Decorating a la Ms. Bradshaw

With only nine days left until the release of the Sex and the City Movie, I couldn't help but watch some old episodes!!

While taking a closer look at the interiors of Carrie's apartment, I noticed that she appears to have reupholstered her bench in Peter Dunham's classic Fig Leaf!

The decor in Carrie's apartment was meticulously selected by Production Designer Jeremy Conway. In an HBO article, he explains "We realized that what Carrie has in her apartment is not what she's all about. She's not a decorator, but there's definitely a sense of style in the way she's put things together." The walls are a soft shade of celery green washed with a lavender iridescent glaze.

Conway found many of the pieces in Carrie's apartment in local New York flea markets and thrift stores! He wanted to achieve a "lived in" look, and didn't want her apartment to be perfectly neat and tidy since, after all, "We know that Carrie would have some deadline or date to meet. She doesn't have the time to neatly arrange her products or stack her shoes in the closet. She's more of a 'Leave 'em where they fall' kind of woman. It's what we like to call organized chaos."

Carrie always had a Diptyque "Baies" candle near her bedside (as seen above in my blurry photo!)
