I got to catch up with my girlfriends last night over a drink and then we saw Sex and the City 2 – what a fun night! The movie was good, but I was ogling over Carrie and Big’s new apartment every time it was on screen – it was a scene stealer for me. The apartment couldn’t scream Carrie and Big anymore as it masterfully combined the masculine with her eclectic feminine. I couldn’t get enough of the navy blue touches and wallpaper throughout – two of my favorite things. It made me love my new navy couch that much more! And Carrie couldn’t have said it better when she said that she’s been cheating on fashion with furniture – that’s been the story here. Lydia Marks of Marks & Frantz is responsible for the incredible apartment seen in the movie. Check out the drool worthy interior shots below from Elle Decor’s slideshow.
I am flipping out over those lamps.
What better place to put her books than in the foyer, juxtaposing the classic with the whimsical light fixture.
Like the couch? Check out this sofa from Mitchell Gold Bob Williams and their other Mid Century inspired pieces.
I love how Big is sitting on the masculine navy couch and she is sitting on the feminine blue pouf with ribbon detailing. What a great shot.
Mid Century Modern reigns in this kitchen. I love the light fixture and two toned cabinets.
The heath ceramic tiles make me think of ocean waves.
The subtle complementary color scheme can be seen here with the orange toned cabinets in the background with blue tile and the coppery light fixture in the foreground (which I am also flipping for)
The pattern on the walls is repeated on the headboard but in a different color value, scale, and medium. You can’t see it in this shot very well, but the trim detailing on the curtains is fab and relates back to the yellow/orange/blue’s seen elsewhere in the apartment. Check out Cole and Son for wallpaper and Kravet for the custom headboard fabric.
Someday I’ll have a Carrie worthy closet with his and hers cabinetry, or perhaps my own closet with just her’s cabinetry and a chandelier

There are a lot of haters of SATC interiors but I’m not one of them. I love it all! Set design is like fantasy and it’s always a great inspiration for adding a little glamour and sparkle to our regular lives (and homes.)
