"Gilmore Girls" will be ending tonight, & I just realized that I haven’t written about Lorelai’s home makeover. I guess I better hurry if I’m going to write this, we have no time, no time people. Actually we have about 5 hours & 43 minutes, not that I’m counting.
Like everything else when the new creators took over the show, things got a little spruce. Paris got highlights in her hair, even though she’s totally not the highlight kind of person. The Gilmore house was changed quite a bit, even though it hadn’t really been touched for 5 or 6 years. The vintage kitchen tiles are suddenly a little peppier, Lorelei’s bedroom is completely different. Plus, there was another makeover when Lorelai got rid of everything that Luke had touched after they had broken up.
However, it just wasn’t kept true to the Gilmore name. The look is very uncluttered. That’s so not Gilmore, they always have monkey lamps around the house, & rabbi statues. Lorelai was very excited that she was going to buy a new bedroom set, but it was much uglier, & older looking than the one that Luke inherited that caused such a fuss. I’ll admit that they tried to be true to the Gilmores & kept the new furniture vintage looking, but like everything else in this season, it just missed the mark. The Gilmore have style, they live in a home, look how amazingly the Dragonfly Inn is decorated. Maybe it’s a metaphor for Lorelai’s empty life, but I don’t want a metaphor, I want pretty. I feel like the house doesn’t have the soul in it that it once did. I just hope that the turtle with the key in it is still on the porch.
