Holly Golightly

No one could make a bath tub look as glam as Holly Golightly in the film Breakfast at Tiffany's. Her studio apartment was perfectly furnished for a party, as in hardly any furniture at all, and had just a vanity (every surface covered with perfume), an iron bed, and a sawed-in-half bathtub with a purple cushion seat. Old crates served as extra seating and tables, and suitcases were every corner, as if any second she could pack up and go. There were all these little oddities around the apartment as well, like a giant weather vane, a life-size donkey with fruit baskets, and a pinata- all probably remnants from parties. The apartment was nomadic, quirky, and still somehow chic- a perfect reflection of Holly Golightly.

Here are a couple websites that make tub loveseats inspired by the film:
www.flavourdesign.com, www.reestore.com
However, they are soooo expensive, and I would just rather make my own.
Anyway, I found some other Holly Golightly apartment style (most of it affordable), and also included some film stills to spark your memory (click to make either larger).

I like this version because it's cotton (you can throw it in the wash), and it's affordable . However Jonathan Adler makes a beautiful vegan zebra rug version that is so close to the one in the movie. (jonathanadler.com)
