Bird hook

Summer has a bird hook at her apartment's entrance. It's a hook to hang keys, coats, purses... Mine was bought at Etsy, and has two cute birds. It's not equal to hers, but it has a hook, it has birds, and it is white. So it counts :D

Fireplace

Going back to early in the movie... on the first time Tom visits Summer's apartment, you can see over the fireplace some objects:  a frame with Van Gogh-like picture, a frame with some voodoo dolls, a pile of books with a metal butterfly over it.

This was one of the last things I did, because I didn't have any item like that. Until a day I found a buttetfly just like that one in a mall, and then I strived to get everything! hehe

For the Van Gogh picture I used a golden frame. The voodoo dolls I bought in a New Orleans shop, and the buttefly is from Zara Home. I think they end up very similar to the movie!

The art frames

Summer's apartment has many references to famous artists. The first picture that appears is this. It appears to be a street, but I could not identify the author.

Here, a picture that looks like Van Gogh's Sunflowers series.

There are many frames near the fireplace. A landscape and a vase of colorful flowers. I also could not identify any of them. :-(

On the coffee table these objects are arranged in a funny way, that is reference to the picture "the Son of Man" by Rene Magritte.

In this scene, the picture in the background is the Blue Vase, from Cezanne. And if anyone finds out what are the other pictures, please let me know, I am curious. :-P

Earrings

Summer's earrings appear discreetly in some close-ups. They are two silver ringlets with some texture. I bought mine in a thrift store. They are lovely!

The heart shaped birthmark

Tom says he loves the heart-shaped birthmark Summer has in her neck. It's actually Zooey's real birthmark! It can be seen in many pictures of her.

Since I'm just a little bit crazy about this movie, I made a small tattoo with the same birthmark shape as Summer/Zooey. This way I can remember that love is the main ingredient to do anything right!

Blue fairylight - Part 2

Continuing the fairylights saga!

After having painted the lights on the color I wanted, I was very satisfied with the result. Up to the point where they stopped working. Ouch! Besides having to buy new lights, I would have to paint them all over again. Bummer :-(

So I decided to buy those lights in the correct color from the start. It is very hard to find this exact shade of blue, even more outside the Christmas season (that was in July!)... -__-

But I did find them at Amazon. And they actually look pretty nice!

Blue fairylight - Part 1

Since we're close to Christmas, I will talk about the lights Summer's bedroom!

In the scene you can see in the background the lights on the headboard. I tried to buy one, but damn, it was VERY blue! I felt inside of a spaceship! Look at it! :-P

The lights of the movie were much softer, kind of a light blue ... I looked in many shops, but unfortunately I couldn't find this blue shade (seriously why is it so hard to find light blue fairylights??) XP

I thought about buying colorful cellophane paper and wrap every lamp with it, but I also did not find cellophane in this color, argh! It tried to paint it with glaze, but also failed. Since I am stubborn, I remembered about paint used for stained glass. And then it worked!

I bought some white lights, and I painted one by one with blue stained glass paint (gave two color coats to show up). I put the lights on the clothesline to dry from one day to another.

Look the final result after it was done! Better right? ;-)
