I just finished watching the romantic comedy “Must love dogs”. As far as movies go, I didn’t hate it. One of the saving graces was Sarah’s house. It distracted me from being bored or guessing the plot of the movie. It was the equivalent to a shiny object to a cat. The house had a very homey feeling without being cluttered or too old lady-ish. To copy this style on a budget you will need:
1. Kitchen: The kitchen is the gathering spot of any home. This kitchen was one of my all time favorite kitchens, and the inspiration for this post. I loved the glass cabinets with the colorful vases inside. This could be achieved in any room. Just take a bookshelf and paint the outside white. Then paint the back of the bookshelf the same as the wall color. This will give the appearance that this is a built in shelf. Add your favorite colors of glassware. This really gave the kitchen a trendy feeling.
2. Warm walls. “Must love dogs” uses warm yellows on the walls. They keep the color from being too overwhelming by using tonal colors. Use a couch, and curtains the same colors as the wall for a soothing effect.
3. Accessories: Make your home a place the whole family wants to gather with vintage touches like handmade quilts, and crystal doorknobs.
