First off, nice job on designing the set for "The Good Wife". I have been a 粉丝 since early on, and 爱情 her apartment! I I'd like to know what 颜色 and paint type 你 are using in the living area. There is a beautiful green if I recall...my place is not unlike the set so I'd like to look at the 颜色 to see if they'd work as well in my space.
The living room is wallpapered and unfortunately that paper has been discontinued.
Alicia's bedding has been discontinued but try www.frenchquarterlinens.com for similar beautiful choices.
I would 爱情 to know Alicia's bedroom 墙 color and manufacturer. Also, it is a set, right, and not a Chicago apartment?
你 are correct. Alicia's apartment is a 3000 sq ft. set on a sound stage in Brooklyn NY. We use Chicago backdrops out the windows of the set.
Where are the cabinets that are in the kitchen?
The 厨房 cabinets were custom made 由 our set carpenters.
Where can I get the prints with the different Chicago 街, 街道 names (e.g. Grant, Michigan, etc.) that hang in the office?
Those were designed specifically for the set and we had them made.

There seems to be so many little personal touches around the set, especially in the Florrick's apartment, what was the process 你 went through to achieve that, did 你 collaborate closely with the actors, directors, writers, etc 或者 were 你 给 a certain amount of free will?
As a set decorator for over 25 years I strive to create an environment as rich and layered as possible. The Florrick 首页 had to tell a story that initially did not include Peter (Chris Noth) so the 首页 was centered on Alicia (Julianna Margulies) and her two children. The family had to downsize when they moved from a larger 首页 but we worked to create a comfortable environment primarily for the two teenage children. I work closely with the production designer Stephen Hendrickson as well as the producers and 显示 creators Robert and Michelle King. We have added 更多 layers and specific items each episode as the script dictates. As the set decorator I am 给 a certain amount of free will to give the characters history and make choices for them.
I was particularly admiring the planter in Alicia's 厨房 that's plainly visible when she's talking to Peter the morning after in the 心 episode. It looks as though it's a brown/grey color with maybe a 雏菊, 黛西 设计 on it? Do 你 have the maker of it 或者 know where I can go to order the same one?
The planter was purchased at an antique store I 商店 at frequently called John Koch Antiques in NYC. It is one of a kind. They have many other beautiful items at www.kochantiques.com
Who are the artists 或者 names of the paintings in the law offices? The large abstracts?
The scenic artists who work on our 显示 have created the artwork based on research and direction from myself and the production designer.
I am trying to create the living room in my house. I found the sofa in the living room but would appreciate any help about the chair and ottoman maker and colors. Also, 爱情 the 壁纸 and paint 颜色 on the walls in the living room. Any help on this room would be so appreciated!!!
The chair is from Baker but it is an old piece and not available anymore. There are chairs with a similar shape at many fine furniture stores. Look for one that is larger in scale instead of a petite chair.
The 台, 办公桌 is an antique one of a kind piece from John Koch Antiques. There is a similar 台, 办公桌 of metal tressle legs with a glass 最佳, 返回页首 available at Find in Brooklyn, NY. 你 can reach them at 718-369-2705. Ask for Dennis.
I 爱情 the 壁纸 in Stern Lockhart and Gardner, I want that for my office. Where can I find it?
The 壁纸 is Delphos #KSC 33452 link
