"Something's Gotta Give" is still giving inspiration




Everyone's favorite design movie for set design is still inspiring eight years after its debut. As a matter of fact, I am just about to send several yards of the Lee Jofa fabric used on the dining room chairs over to a client in Australia. That movie has left a large footprint. Earlier this year, we interviewed set decorator Beth Rubino at The Skirted Roundtable, which you can listen to here. Beth shared the process of creating the beautiful Hampton's Beach House set with us - a fascinating discussion.



Hearst Magazines has partnered with Bizzi  & Partners, developers of The Setai Fifth Avenue Hotel &  Residences, to present the fourth annual "Designer Visions" program.  This year's theme is "Cinema Style" and House BeautifulTown&Country and Veranda, along with their respective interior  design partners, have create stylized homes inspired by classic films  set in New York City on the 58th floor of the Setai Fifth Avenue  Residences.

These include:
.    Phoebe Howard for House Beautiful -- Something's Gotta Give
.    Steven Gambrel for Town&Country -- Six Degrees of Separation
.    Richard Hallberg for Veranda -- Wall Street

Hearst Magazines will host an opening night event for Designer Visions:  Cinema Style on October 12. Various events will be held in the spaces  through the end of the year.

The residences will be featured in House  Beautiful's November issue, Town&Country's December issue, and the  January/February issue of Veranda.

Meanwhile, check out this video on  House Beautiful's "Something's Gotta Give" room designed by Pheobe Howard.

Just discovered your blog! Perfect for us designers, we're always looking at the set design instead of watching the wistful tears in movies.
