Sex and the City 2: Carrie and Big’s Apartment

Sex and the City 2 hits screens this Thursday, May 27th, and it’s time to catch up with our favorite four girls, New York City, beautiful clothes and as always, the incredible shoes. Of course, we’re also dying to see the set design, so we snagged a sneak peek of Carrie and Big’s new apartment.

SATC2-Carrie-Big-Kitchen

SATC2-Apartment-Dining-Room

The dining room and kitchen combine a variety of patterns and textures — from the blue tile to the disc chandelier, this space just works. Check out more chandeliers like this at 1stdibs and Kaboodle.

SATC2-Apartment-Living-Room

I’m completely in love with this retro coffee table — must have! [Update: One of  our fab readers found the coffee table. It's from Poltrona Frau. Go tina triantou!]

SATC2-Apartment-Sitting-Area

A touch of traditional in an urban setting: classic floral window treatments and Art Deco club chairs.

SATC2-Apartment-Closet

Always my favorite space when it comes to Carrie: the closet. I love how the right side is romantic and feminine for Carrie, while Big’s side is streamlined and masculine.

  3. I love the oval blue tiles and want them in my kitchen for a backsplash. I wonder though if those little circles would collect dust and grease too much.
