Huffingtons in the Movies: the Sequel

Last week, we just had to share the news that some of our paintings made their screen debut in a new TV pilot, “Necessary Roughness”, that’s being filmed here in Atlanta. (www.deadline.com)

We loved the entire process and are waiting with bated breath for the pilot to make it onto our TV screens – don’t worry, we’ll keep you posted.

Working with the lovely set designer did get us thinking: what if the inimitable Nancy Meyers and her longtime set designer, Jon Hutman (“Something’s Gotta Give”, “The Holiday”) or Beth Rubino (“It’s Complicated”) called us one day to tell us they need art for their sets? Can you imagine the fun?

Here’s the wonderful Jack Nicholson as Harry in “Something’s Gotta Give.” His manly and sophisticated bedroom is perfect for him. While we like the funky abstracted piece above the bed, we had a different idea:

We think this is just a little more soothing and serene for the bedroom – and this would help Harry get to that zen place in his life, which he badly needs. (Doug Foltz’s “But I’ve Been Wrong Before.”) Beside, Erica (Diane Keaton) will love this because it will remind her of her fabulous Hamptons beach house.

“The Holiday” was another cute Meyers rom-com whose interiors had us all drooling.

Here’s Cameron Diaz’s snazzy L.A. living room from “The Holiday.” We love the monchromatic palette and white slipcovers here, there and everywhere. Very chic.

Here’s our suggestion for Cameron:

We like the edgy quality of this gorgeous piece by Zae, called “Semblance.” We think the splashes of rusty red against the black and cream are a perfect complement to this room…and we can just imagine Cameron and Jude Law lounging in here and being very L.A.

Cameron’s L.A. bedroom is also very clean and stylish:

In fact, the paintings above the bed remind us of our own Georges Nasri, who paints simple, elegant and spare watercolors of women:

Chic Hat in Black and White

All Dressed Up

Indigo Chic

But we liked the idea of something softer and more ethereal over the bed especially since Cameron plays a hyped-up workaholic in the movie:

Melissa Payne Baker’s “Everlasting I”

Last year’s “It’s Complicated” with Meryl Streep, Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin was funny and entertaining – but what really got us was Meryl Streep’s fabulously comfortable house. Why on earth was she planning on renovating it?

The kitchen alone was serious eye-candy:

And we all ooohed and aaahed over the living room, which seemed to be the perfect place to relax with friends, curl up and read or enjoy a little glass of wine:

We love the pops of color and the collected look and feel of this…and had no problem imagining this over the mantel:

Love the chartreusey green and brilliant reddish-orange palete of Onyeka Ibe’s Hilltop Barn II.

We love the magic of the movies, but honestly, it’s even more fun to imagine our precious paintings gracing the big screen. We’ll keep you posted about our TV pilot!
