Dream Movie Kitchens: It’s Complicated

May 15, 2010

After ogling at the colorful and quirky kitchens from Because I Said So, I knew I had to post Meryl Streep’s character’s kitchen from It’s Complicated. If I had to pick a dream kitchen this would be it. Of course I say that until Nancy Meyer comes out with another romantic comedy with an amazing design I’m sure I’ll want.

Dream Movie Kitchens: Because I Said So, Daphne Wilder

Equally as charming as her daughter’s kitchen, these are a few favorite things from Daphne Wilder’s cooking space and home.

Dream Movie Kitchens: Because I Said So, Milly Wilder

April 23, 2010

With Mother’s Day coming up, I was reminded of the movie, Because I Said So, starring Diane Keaton as Daphne Wilder, the overbearing mother to daughter Milly Wilder, played by Mandy Moore. It’s not my all time favorite romantic comedy but I find myself re-watching because both the mother and daughter, cake artist and caterer respectively, have really colorful and inviting kitchens that I would love to have.

Take a look at Milly’s culinary spaces.

Teaching a cooking class in her work kitchen for her catering company, Good Enuf to Eat. I love the orange and lime striping that go across the room. I also noticed the colors get picked up as well in the grated cheese and herbs on the chopping boards.

Inside Ina Garten’s Barn

I’m so glad I was in NY the right week to see this. Ina Garten’s barn, where she now films her show Barefoot Contessa, is House Beautiful’s Kitchen of the Year, so they created a replica at Rockefeller Plaza. The whole plaza was actually pretty lively with all that was going on.
