Get That Look! Down With Love - Renee Zellweger's bachelorette pad

This 2003 movie was a lot of fun for its costumes, retro fabulous set designs and overall joie-de-vivre. Set decorator Don Diers was interviewed for this piece on the Set Decorators' Society of America's website. It's a great read and I won't bother to repeat it here. One thing I really enjoyed about watching the bonus "making of" materials on the DVD was how many of the people who worked on show - from the set people and costumers to composer Marc Shaiman - all said how much they'd always wanted to do a movie set in this period (1963) with fantasy mid-century modern details, fabulous Doris Day/Rock Hudson costuming and characters.

Renee Zellweger plays writer Barbara Novak, who's new book on how woman should date like a man has turned her into a world-wide phenomenon. Her publishing company sets her up in this totally "old hollywood" style New York apartment. Overscale with an amazing view, it's poppy pink and virginal white color palette harkens back to the pajama party feel of old school "gal on the go" movies.
