Dream Movie Kitchens: Because I Said So, Milly Wilder

With Mother’s Day coming up, I was reminded of the movie, Because I Said So, starring Diane Keaton as Daphne Wilder, the overbearing mother to daughter Milly Wilder, played by Mandy Moore.  It’s not my all time favorite romantic comedy but I find myself re-watching because both the mother and daughter, cake artist and caterer respectively, have really colorful and inviting kitchens that I would love to have.

Take a look at Milly’s culinary spaces.

Teaching a cooking class in her work kitchen for her catering company, Good Enuf to Eat.  I love the orange and lime striping that go across the room.  I also noticed the colors get picked up as well in the grated cheese and herbs on the chopping boards.

Inside Ina Garten’s Barn

I’m so glad I was in NY the right week to see this.  Ina Garten’s barn, where she now films her show Barefoot Contessa, is House Beautiful’s Kitchen of the Year, so they created a replica at Rockefeller Plaza.  The whole plaza was actually pretty lively with all that was going on.
