Casa Gia Mission-I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry

It’s time for another reader suggestion: I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry. Thanks to e-mails from readers BreAnne and Erin, I rented this movie just so that I could see Jessica Biel’s apartment. Erin even has plans to redecorate her own home based on this movie, so hopefully we can help her out.



If 20-something lawyers in Chicago live in lofts just like Alex’s (Jessica Biel), then hand over the LSAT study guides. The open floor plan, designed by production designer, Perry Andelin Blake, and set designer, Gary Fettis, is loosely segmented into sleeping, living, dressing, and work areas. My favorite? Definitely the gorgeous Colette bed in natural alabaster linen that is fit for a princess. Let’s top it with a large floral print duvet such as the flowering quince, musette, or serafina. Accent the bed with multiple layers of pillows, including Thomas Paul’s flora orange silk twill or notNeutral’s triton pillow in blue.

Beside the bed is a mirrored nightstand similar to the mimi antiqued mirror chest. The harriet lamp will be perfect for some late night reading. Display all of your treasured statues, photos, and other keepsakes on several lack wall shelves.



My next favorite is the open garment rack in the dressing area. Now you would have to make sure you have a killer wardrobe since your clothes are out on display all of the time. Tidiness is also a must. But if you need to shove a few things away before guests come over, a beautiful pewter green painted armoire may be the perfect spot. Slip your heels on while sitting on the jasper chair upholstered in dorien ice fabric. And while we’re talking about seating, either the antwerp armchair or the lily pink slipper chair would work well in the living room.

Finally, the artwork on the icy blue walls and exposed brick definitely deserves some attention. A sepia-toned print of Babe Ruth hangs in the entryway, opposite an autumn leaves painting like escape.
