Behind the Photo Shoot!
I love this post from one of my favorite bloggers, Julia from Hooked on Houses. She is my design kindred spirit. I have to reblog her latest posting on home that was featured in Better Homes and Gardens. Magazine readers haven’t clue how long and what it takes to do a photo shoot. I shoot can take hours to set up, but before the shoot you have to shop for accessories, furniture and fresh flowers. I love photo shoots but they are time consuming, but very fun.

I hope this link works, I am technologically challenged at times.
Pillow Talk
Okay, I am obsessed with old romantic comedies from the 1960’s, mainly Doris Day’s movies. Doris Day epitomizes glamour and classical style. The interior design and clothing design for her movies are timeless. The movies and TV shows I watched as a kid have shaped my interior design love and style.
Doris Day 1960’s romantic comedy movies are my version of a Dylan’s Candy Bar, the candy store in New York City. I love them – they are colorful, uplifting and visually stimulating. if watch to many of them you will get a sugar hangover. It is worth the indulgence, of course in moderation.
Pillow Talk is one of my favorite movies. Love Doris’ apartment. The movie is about Doris Day and Rock Hudson sharing a telephone line called a party line. Arguments arise when Rock Hudson hogs the party line to woo his girl friends.
In this scene Doris is talking with her housekeeper in the living room. I would wear her pajamas. love the pink walls and white furniture. I envisioned my grown up apartment to look like this, but as you know I love blue and white. Doris and her maid Alma are discussing Rock Hudson conversations.
