ON THE SET : GOSSIP GIRL'S BASS / VAN DER WOODSEN APPARTEMENT

If you haven't noticed by now, we tend to watch a lot of TV and movies ... the good, the bad , and in this case , the fantastically ridiculous . Luckily , LX.issues magazine beat us to this punch and did a great feature on Gossip Girl's Bass /Van der Woodsen New York Apartment set . If you're a fan of the show and the set decor , check out some photos we pulled after the jump as well as links to all the exclusive information over LX.issues magazine ...

. Living Room done up in red, white, and turquoise. It's a mix of sharp modern lines ( the white sofas, the coffee table ), touches of Asian influence ( red pillows ), and even a glimpse of traditional flair ( like the armchairs ) . And let's not forget the glamour : a pop art portrait and a shrine to the all-mighty Prada.

. The Home Office , complete with an x-base desk featuring drawers that open on both sides , a classic Eames lounge chair covered in what looks like a Missoni chevron fabric ( drool ), and sweeping views of ... a fake New York skyline . ( Fun fact we learned on the Warner Bros . Lot Tour awhile ago : Studios print city scapes on rolls of fabric that when backlit really do give the illusion of city lights ) .


. The Kitchen . Based on the few episodes we've seen , it seems like these characters would be using this area exclusively to store vodka in the freezer . Regardless , we're intrigued by the blue panels ... mainly because we're not sure what they're doing there exactly ...

. This could be our favorite room in the whole place : the dining room has just the right amount of textures and colors . Despite the size of the art on the wall , it's matched close enough to the wall color that it's not obtrusive yet still holds interest . We love the black chandelier, the Cherner chairs , and the marble-topped Danish table . As for the red shag rug , sure it's not practical in a real life setting ... but , uh , doesn't it look nice ?

. And finally : Serena's bedroom . According to the show's stylist , Serena's sense of style was based loosely around Kate Moss' anything goes attitude . Like her wardrobe , Serena's bedroom is mish mash of glamour clichés ( metallic pillows ! Gold satin sheets ! ) , designer statements ( the Bourgie lamp on her nightstand ) , vintage finds ( that nightstand looks like something we'd seen on Craigslist ) , and the unexpected ( gold polka dot panels / headboard ) .

Obviously, nothing says " I'm an Upper East Side reformed-but-relapsed bad girl " like a photo of...glittery eyeshadow!
