{A farmhouse interior}

Yesterday's post about the kitchen from It's Complicated got me thinking about the places I could visit to get this look. The film was shot in America and is based in Santa Barbara, sunny California, so I took to US shores (well, virtually anyway) and after a click or two found Pottery Barn. Now Pottery Barn isn't my favourite interiors store and I'm not normally a fan over their whole collections or their 'looks' each season. However, their latest spring/summer collection called Farmhouse Style is simply lovely, and very fitting for the look of Meryl's fictional home in her latest film. I enjoy being surprised, and the style team over at Pottery Barn have done just that. The lookbook also has some really accessible and achievable tips for getting the look in your own home, but before heading over to the site, check out these stunning visuals...

{It's Complicated, but oh so beautiful}

Recognise the above? You will if you've been to see fab new movie It's Complicated. It's great on so many levels, not least because Meryl Streep stars and anything she touches instantly becomes, well, great. Anyhow, as I watched the film (for the second time!) this weekend at my local cinema, I once again became drawn to the kitchen in Meryl's fictional home. It's bright and airy, yet cosy and comforting at the same time.

I love how the open shelves in the kitchen are stacked with cake stands, plates, bowls and other trinkets. Personally, I would go for the same look but swap the white crockery for some bright, colourful pieces. Like these great bowls from Anthropologie.

And as for the bathroom? Well I adore the colour of the standalone bath coupled with the pared down shelf of sumptuous bathroom goodies. Want to get the look? The Trellick paint from Living Etc's paint range is a pretty close match.
