Last night I was watching Schitt’s Creek (for the 100th time) and I got an idea to start doing my “pretend client” series using fictional characters from TV/ movies. And who better to kick this concept off than Moira Rose? I figured if Moira were not living in a motel, she’d certainly have a dressing room in which to have nervous breakdowns (the sofa), do her makeup (the vanity) and display her wigs, bags and memorabilia (the faux movie poster). Moira is always in black, so I kept this room pretty stark, modern and dark. Painted black trim, grasscloth wallpaper (called “Bouclé Nights”, which I can TOTALLY hear in Moira’s voice) and lots of gold. The vanity mirror is made of porcupine quills, which feels VERY on brand for Moira as well.
Who else would you want to see used as inspiration for a pretend client space???
- ITEMS NOT CLICKABLE: wallpaper // ceiling wallpaper // movie poster

Love!!! The idea and the selections!! They are spot on for Moira.
Would love to see an inspiration board for Amanda from The Holiday, but 15 years later as a wife and mom.
Love it. Makes me want to see David’s and Alexis’ too!
Moira is my spirit animal! Or at least who I wish I could be sometimes. What about Villanelle from Killing Eve?
Good one! Great show. She has a funky style.
Oh, that is hilarious, however, your design is “wowzer!” We adores “Shitts Creek!!” franki
Anything Miranda Priestly (Devil Wears Prada)! Her Nantucket or Hamptons vacation home, or her new townhouse post divorce in Manhattan.
That porcupine mirror is perfection for Moira!
So fun, I think you nailed it!!
Oooh! love this! You gotta do Agatha Raisin and maybe Rebecca Welton or Keely Jones from Ted Lasso. Mrs Maisel would be fun too.
How about Kate Middleton!❤️
Oh this is soooo good! How about some ideas for Betty Draper as if she were with us today ;)
Beth Dutton’s office from Yellowstone or Davia’s bedroom from Good Trouble
Omg yesss. We need David next please!!
Not Beth… it just blows up or catches on fire!!! 😳
You are clever, stylish, and lots of fun!
Pretend Client ➡️ Rory Gilmore
The mirror: oh my goodness! Now when I see porcupine road kill in my Maine neighborhood, I’ll see it as decor-worthy.
Love this and would love to see a space for Emma!
Daniel Craig & Rachel Weisz, Zendaya
You could totally rock Moira’s look ;-D
Pretend client suggestions: I second the comments to design for Mrs. Maisel and Kate Middleton. Phoebe from Friends, Zoe Kravitz’s character in Big Little Lies and Emily in Paris’s ultra-chic, bad-ass boss also would be amusing.
This is awesome and so fun! For a future edition, how about Erica Barry and Harry Sanborn’s home after they married. Both had amazing places on their own but it would be fun to see how they combined their styles. Or, maybe daughter, Marin’s home?
This made my day! What fun, and you totally nailed it! Here are some ideas for future “clients”:
– Jess and Nick from New Girl, renovating in 2022
– Leslie and Ben’s DC pad from Parks and Rec, in 2022
– How about Jennifer Coolidge’s character from The White Lotus, but her actual home?
– Fleabag after she finds herself and grows up?
– Shiv from Succession after she dumps Tom and has a bachelorette pad?
– Jim and Pam from The Office, after his company hits it big and they are rolling in dough
So fun! Thank you for this bright spot of creativity. :-)
GREAT ones!
Kate Middleton, Meghan Markle, Jennifer Lopez, Sandra Bullock, Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly, Candace Bergen, Oprah.
Karen Walker (Megan Mullally) from Will & Grace.
Scarlet O’Hara modern day-Gone With the Wind
Olivia Pope- Scandal
Miss Elizabeth Bennett, of course. Both her modest bedchamber at Longborough and her honeymoon suite after she finally, finally wed Mr. Darcy (sigh….).
Love it! Love the cabinet. What about Bridgerton?? Sandstone? Fun and fancy.
Sanditon
I am dying, I love this post!! What a fun idea and literally the best person to do! I agree, we need David and Alexis as well!
I love this post! I would suggest uncle baby billy from righteous gemstones. Also, very random and not a scripted show but the French realtor from international house hunters, Adrian Leeds…the one of the red beret. I would love to see her home. I bet it’s fun and quirky.
I LOVE this idea for a series! Moira was the perfect start. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Love the idea! This is spot on for this character. Maybe do a re-do of Emily’s Paris apartment in “ Emily in Paris”
Such a fun idea for a post! How about Marge Sherwood from Talented Mr. Ripley?
Ah…..soo good! One of my favorite characters
nice post
Love this! How about Jennifer Aniston’s character from “The Morning Show,” Renee Russo in “The Thomas Crown Affair,” or Meryl Streep’s newly constructed home that she was working on in “It’s Complicated” – if she ended up with Steve Martin.
Non-fiction? Julia Roberts’ new house in San Francisco on Washington Street
I love color and pattern but this is just stunning, Erin. Love this series!
You nailed it! Love the Pretend series 😊
Christine from Selling Sunset or any of the Golden Girls
WHAT A GREAT IDEA! You are so creative. I would love to see David and Alexis as well!! And Villanelle too! How about Anna Delvey from Inventing Anna? Or Rebekah Neumann from WeCrashed? Or Lily Collin’s character’s home in Windfall (as opposed to her vacation home in the movie)?
