Have you seen Showtime's latest offering of Secret Diary of a Call Girl? When we first heard of it, we thought it was some late night porno, but turns out? It's actually like...hmm...Sex and the City in London...if Carrie were a high-class prostitute. Originally from Britain, this show stars Billie Piper as Belle, the girl-next-door who grew up to be a call girl for the upper crust. Plot points aside, we were intrigued with Belle's London "studio" flat: a mix of girly jewel toned patterns (it's almost Delia's-esque!) with some high end pieces and vintage finds. Take look at some screen shots after the jump...

Belle's bedroom area: Love the mix of turquoise wall with the jewel-toned head and foot boards. Also, the purple curtains add a nice dramatic touch...

The entryway: Is that a blik wall decal there?

The red wall with the kimono gives this flat a more sensual vibe then, say, a beige wall with a console table and a seaside painting...Steps lead up to the bedroom area.

Interestingly enough, Belle's living and dining area where she and her friends--not clients--hang out is painted a cheery warm golden yellow; as opposed to her bedroom area which is done up with cooler shades of purples and blues.

The dining room table looks like a flea market find and the light fixture vintage, but the chairs look like Bertoia wire dining chairs.

The kitchen and bedroom are visually linked, thanks to Belle's matching purple enamel refrigerator.

Loved Billie in Doctor Who!
I wanted to major in "Upper Crust Call Girl" in college but my mom wouldn't let me.

wow. i'd heard about this show but didn't realize it was rose from dr who! (... who i also loved, michael.) that's crazy!
ahh, sigh. me too, jeremy. me, too.
I think there's a chaise in her yellow kitchen. Her livingroom features a gray couch and is at the base of the steps to the bedroom area. That's why I'm not sure whether or not it's a studio.
this is a great series, and one of my favorites, and a lil taste from home for me.
LOL Jeremy
I'm sorry but *what* is that first picture of? I keep seeing something very obscene.
She's waxing her leg.

I have noticed that she also has a draped glass side table that I believe has been featured on AT before: http://www.furniturestoreblog.com/2007/08/17/danish_modern_from_essey_of_denmark.html
Very stylish
The blog this was based on (google Belle de Jour) was hard to stop reading, I must admit.
Agreed. LOVED Belle de Jour's blog. she also wrote a book or two if I recall...
I want that fridge
You mean Carrie wasn't a high-class prostitute?
har har har.
funky, i like it.
I love Belle's bathroom, particularly the industrial looking medicine cabinet. And also the wallpaper in the kitchen. So stylish.
Please someone tell me where I can purchase the lamp on Belle's bedside table.
Does anyone know where to find the fabric on her headboard and footboard? I have a friend looking for it feverishly....
Does anybody know what kind of chairs are in her bedroom? They're fantastic.
CAN ANYONE HELP PLEEEASE!
In Season 3 Belle's kitchen has a mint green retro american fridge in it. It is very cool with great handles - quite different from the (over done) smeg fridge! Does anyone know what make it is???
The branding is not in focus so I can't tell... would be eternally grateful if anyone can help!
Hi All
Please let me know where I can get this lady's black table lamp in her living room next to her sofa.
thanks
Where can you find a bed like that?
