuro ) tiene al lado una  clarita con flores ( color clara )  . De igual manera se hace con los bloques de abajo. 



Una vez que tengas cosidos los cuatro bloques en uno,  coserás estos grandes bloques uno a otro, quedando  4  horizontal y 5 vertical.                                                                           



Esta es " mi pared "  con el montaje. He ido moviendo los grandes bloques según me ha parecido mejor la combinación  de telas.



Ahora sólo me quedará  coserlo todo , poner un borde, acolchar y terminar con un biés a juego.

A Single Man

Everyone scoffed when Tom Ford announced that he was going to make movies after he left fashion but now that his new film, A Single Man, is garnering Oscar buzz, the critics are sitting up and taking notice. I've already taken notice of the chic 1960's interiors and think the design world may have a new favorite source of inspiration. It's clear that Ford is one of those creative types whose talent and vision translates into perfection no matter what the medium. The film is based on the Christopher Isherwood's 1964 novel of the same name stars Colin Firth and Julianne Moore and opens on December 10th. Bon Weekend!
