Hello and Good Day. We love movies. We grew up watching movies. We grew up watching old movies. We grew up watching Alfred Hitchcock movies. Hitchcock's movies were full of style. The clothes, the sets, and the details all influenced us. (Who knew what a Mark Cross overnight case was until Rear Window?) We agreed that Rear Window, North by Northwest and Vertigo entertained us visually. And Oh, what a lucky break, they are all in Big Bold Bright Color. (Don't panic, we'll do one on black and white, too!) Whew! Enjoy the show.
Rear Window The ultimate.
Vertigo God, Donna loves this coat!
North by Northwest Great red dress, a martini and Cary Grant. Sigh...
Vertigo Cashmere sweater and an artists' studio apartment in San Francisco. P.S. Donna use to have those glasses
Vertigo Little details, big impact.
North by Northwest Is there anything more stylish than initialed matchbooks?
Rear Window YES! A Mark Cross overnight case!
North by Northwest Who wouldn't want a furry chair?
Vertigo The studio every artist wants. (the studio and that coat)
The entire set of Rear Window is fabulous but only looking out the rear window. Unless we can redecorate, Jimmy Stewart's apartment is not so much. As a result we offer this video to show the courtyard and the musician's apartment. Then we come around to Grace Kelly. She is at her most fashionable wearing loafers, rolled up jeans and a red shirt. She is one of those women that will always look Crisp (Patty is another, always Crisp). She is Our Style.
Warning, this is the end of the movie! If you haven't seen it, shame on you and don't watch this clip. Go watch the movie. Thanks ever so. Good evening, Mr. Hitchcock.
Hello and Good Day...We went fishing in New Bedford, MA last week and our catch of the day was New England Demolition & Salvage on Cove Street. We entered utopia and our mouths fell open but not with chatter. It features everything you would want to Re-build, Re-do, and Re-novate (clever, eh?). New England Demolition & Salvage recycles vintage architectural details and we wanted every one of them. Here are some of the photos from our day, which we post with their permission.
We said Red tub, not Redrum!
Come on in.
Patty wants to slide these over to her house.
These doors lit our fire.
Someday this will be Donna's shower door.
Oops... wrong wish list.
For those of you with an empty church.
The radiating city.
Stairway to Porcelainland.
Alien light fixtures. Eat your heart out Sarge Weaver!
