The new film Atonement which comes out this week and stars Keira Knightley and James McAvoy is partially set in British countryside of 1935. The New York Times had an interesting article this week about the Shropshire Mansion "Stokesay" that was used as the setting for part of the movie. This late 1800's foreboding Victorian manse is owned by Caroline Magnus, who, along with her brother, unexpectedly inherited the estate fifteen years ago from an elderly aunt. Although she was single (40 at the time), living in London with friends, a boyfriend and a budding career in counseling, she decided to give it all up to move in and take care of the old place.

Jonathan Player for the New York TimesFar and away the most hits I get are from people searching for everything (and I do mean everything) from the set decor of the movie "Something's Gotta Give", which I've blogged about before. And, of all the hits, Google searches and emails, the majority are searches for information on the artist R. Kenton Nelson. Several of his pieces were used in the set of the movie - some from Diane Keaton's personal collection. However, clearly director Nancy Meyers is a fan, as another work can be seen in Mel Gibson's characters bathroom in the Nancy Meyers film "What Women Want".

"Stockbridge at Christmas" set in Stockbridge, MA, home of the Normal Rockwell Museum. My parents own a signed print of this painting, which I have my eye on!
