living in: amelie



Hi loves, today is a very special day for us.  What, please say you didn’t forget…  It’s our one year anniversary of this wonderful, fulfilling, spiritually enriching, soul satisfying (stop me if I get carried away) relationship we have going on here that I like to call living in.  On our first date, we talked about this movie, and since then we’ve had a total of 47 spectacular dates. 47 spectacular dates is hard to top.  No joke, this has been the most consistently loving and stable relationships thus far in my 26 years.  See ex-boyfriends?  I’m not a commitment-phobe after all.

Yours forever,

I’ve always wanted those dog and fowl prints and, even though I knew of the artist from other works, I didn’t make the connection. I’m getting them right now!

So fun! Thanks for all the posts this last year. Just an idea for an upcoming post: Come September. Who doesn’t love retro Italy? :)

amy

Aaagghhh! LOVE this movie, and LOVE this post. Thank you for adding a little bit of sparkly goodness to my day!
P.S. Joyeux anniversaire!

Nancy

This just made my day. I needed a boost after a long night with my newborn. Not only do I consider that to be one of my top 3 favorite movies, but our little girl’s name is Amelie.

Great job!

Amanda

My favorite movie and I actually just bought the Michael Sowa prints for over my bed. :)

Denise

I had no idea this was going on here. Happy anniversary! Rewatched Amelie just a couple nights ago and was going to suggest In The Mood For Love — but you’ve done it! And so many of my favorites (Picnic at Hanging Rock too?) Here’s to another year.

C

Congratulations on the anniversary! Plus, you’re doing the movie I’ve wanted you to do the most. I love those prints (and didn’t even know they were available) and the clock. Great job.

Beth

YEAH! I am so happy – this has made my rather unimpressive day today! Thank you!

Toni

YAY!!!! This made my day! One of the best films of all time and a great roundup to match! Oh, and Happy Anniversary Miss Amy!

Aracely

oh my gosh, this is one of the few CD’s I own, and never get tired of watching it……and ditto to the wonderful suggestion for Hideous Kinky!!!

Bon Anniversaire….spelling??

Ronnie

Leah

i love it!

also i hope one day there will be a bike round up in the near future. the bike features here is amazing.

Kira

I fell in love with Michael Sowa’s works through this movie which is one of my ALL time favorites in every way. I love your write ups and style — happy anniversary! (By the by, I think ‘Cries and Whispers’ or ‘Fanny and Alexander’ or ANY of Ingmar Bergman’s films would be a beautiful addition.)

Brianne

*Brilliant!!* This is my favorite movie ever and it makes a great inspiration…I am buying the Sowa dog print instantly.

Ariel

Thank you! I love Amelie more than so much! Happy anniversary.

Tammy

Catherine

Happy Happy Anniversary!!
This is my favourite movie ever, I’m so pleased you’ve posted this, it brings back lots of happy memories. Thank you <3

Anja Rieger

Happy Anniversary!

I love this film too. The whimsical lamp of Amélie, the pig in the bathrobe holding the shade in his hand, I bought years ago as a birthday present. It is available at inkognito.de like the paintings of Michael Sowa as postcards as well.

Anna Paola

Yeah love this film !!!

There is a special atmosphere in it and love the Amelie’House and especially her bedroom between childhood and Glamour feeling..

Good selection DS* and Happy Birthdat :D

PhillyLass

Love, love, love this post and this movie! This is an automatic bookmark! So amelicious!

Amanda

Amelie is my all time favorite movie! Thanks for the links on the two paintings in her bedroom. Have you watched the director’s cut? Very interesting. It makes you really appreciate the color and all the small detail within the movie.

Kellie

Wonderful! I simply love this movie and all it’s rich color. SO lovely to watch. And the gnome…oh the gnome!

Sealicious

Happy Anniversary – I can’t believe it’s already been a year!!

. . .you’re still the one ;) . . .

gokcen

there must be much more movie themed accessories publishings!
this one is really so nice by the way :)

kiki

My ALL TIME FAVORTIE movie ever!! I can watch this movie for eternity! Love the color direction and cinematography mixed with shy romance. LOVE it. I even named my 4 lb (french) poodle Nino Quincompoix. “nino” for short! ha.

Newly Domesticated

LOVE. I always love the use of green and red in the director’s films. And I always come back week after week for this feature. Congrats on a year of great work, Amy!

Ceci

Happy anniversary! Wondered when you’d do this one! Glad you saved it for the special occasion. :)

Jennifer

Thanks for a wonderful year of “living in”! Love all the production detailing you tracked down for the posts. I requested this last year, and am still hoping you will do a Living In for the wonderful movie “The English Patient”. Between the wartime outfits and all of the accessories and outfits of the desert around the war, it has such beautiful production value I hope you will consider it for the next year.
Congratulations!

miss mouse

Happy Anniversary! And thank you ever so much for doing a Living In for Amelie! I hope you don’t mind that I’ve posted about this on my blog. I just couldn’t resist!

Hannah

Aww love! Just watched Amelie this weekend, such wonderful film and style ideas. Congrats on the anniversary!

Alice

I love the visuals in Amélie so much and the story is wonderful too. It is truly a movie that you can watch an infinite amount of times. I even named my daughter Amélie :)

steph

love!!! thanks to everyone for asking for this! now i would just love to see a living in Science Of Sleep and i will be completely satisfied! Happy Anniversary!

Kersten

A very happy anniversary! Yeah! This made me smile so hard!

Adrian

Amelie looks like Liz Lemon with her Dealbreakers haircut.

Julie

i have been waiting for this day. ;) when i think about what i want my life to look like, i think Amélie. you could not have picked a better living-in to celebrate our glorious first year together. vive le france!

Lauren at Trim NYC

I’ve always been completely enamored with Amelie’s bedroom wallpaper, not to mention the colors in the film and just the whole thing, really. Time for another viewing!

yinette

Finally!!!!!! This was the movie missing for this Section….. Love this movie…. thanks

Camille

Oh Amy, you’ve touched a soft spot here. Amelie has been one of my favourite movies for a long time: it came out when I was 11, and I watched it so much that I knew all the lines!

Karen Longo

Amy, I think you and I were separated at birth, because we have the same taste in movies! Who doesn’t cry when Dominique Bretodeau finds the tin box in the phone booth! Who doesn’t want to ride off on the back of Nino’s motorbike? Who doesn’t want to redecorate their house in shades of red?!

Bridget from Refined Vintage

I missed this one over the summer. I have always loved this movie, so glad to see it was featured here. I love the wall paper that was chosen, it looks very vintage Edwardian, perfect for Amelie’s bedroom.
