TV'sAPARTMENT:...Carrie Bradshaw's apartment...

I have really  looked for  a subject  for my next  post, something special I could I tell, which theme would be interesting to raise up? Looking through the web-sites I saw a pair of interesting pictures with  famous TV shows interiors.  It gave me the idea of creating  series  of posts about the interiors from a TV screen.And of course, I'll start with my favorite TV-show - "Sex and the City".

I was attracted to the story itself:  a girl's life in the big city,  things that surround her in her apartment and outside of it and their  interaction with the subjects of her  personal style in clothes.  Carey Bradshaw’s  story inspires me and I often watch some episodes over and over again just to be able to see an interesting collection of clothing, interior decoration or amusing situations, dreaming and imagining of my own life on the day when I will move to my own place. 

As time went on, Carey's  interiors  began to change. I found my perfect  interior  for life and  TV screen and you can see it in the first "Sex and the City" movie.  But  I should tell you  how I see the major interior evolution.  

In the first episodes Cary’s  apartment was an excellent example of a free woman  living  environment.  Abundance of small decorative elements, patterns spaced randomly, magazines and books scattered, cosmetics, vases, clothes, all this makes it really feminine. You feel life In this interior, the life of the personage, her creative soul.

The interior lives  and changes together with Carey, which reinforces the perception of the realism of this place. 

Looking at the desktop you can see that she works at home, and you can guess that she was a writer seeing the number of books on it. She didn't like  very modern things much at that moment, her interior is filled with vintage of 50's as she feels comfortable and cozy among her things, even old ones. But after some time she decided to paint the kitchen and replace the flooring . And despite her attachment to things,  she has a delicate taste and if she decides to change something we feel her  style and  character in those changes...

Layout of the apartment deserves  our special attention. This is an one-bedroom apartment with three windows facing the street, a small kitchen, a combined sanitary unit and a decent wardrobe. Apartment is quite spacious and has an interesting layout with the kitchen in the center, which is conveniently located not far from the front door.

I’ll never forget the Carey  phrase about her dressing room and the fact that  its doors are always open: "If a robber breaks into my house, I will hear  it, and while he would go into the living room, I'll go through the dressing room into the bathroom and run out  at the door there, it is very convenient."

Events developed, life went on. Carey  grew up and her interior was growing up with her. In the movie, we were shown how the design of her apartment has been changed. That exactly became  my inspiration. 

Main change - the color of the walls. And of course this color went  into the treasury of ideas for my apartment. It fits perfectly with the purple  accessories of different  tints,  white cornice and plinth only emphasize the beauty and richness of the colors .

Design armchairs, lamps and carpets came to replace the furniture from flea markets and that’s why interior became more refined and sophisticated.

I can really spend hours to study this interior, its colors, furniture ... Learn and be inspired by such a bright example.

Definitely, I'll find a place for similar color solutions in my future apartment...

Many people would think that the new interior doesn't fit with the personage. But as for me, it  is much more in line with her new status and her style. She grew up and her  interior grew up with her. There isn't  place of clutter that has been accumulated over the years anymore.

All you need is love...

She has grown up spiritually and easily says goodbye to the past. And that  by my opinion is something  everyone should learn. Why we keep things that has been broken long time ago and  not being used?  This all is just old clutter and we need to learn how to get rid of all those old and unnecessary things.

So go to the wardrobes and shelves, disassemble tem, throw away  everything  to make room for something new. This advice can be useful to both - the interior and personal life.  Get rid of this "grandmother" idea that you’ll may  need to use one of those old things once.   Forget  it!  If you didn't find how to use it during so many past years it really means that this thing isn't necessary. Nowadays there is no problem finding something  new. Besides, the choice is huge, so: be bold and don't hold on the old!

With love, 
          ShonA!
