| Decor Inspiration: Decorating Ideas from "It's Complicated" Movie |
The house from the movie "It's Complicated" directed by
Nancy Meyers and starring Meryl Streep, is one of
my all-time favorite cottages, and I have blogged
about it before but am compelled to re-visit
its timeless Belgian style design loveliness.
It's so interesting that Meryl Streep's character
has decided to remodel and expand her beautiful
home, when I am out of my mind with admiration
of its "before" glory.
The style is so Belgian and cozy farmhouse
without feeling contrived or too decorated at all.
I think the reason so many of us are crazy
about it is that it seems so manageable
and achieves a harmonious balance
of liveability and beauty.

Brooke Giannetti who uses them brilliantly.
The long oval table is so unique (at least to me),
organic, and understated in its sophistication.
Paired with the warmth of the chairs, I love
how it feels fancy enough for an elegant dinner
yet casually inviting for everyday dining.
It's complicated? I love how the simplicity
of this cottage balances out the many
layers of complexity in the relationships
explored in the film.

Here's a great still from "It's Complicated" allowing
us to view the floorplan better, and isn't this
a lovely way to have open concept living
with abundant architectural interest?

is you get a sense of scale for rooms when you see
humans in action in them, and here we can clearly
tell it's a cozy space where you are going
to be rubbing shoulders with the family.

and casual, effortless design.

I love the stacked wicker baskets next to the sofa,
