Welcome to another Movie Monday, when I feature our favorite onscreen houses. Who could forget Meg Ryan’s charming brownstone from the 1998 film “You’ve Got Mail”? It was definitely one of the highlights of this romantic comedy for me, along with her character’s equally charming children’s bookstore. This movie was a chance to reunite Tom [...]
Last week I featured Steve Martin’s traditional white house from “Father of the Bride,” and I thought it would be fun to take a look at the house again today from the sequel, “Father of the Bride Part II.” In this movie, the camera spent more time lavishing attention on the house and giving [...]
Welcome to Movie Monday, when I feature the houses from our favorite movies and TV shows. Father’s Day is coming up this month (in the U.S., at least–do other countries celebrate it next weekend, too?), so what could be more appropriate than showing the house from 1991 movie “Father of the Bride” with Steve Martin [...]
Welcome to Movie Mondays, a weekly series that takes a closer look at our favorite houses from film and television. Last week I had lots of people visiting my site, looking for “the house for sale from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.” I assumed it was the house Ferris lived in, but it turns out it [...]
So. I was determined not to read Twilight last year when everyone was going on and on about it. I’m not really into Young Adult novels or vampires. The whole premise of vampires in high school sounded, to be honest, a little ridiculous. Finally, after being told for the umpteenth time that I just HAD [...]
Welcome to Movie Mondays, a weekly series that takes a closer look at our favorite houses from film and television. The 2005 romantic comedy “Must Love Dogs” with Diane Lane and John Cusack is a movie that several of you have requested that I feature. The film itself may have been kind of forgettable, but [...]
Welcome to another Movie Monday, when I show you photos from a film that has plenty of eye candy. Today I’m treating you to the romantic drama “Chocolat.” Consider this my day-after-Mother’s-Day gift to all you moms out there. Even if charming French villages aren’t your thing, and the sight of Juliette Binoche as chocolatier [...]
On Monday we took a look at the sets from the Diane Keaton-Jack Nicholson movie “Something’s Gotta Give,” and I showed you these photos of the dining room. My friend Rhoda of Southern Hospitality reminded me that she had been inspired by the movie to redecorate her own dining room earlier this year, and she [...]
Six years ago, when a friend took me to see “Something’s Gotta Give” with her, I knew it was a Diane Keaton-Jack Nicholson romantic comedy. What I didn’t expect was to fall in love with the Hamptons beach house Keaton’s character lives in. It was my DREAM house. My friend grinned and said, “See? I [...]
Welcome to Movie Mondays, a weekly series that takes a closer look at our favorite houses from film and television. I’ll admit I have a weakness for corny romantic comedies from the 1980s, and “Baby Boom” with Diane Keaton is one I’ve seen many times. It was written by Nancy Meyers, who is behind more [...]
