cinema inspired

'Tis the season for great MOVIES! Going to the theater is a favorite activity of mine, especially during the holidays. True Grit, King's Speech (who doesn't love Mr. Darcy?), and The Fighter are all on my list... but one film that stands out for it's visual drama is Black Swan.

With it's dark theme, striking aesthetic and incredible cast, Black Swan should be an interesting few hours. Regardless of the plot (aren't ballet and thriller mutually exclusive?), I am eager to check it out.

Cinema can be very exciting for a designer to translate into a room. Who hasn't been inspired by classics such as Breakfast at Tiffany's and Pillow Talk? If any of you recall Joan Crawford's bathtub in The
Women, you are right there with me! Today
we'll let Black Swan inspire a dinner party...
