apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time


Look! The Apartment in 27 Dresses

070708_27dressliving.jpgGuilty pleasure: Cheesy romantic comedies. When we finally got around to watching 27 Dresses over the weekend, we spent more time checking out Jane's apartment than all of her horrendous bridesmaid dresses. We'd say it's a pretty extraordinary (and unbelievably expensive in real life?) New York apartment. More photos after the jump...

Living Room with an antique blue velvet couch.

Heigl's character Jane keeps a desk and a seafoam green Eames office chair in the living area.

Mixing a modern element (stainless steel countertop) with a traditional display of pretty dishes.

Probably the most well-known shot in the entire movie: Jane's closet in the hallway, bursting with ugly bridesmaid dresses.

Thank you for posting this! When I saw the movie, I too spent more time looking at her lovely apartment. Any chance you can get a picture of the tiled floor in the entry way? That really inspired me, but I couldn't find a photo of it online.

Hate to burst anybody's bubble, but this apartment was a set in Vancouver. What a lovely apartment it would make, though!

Isnt that the same apartment they used in Enchanted? The structure looks very similar.

Can anyone identify the chair that Heigl is sitting on in the fourth picture from the top?

This annoys me - middle America sees movies and TV shows like this and thinks there are huge NY apartments available for an assistant's salary (and they can also afford to fill it with lovely furniture!) The only things worse are the apts on Friends & Seinfeld - rent control aside, they were all unemployed half the time! Grrrr.

What about those shades in the very first picture and again where she's sitting at her desk? Maybe it was just me, but I wanted to know where I could get those when I saw the movie.

Anyone know who made them??

I've seen an apartment that big and pretty in Manhattan before.

An architect I know and his lawyer wife rent it in Alphabet City for $4,600 a month.

so yeah, assistant's salary? not so much.
It makes my brain hurt to think how much that place would be in the West Village.
Hell, it'd be $2000 on the border of Brooklyn and Queens.

Speaking of the apartment in Enchanted...beautiful! As much fun to look at as Patrick Dempsey.

willswager, look around online. target used to carry that chair. it's out there. try walmart, bb&b, those sorts of shops.

a friend of mine scored a very large 1br above times square. the previous tenant had been in it for decades with rent control. she got in at $1500 (in '99). she was an assistant but had saved mucho $$ as a legal secretary. having that high rent motivated her to go for bigger jobs.

Lady J, I lived in an apartment that all my friends thought was great, but I'd agree that not much about those photos is realistic except the bitty fridge. I know people whose parents have lived there for 40-50 years. They are the ones with the pre-war apts like this. One guy in my MBA class said he deserved something for having lived in NYC his whole life....me, I moved back to So Cal after 9 yrs living in 450 sq ft, smaller than my freshman year apt. I said "2 college degrees and I'm the dishwasher???"

MargaretR - oh get over it. Whoever thinks NYC is cheap because of what's on TV is just dumb.
And that apartment would be 3000 in my city, which is Stinktown, USA, where noone makes any money.
