Something's Gotta Give Set Design.

Have you seen the movie Something's Gotta Give, starring Diane Keaton, Jack

Nicholson and Keanu Reeves? Do you remember the lovely beach house?

It was put together especially for the film. Each room was designed to fit

her character, a divorced, very successful playwright in her mid 50s.

The film director, Nancy Meyers asked set decorator Beth Rubino to create

a large Hamptons house with the sense of ocean everywhere. The interiors

are full os sandy beach colours and sea blues.

For two and a half months. people lived and worked here. It was a sad

moment when they had to tear it down. But this is Hollywood and that's just

how it is.

Diane Keaton was very enthusiastic when she saw the rooms of the Hollywood

set although she admitted they are not in her style. Tomorrow we will see what

she meant by this as I plan to show you the house where she actually lives!

Whether you've seen the movie or not, I hope you will still enjoy looking at

these lovely rooms!

Soft coloured palette for the dining room too.
