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?

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.

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. ...

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.
