" Writer-director Nora Ephron&amp;#039;s latest movie, Julie &amp;amp;amp; Julia (opening August 7), weaves together two memoirs: Julie Powell&amp;#039;s 2005 best seller of the same title and Julia Child&amp;#039;s posthumously published My Life in France. While Meryl Streep nailed Child&amp;#039;s mannerisms, the task of replicating her famed Massachusetts kitchen fell to set decorator Susan Bode Tyson, who spent close to three months scouring the Web, as well as flea markets on two continents, to find just the right props.  1. Cabinets Child&amp;#039;s husband, Paul, picked the blue-green paint used on their cabinets in 1961. It took several tries before the crew mixed the right hue.  2. Knives Tyson scored old carbon-steel knives and a &amp;#039;60s-era mixer and juicer from decodan.com, an online antiques dealer based in the Midwest. 3. Counters To avoid slouching, Child, who was 6&amp;#039;2&amp;quot;, had counters built higher than average. In the film, Streep stands on a platform to appear taller. 4. Oven Tyson&amp;#039;s team spent days trolling craigslist.org to unearth a c. 1960 wall oven. Shipping it from Texas cost more than the stainless unit itself.  5. Peg-Board Tyson reproduced Child&amp;#039;s signature Peg-Board, which featured an outline of her pots and pans so visitors would know where they went.  6. China Child used her Spode Blue Willow dishes almost every day. A Port Jefferson, New York, antiques dealer located a 12-piece set from the 1950s for Tyson.  7. Centerpiece This ceramic fruit basket closely matches Child&amp;#039;s original, which she bought in Moustiers when she lived in France.  8. Dining set Tyson got the pine table and side chairs in Troy, New York. The Norwegian armchair (at the head of the table), proved hard to find, so it was built on set.
