The Shining

So today I was home for lunch and happened upon this movie playing on TV.  I know it is a strange movie, but I can't help but love it.  If you've never seen it, I highly suggest you get your paws on a copy of it asap.  I spent the better part of a whole semester watching, discussing and researching this movie and one of the things I love the most is the way the hotel is decorated.  Don't get me wrong, some of it is hideous and most of it is dated but I just love it. 

I love the purple..and the steps..

As I am writing this post, husband asked what I was looking at and when I said, "pictures of the shining" he said, "I love the way it's all decorated" OMG, we are meant to be!  I almost lost my shit.
Anyway, although I couldn't find all my fave pics I will show a few.

So grand..love it

I think part of the reason I love this movie is because it is set in a hotel, and I am a huge fan of extravagent hotels.  I also love things with history and a story and the hotel in The Shining has lots of history.  Here are some of my fave shots, all obtained through this website.  He has some very good observations about the film, if you are interested!

The wall sconces, pictures, chandeliers...

 

 

I know it's a little strange, but really and truly I love the inside of the "hotel".  It resonates with me and I'm not entirely sure why.
