The Idea of You (2024)

Rom coms get a bad rap, same-same for chick-lit, but I refuse to categorize anything you enjoy as a "guilty pleasure." Love what you love! Now, granted some have better writing, production, etc. than others and I've definitely seen some doozies.

Thankfully, in addition to a solid script and excellent performances The Idea of You also delivers on the interior eye-candy. We see fancy hotel rooms and French Provencal houses, but the real star is Anne Hathaway's Craftsman style bungalow in Silverlake.

Gorgeous warm toned wood, a color story featuring rich teal, citrusy green and burgundy, plus an extraordinary mix of contemporary art with mid century furniture. It reads as eclectic yet curated, the perfect home for a slightly bohemian, but clearly well-heeled gallery owner and her absolutely rad daughter.

@mollywatson - American Craftsman style was influenced by the English Arts & Crafts movement, plus elements of Japanese design - both traditions valued honesty of materials and expression of the construction were celebrated. Check out this movie for a fresh, colorful version of a craftsman bungalow interior. The character comes from layers of rich color, warm wood tones and textures (paneling, paint, metal, tile). If you can, seek natural materials and simplified design in the elements you choose for your project. /end dissertation!
