First off, nice job on designing the set for "The Good Wife". I have been a người hâm mộ since early on, and tình yêu her apartment! I I'd like to know what màu sắc and paint type bạn 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 màu sắc 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 tình yêu to know Alicia's bedroom tường color and manufacturer. Also, it is a set, right, and not a Chicago apartment?
bạn 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 phòng bếp, nhà bếp cabinets were custom made bởi our set carpenters.
Where can I get the prints with the different Chicago đường phố, street 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 bạn went through to achieve that, did bạn collaborate closely with the actors, directors, writers, etc hoặc were bạn được trao 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 trang chủ had to tell a story that initially did not include Peter (Chris Noth) so the trang chủ was centered on Alicia (Julianna Margulies) and her two children. The family had to downsize when they moved from a larger trang chủ 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 hiển thị creators Robert and Michelle King. We have added thêm layers and specific items each episode as the script dictates. As the set decorator I am được trao 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 phòng bếp, nhà bếp that's plainly visible when she's talking to Peter the morning after in the tim, trái tim episode. It looks as though it's a brown/grey color with maybe a giống cúc, daisy thiết kế on it? Do bạn have the maker of it hoặc know where I can go to order the same one?
The planter was purchased at an antique store I cửa hàng 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 hoặc names of the paintings in the law offices? The large abstracts?
The scenic artists who work on our hiển thị have created the artwork based on research and direction from myself and the production designer.

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.
