The Holiday (2006) is Nancy Meyers' latest romantic comedy that is known as much for its set as it is for the stars and story. It's a sweet story of two professional women, trying to sort out their personal lives by switching homes - a contemporary in trendy LA and a sweet, picture book English country cottage. As with
Something's Gotta Give, Ms. Meyers' and longtime set designer Jon Hutman, created sets that are stunningly beautiful and chock full of personal details that help flesh out the characters whose lives they represent.
Played by Kate Winslet, Iris' country cottage is comfy and cozy, the embodiment of English country charm. Nothing is matchy-matchy, as a matter of fact, nothing matches. It's a little chaotic, yet it hangs together. Kind of like Iris.
Looking for the English country cottage lifestyle? Here are a few pieces to help you get that look:
