The Intern movie house: get the look

April 21, 2021 Kristin Schroedl

It is 33 degrees out today which is kind of making me want to crawl back into bed. That would not be very productive and my to do list is LONG, so I am going to throw on a warm sweater and get to work. I have another “get the look” design board for you today! Have you seen the movie The Intern? Anne Hathaway’s character lives in a beautiful brownstone filled with eye candy. I’m focusing on the dining/living room, but the kitchen and primary bedroom are amazing too.

The yellow sofa is my favorite element in the room. I love the mix of styles and family friendly vibe of this space. Here is how you can recreate the look in your home.

Sullivan's from Sweet Magnolias Room Inspiration

March 14, 2021 Kristin Schroedl

I have a confession to make. We still have a TV antenna on the roof of our house which we use to watch basic free television. Shocking right? My boys love watching PBS cartoons and documentaries and I love The Great British Baking Show. We only subscribe to Netflix sporadically so most of the time I am late to the party when it comes to popular shows. A show I did watch recently was Sweet Magnolias. One of the main characters owns a restaurant named Sullivan’s. It is warm, inviting, and full of texture and charm. The design can easily be adapted for a dining space in a home. Wallpaper, paneling, and brick are used for the walls. Warm woods and brass are repeated throughout the space. Fluted details and a colorful palette are currently so popular and really add personality to the room. Below is a design board you can use to create a similar space in your home.

Take Five: Breakfast Nook

May 10, 2019 Kristin Schroedl

I love a good breakfast nook. I am all about casual and comfortable so a breakfast nook is right up my alley. They conjure up images of slow mornings reading the newspaper while sipping orange juice and enjoying a good bagel or scone. The kitchen really does seem to be the heart of the home and I find that the best conversations and impromptu gatherings happen there. Here are a few that inspired today’s Take Five.
