Step Inside Carrie Bradshaw's Glamorous Gramercy Park Dream!
EXCLUSIVE: Inside Carrie Bradshaw's Lavish Gramercy Park Townhouse - The Ultimate SATC Fan Fantasy Come True!
Get ready for a dose of nostalgia and glamour as we take you on an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of Carrie Bradshaw's (Sarah Jessica Parker) breathtaking four-story townhouse, located in the heart of Manhattan's posh Gramercy Park neighborhood. This stunning Greek Revival-style mansion has captured the hearts of fans worldwide, and for good reason! With its opulent decor, stunning architectural details, and a dash of old-school glamour, Carrie's pad is the ultimate SATC fan fantasy come true.
Production designer Miguel Lopez Castillo and longtime set decorator Karin Wiesel Holmes gave Architectural Digest an unprecedented glimpse into the inner sanctum of Carrie's home, revealing a treasure trove of iconic memorabilia and nostalgic nods to her beloved West Village apartment. And let's just say, fans are going wild!
As we step inside Carrie's shoes closet (yes, you read that right - shoes closet!), we're treated to a jaw-dropping display of designer footwear, including the iconic Manolo Blahnik 'D'Orsay' heels she wore in Season 6. But wait, there's more! Fans will also spot her repurposed ballet costume from the powerful Series Finale episode "An American Girl in Paris - Part Deux." And let's not forget those stunning silver pumps - a Maison Margiela 'Bourgeoise Spectator Tabi' pair worn as recently as Season 3's "Silent Mode" for a Tiffany & Co. event with her BFF Charlotte (Kristin Davis).
But what's truly astounding is the sheer level of detail and homage paid to the original series. From Carrie's office, featuring original furniture from her Perry Street apartment, to her main closet, tiny kitchen, and even the guest room dedicated to her beloved cat Shoe (Lotus), fans are treated to a masterclass in production design.
As news of the behind-the-scenes tour spread like wildfire on social media, fans took to the comments section of TheScholarlyNote.com's official Instagram account to share their thoughts. @silvanogon wrote: "This show is horrible now. The only thing saving it is this beautiful home. Thank you!" @mia_lips sleuthed: "The Gucci envelope clutch is from Season 5, episode where [Carrie] rings the bell at the Stock Exchange!"
Of course, not everyone was a fan of the tour. @berzinsky quipped: "Not a single sofa in an enormous house. The symbolism is real - she will never share her life and will die alone." Meanwhile, @jford8545 lamented: "I wish she cared as much about the storyline as she does the trinkets in a dish on a table."
Despite the mixed reactions, fans are still buzzing over the latest season of And Just Like That... Currently sitting at a Rotten Tomatoes critic approval rating of 69% (based on 26 reviews) and an audience score of just 31%, it seems that even the most ardent fans are struggling to connect with the show's new direction.
So, what do you think? Is Carrie's Gramercy Park townhouse the ultimate SATC fan fantasy come true, or is there more to the show than meets the eye? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
