In my previous post on The Holiday, we saw how to get the look of Kate Winslet's picture book English country cottage. Now, we take a look at the impressive LA home of Cameron Diaz's character, Amanda, a very successful movie trailer producer. Nancy Meyers and Jon Hutman created an interior filled with fairly traditional furnishings in a simple white, gray and black color palette, creating an air of contemporary elegance. The exterior house, set in Brentwood in the movie, was actually the home of famous California architect Wallace Neff, which he designed for himself in 1928. It's located in San Marino, a suburb of Pasadena. The interiors were created on a sound stage. Interestingly, the online "chat" about this stage set calls it contemporary, but I think it's really more an updated traditional look (and not unlike their set for Diane Keaton's home in "Something's Gotta Give"). Most of the furniture is pretty classic looking, covered in simple cotton slip covers. Several of the chairs, sofas and even the bed have "wings", creating a soft, comfortable look. I do have to say, I've never seen so much seating in an actual interior. The kitchen looks like it could seat 12-14 people - between the table, the counter seating and some upholstered pieces. The living room has a day bed/chaise, sofa and several arm chairs.
So, are you looking to get this look? Here are a few items to get you started.
