Hooked on Houses

Hooked on Houses I went to see New Moon today. They used the exterior of the Cullens' house from the first film but the interiors from the new house I showed you yesterday. The movie was better than I expected it to be after reading the bad reviews. Anyone else seen it?

Unless you’ve been living in a cave, you know that New Moon, the sequel to the wildly popular Twilight series, hits theaters Friday. Anyone planning to see it with thousands of screaming girls (and women) the first day?

I have heard it was good. I was sick and missed the midnight showing but lots of my friends went. They said it was so much better than the first movie.

Hooked on Houses I have serious writer's studio envy after seeing the barn that Lane Smith works in. Someday I'll write a bestseller and get myself one... :-)

Children’s book author and illustrator Lane Smith lives in a charming 200-year old farmhouse in Connecticut. Behind the farmhouse is Smith’s writing studio in the barn, which I’m even more in love with. ...

I wanted the house to be the same as in the books. I am in a group attending tonight's midnight premier and our "coven" ages range from 14-58!

Hooked on Houses Researching "Meet Me in St. Louis" for a Movie Monday post. It was based on a true story, but the real Smith family moved to NYC (in the movie, Mr. Smith changes his mind--they stay put). They never even got to see the World's Fair! Also--tried to track down the actual house on Kensington Ave, but it was demolished in '94. Sad.

Beth--you're so right. My aunt lives in St. Louis and took me on an historic home tour with her one Christmas. I thought I'd died and gone to house heaven! Too bad I wasn't blogging then to share some of the tour with all of you.

Hooked on Houses There are some Movie Monday posts I write for myself, realizing that there might not be a lot of other people as interested in them as I am. I was so surprised to wake up this morning and see that I'm not alone in my love for "Mr. Blandings"! :)

I have always been crazy about old movies. When I was growing up, my mom and I used to watch them together on Saturday afternoons. To this day I’ll stop to watch anything with Cary Grant in it. And I can never resist a story that revolves around a house! So it makes sense that Mr. ...

That's so cool. I, too, love old movies. Some of them I watch just to watch the houses. And the Mr. Blandings movie is on my bookshelf. I haven't watched it yet, but I think I will soon. Thanks for the inspiration.

Hooked on Houses I hate it when there's a good sale going on, but the only sizes they have left in the store are XS and XL with nothing in between. I need to either start eating more or stop eating altogether because I could get some great deals!

See this fireplace wall decked out for fall? Four kinds of Sticviews were used to create a look that can easily be changed again for Christmas: 1) the leaves on the overmantel, 2) the patterns on the tile, 3) the message across the mantel, and even 4) the black and white family photo.

I just now entered. I saw it last week and went to their website and got so sidetracked looking at all the great ideas, I forgot to come back to your site that day and enter. I've been back to your site since then but their great site really did sidetrack me! That is too funny.
