Fictional places I want to live Part Three

This is one is probably very obvious, but here we have it, Carrie Bradshaw's apartment (pre: Sex and the City movie makeover).
I'm sure the noise of the busy New York streets below would drive to me distraction but there is so much character in the old building that it seems like the perfect place to retreat. There are a number of fantastic writing spaces (at the window, on the bed, on any of the mismatched chairs..) and those tree lined streets, heaving with Aidans and Mr Bigs are never far away.
I'd move there in a New York minute.

Fictional places I want to live, part two...

Iris's house from The Holiday, starring Kate Winslet and Cameron Diaz
This would  be my weekend retreat - strictly a no kids/ no husband zone. I would sit on the squishy chairs with his feet on the squishy footstool and the fire roaring in the hearth and I would write til my heart was content. I'd take a break every now and again just to wander around the wild garden or maybe heat some scones on the aga and then I would maybe take a snooze on the sofa with some some soft music playing gently in the background.
I don't drink tea very often but this house would make me a tea drinker. It's just oozes cosiness and relaxation and my imagination could run wild there. The bookshelves add to it, of course. I've always wanted a room just for me with loads of book shelves. When I win the Lotto this will be my purchase, I promise.

Fictional places I want to live, part one

I give you Stars Hollow
















I could die happy here! A part of me may long for a minimalist chic interior but a bigger part of me longs for something just liek this - complete with porch and swing. I think I may have watched too much Waltons growing up.
Stars Hollow, from The Gilmore Girls, is a gorgeous, quaint town where everyone knows your name and people call you ma'am. Everything seems to be decked in fairy lights and there is a magical feel to the whole place.
The name adds to the magic. It sure beats Derry/ Londonderry/ Stroke City anyway.
