movie inspiration: Some Girls

I was disappointed to learn that the house in Some Girls (1989) was just a set, but still it is the most gorgeous set - probably my favorite. Art nouveau eye candy in every scene, plus Patrick Dempsey and Jennifer Connelly. The story is a little thin, but the art direction is perfect. So much carved wood and stained glass and warm low-key lighting. I had to lighten these stills signifigantly so you can see the details.

carved wood smoke curls everywhere.. really on every surface. And those fat-bellied sconces are another amazing detail.

check out those peacock lamps - they are part of the bases of the banisters





nouveau wallpaper, black & white tiles, gothic furniture, Catholic icons




ferns everywhere - and that giant swirling design in the floor is outstanding. And yes, that's naked Patrick Dempsey.
