Get the Look: Zooey Deschanel's Bedroom in 500 Days of Summer No celebrity endorsement implied.

After much anticipation, I finally saw 500 Days of Summer and loved it! Aside from the easy, romantic soundtrack, hip wardrobes, and counterintuitively hopeful plot, I fell for the movie's interiors, which are charming, inspiring, and easy to reproduce. In the film, Summer (Zooey Deschanel) is a recent transplant, and still has a few boxes sitting unpacked in her apartment. She also has plenty of interesting, vintage artwork in ornate gold frames, some well-traveled knickknacks, and as you might expect from any good indie flick, some cool posters. The most noticeable element of her apartment (a studio, I think) is the blue toile wallpaper you see upon entrance. French toile patterns date back to the 17th century, and they saw a rejuvenation in popularity about 10 years ago, when an antique or country look in interiors became popular. It's unusual to see it used in a city apartment, let alone that of a young woman. But somehow it works flawlessly for Summer, who rides around in a bicycle with a wicker basket, and is seen in conservative ensembles like wide-legged trousers with a vest (a girlish Annie Hall) or delicate, 1940s-style sundresses. To learn how to get the look of this room, read more.

You can find a similar blue toile paper by the Wallpaper Company at Home Depot. But, Thibaut Design is also known for making beautiful toiles.
A streamlined iron framed bed with a bit of a vintage feel to it is key. The Pottery Barn Savannah Bed & Headboard ($249-799) is a close match. Summer has strung Christmas tree lights on the frame of hers, giving it a romantic, ambient look when lit. Her nearly white bedding has a subtle pattern, giving it a well-washed, antique look. And, a patchwork throw pillow has nostalgic style. Here are a few products to help you get the look. Source

Am I crazy or are those closet doors the exact same as the ones in her "The Feel of Cotton" commercial? Casa?

They are not exact, but yes, they are both French doors.

I fell in love with Summer's bedsheets believe it or not - the white with the light blue print pattern of mushrooms.

I've looked all over the place and can't find anything like it (IKEA too). Any ideas?

My oh my. I am simply in love with 500 Days of Summer. From the design aspects to the chosen actors. Everything was simply perfect. I loved Summer's room and at the moment I am trying to establish a set 'theme'. I am 17 years young living in Australia with my folks and don't have that much money to compensate for a full throttle make over. I am finding it hard to stay with a theme, I love the whole vintage, odd theme, but I dont know how to do it. I have all these photo poster things on my walls as a temporay thing until I get enough money to purchase wallpaper or something. Those these tips are fantastic to reproduce Summer's room, do you have any tips for me on how to cheaply find little vintage one off's to decorate my room?
