Today I’m so excited to launch my latest Get The Look Series — Nancy Meyers edition! It’s safe to say that I’ve been obsessed with every movie Nancy Meyers has produced over the course of her career. From Father of the Bride to the Parent Trap to Something’s Gotta Give, in this new series I’ll be breaking down the movie sets we have come to know and love over the past 30 years. I’ll be sharing sources, similar products & how we can all get the look of the most beautiful, fictional homes.
First up — the movie set decor from the Something’s Gotta Give living room!
Something’s Gotta Give Movie Set Decor
I searched the internet high and low for sources and information I could find as it relates to the decor in the Something’s Gotta Give Hamptons house. One of the best articles was published in Arch Digest — linked here!
So here’s the scoop —
The beautiful (and gigantic!) blue and white striped dhurrie was a massive antique rug that set designer, Beth Rubino, ended up re-working in order to fit the move set. Some articles suggest this rug was purchased at “Aspen Rug Company” but I have yet to find this rug company online. However, one lucky blogger was able to spot it a DDD Charity Event in Southampton and now has it her bedroom! She also mentioned in her blog post that the color of the English Country sofas from the movie were actually very light eggshell blue linen vs. white as they appear on-screen. Movie trickery, I tell ya!
The good news is — you can easily find a classic blue and white striped Dhurrie on Etsy or House of Dhurries! Annie Selke and Ralph Lauren are two other great resources for blue and white striped rugs.
The art above the fireplace is speculated to be a reproduction of a painting by Edward Henry Potthast, an impressionist artist that painted many seaside pieces. I always recommend Serena and Lily or One Kings Lane for similar seaside pieces to help you get the look.
The white clock in the living room was a Morten Monberg — you can shop a similar version at Ballard Designs.
From a 2004 interview with Beth Rubino with the Set Decorators Society, Beth mentioned that the living room drapes were linen with box hem-stitching to allow movement of the air. The design team also incorporated different densities of sheers to slightly obstruct or diffuse the light. I personally have these ivory linen drapes from Pottery Barn that I think would compliment any beach house decor.
Last but not least, per the Arch Digest article — the fabric on the ottoman is by Clearance House and the chair fabric is by Mimi House London.
