The wallpaper, in my opinion, is the main element in Summer's room. It is blue and white, with an oriental illustration, displaying some houses, trees, river ...

I searched for this wallpaper all over the internet, but couldn't find anything! One day I tried the Google Goggles app, and it showed me, magically, the site where they sold that wallpaper, but unfortunately the store no longer sells that pattern .. I contacted the company, talking about my interest in buying the art, but they didn't even know who the author was. :-(

So I had to draw the wallpaper from scratch! It was very difficult, but it became very beautiful! In the future I will try one of these shops that make custom wallpapers, and I will order a few meters. While this is not possible, I decided to do a Photoshop to see how it would look! ;-) ;-)

Note: A few days later, strolling through an antique store, I came across a porcelain with the same oriental print. I found that this pattern is called "Blue Willow". It seems that the graphic tells the story of a couple who are kind of a Chinese "Romeo and Juliet", they die and become two birds. Tragically romantic.

Decoration of the day 109

Summer's apartment appears in 3 times in history, in every scene the arrangement of objects is different. I analyzed multiple takes to get each item exactly right. Some we barely notice, because they only appear for a few seconds (but of course, I did notice them, haha!)

 ***

When Tom goes for the first time to Summer's apartment, you can see it's still a bit messy, because she had just moved. Many boxes in the corners. (I think it's strange that her apartment is still messy even after having moved for so long :-P).

The beautiful wallpaper got my attention. The sideboard has a little vase, a golden little cage, a Buddha, some picture frames... but for me, the most beautiful item was the tsuru tree!

This scene appears very quickly, it's when he looks at the Ringo Starr drawing. You can see better some items from the table, like white candlesticks, a wicker box, shells, and glass candle holders.

In this scene we can barely see the dresser. The most remarkable item in this scene is the old keys frame.

In the coming weeks I will make a few posts about things that appeared in this decoration and that caught my attention, such as the wallpaper, vases, tsuru tree, dressing table.
