These are beautiful…I would love the ranch! Thank you for doing all of these. Please add the sets from “You’ve Got Mail” to your list.
Pride and Prejudice – BBC or Kiera Knightly version! Love your blog – thank you!
I’d love to see Sam’s Seattle Boathouse from Sleepless in Seattle … that’s my favorite movie house ever — except of course for Father of the Bride.
I love your web page, I’m hooked!
OK, don’t laugh, but I took my daughter and a friend to see the Hanna Montana Movie and I loved the farm house in the movie. Would you consider posting photos of it?
Thanks,
Patti Buell
Would love to see houses from:
Mrs. Doubtfire
Something’s Gotta Give
Now Voyager
The Upside of Anger
What Lies Beneath
I love the parent trap (original) with Maureen O’Hara. That house is amazing! I would love to see a Movie Monday on that! Keep up the great work!
I LOVED the house in the movie ‘This Christmas’. So warm and homey.
I too am guilty of actually re-renting a movie just so I could see the house again. The movie was “Bewitched”…the one with Nicole Kidman & Will Ferrell in it. It is the cutest cottage ever!
Practical Magic!!!! I bought the movie for the house. The kitchen/ greenhouse is to die for. An Aga cooker with Anne Sacks tiles…heaven.
I watched Under the Tuscan Sun today. It would make a wonderful subject for Movie Monday.
Hey! Love love love this site!! SO many wonderful houses and a lot of inspiration while building our own these days:) I’d really love if you would have put out some pictures from Meg Ryan’s first home, her apartment in You Got Mail. Such a sweet movie and such a sweet home!:)
Rachael Getting Married !!
Practical Magic
Death Becomes Her
Beaches
Moonstruck
Hannah and Her Sisters (wonderful NYC apartment)
Out of Africa (anybody for a house at the foot of the Ngong Hills?)
Carrington (her house with Lytton Strachey)
84 Charing Cross Road (first apartment)
Love this section of yours!!!
I see that others have requested ‘You’ve Got Mail’ and ‘Practical Magic,’ but I add my request, to theirs.
Again, thank you for doing this. It’s super!!!!!!!! I tend to watch sets, more than any aspect of a film. Even old TV shows.
Gentle hugs,
‘Aunt Amelia’
Dear you,
.
Aunt Amelia’s Attic
DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING ON THE HOUSE IN THE MOVIE HOLIDAY INN?
Joan–
Not yet, but it’s on my list of movies to feature in the future. Holiday Inn is one of my favorites! -Julia
Meet The Parents is one of my favorite house movies. It turned me on to the blue huge floral duvet cover. I have been on the hunt for one (that I can afford) ever since seeing that movie. I have two that are close, but… *sigh*.
I would love your take on all of the decor on that set.
Thanks for making me see movies in a new way.
Hubby and I watched Nights in Rodanthe last night and the inn in that movie would be a fun feature and the other homes in it were really pretty too
perhaps I am hooked on your blog when the whole time I was thinking “this would be a great movie monday feature for Julia”
what about the inside of the father of the bride house? or a comparison between the fotb part one and part two, which had some redecorating?
Just found your blog….I too am hooked on houses. Have you done The Bridges of Madison County house? The movie was so so. BUT then I went to the actual bridges of Madison County and the house they filmed in (it was a perfect summer stormy day and all the windows open and curtains blowing in the wind, I got lots of pictures,unfortunately Im in them, got one in the tub! do you remember that scene?). So I look at the movie totally different now! I love it especially the house!
Love this feature. I will add my request for Meg Ryan’s apartment in You’ve Got Mail. I’ve tried to find some pics of it, but haven’t been successful. Thanks.
Thank you for what you do….I love it & it serves as my entertainment….Besides “The Holiday,” and “Something’s Gotta Give,” other homes that have stuck out to me was Adam Sandler’s place in “Big Daddy,” the shared house in “Catch and Release,” Tom Hank’s place in “Sleepless in Seattle,” Mr. Drummond’s penthouse in “Diff’rent Strokes,” and the tropical Florida house in “Golden Girls.”
Please post as many pictures as possible of the inside of Father of the bride house!!!!! Thanks June
I’d love to see you feature the very technicolor Stuart Little 2 house. I know it sounds silly, but somehow, watching that movie from time to time makes me want to splash bright and colorful paint across my walls and furniture and go really bold with the flooring. We came very close to putting in checkered flooring throughout our home because of that movie.
Hi, June! The “Father of the Bride” house will be featured around Father’s Day. I thought that would be appropriate. So check back for that!
Phunkyshat, I just watched “Catch and Release,” and there was a great Craftsman in that house–you’re right! I added all of your suggestions–and everyone else’s–to my list. Hope to get to them all eventually! Thanks! -Julia
I would love for you to do a feature on the movie, “You’ve Got Mail.” You could show Kathleen’s apartment, her darling little shop; even Tom Hank’s character has a cool apartment. It also really shows some cool parts of NY: The Cafe Lalo, etc. Anyway, I thought I would suggest it. I REALLY love your blog. I look forward to reading it!
I love the house decorations from failure to launch – more the interiors than the exteriors – but there is some cool architecture too! I’d love to see that on here
I know it sounds strange – but the house in the new horror movie “Drag Me to Hell” has some of the most charming, eclectic decor I’ve seen.
Someone’s already mentioned it, but I too would love to see the penthouse apartment from ‘The Thin Man’. btw, I loved looking at your photos of Doris Day’s & Rock Hudson’s apartments in ‘Pillow Talk’, as well as the Renee Zellweger remake sets. Absolutely fab!
I am absolutely in LOVE with the houses from “Practical Magic” and “Under the Tuscan Sun”. So different, and yet so, so beautiful.
I love this blog! I am crazy for houses on screen! When others are watching, I am thinking “What color paint is that?” or checking out the moldings or seeing what is hung on the walls. One house on Long Island, the Phipps Estate at Old Westbury Gardens, has been used in many screen shots. It was very noticeable in Cruel Intentions. After all these years of existence it has become known as the Cruel Intentions House!…I also love the apartments in that movie, 27 Dresses, The Break Up and Samantha Who! So many movies-so many houses! I love the ones you have done and will spend many days reading!
~Nancy
I have the same passion for houses as you do,I love your web site. I want to recommend for you to watch the “the money pit” a great 1986 movie about a couple fixing up a old classic mansion featuring tom hanks also watch “jamunji”Which features a grand new england mansion. and also watch “under the tuscan sun” which features a old world tuscan villa! If you watch these movies with great houses in them which im sure you will love please add them to your great web site! -thanks!
I really love the old movies. How about The Enchanted Cottage, the Vermont farmhouse in Dark Victory, the cute little cottage in Random Harvest, Mrs. Miniver? Here’s a really obscure movie (but boy what a great little cottage!) His Double Life with Roland Young and Lillian Gish. I’ve watched that movie a million times, walking through it in my mind!
I too, find myself looking at the houses more closely than I am following a plot when watching a movie! I would love to see the house in What About Bob? – filmed in Moneta, VA. Also, how about the Big Chill House, the Eight Is Enough House and the house used in the movie Deck the Halls? Thanks!
I would adore seeing stills of the interior home sets for Steve Martin’s movie, “Cheaper by the Dozen.”
I am absolutely in love with the house form Stepmom. I would love to see photos of the house from the Sandra Bullock Movie Hope Floats
Just saw The Proposal this weekend and the sets were absolutely AMAZING – good movie, but fantastic sets!
Also, have you done Monster-in-Law? Also very nice – so many flowers.
Oh, and Hilary Swank’s apartment in P.S. I Love You.
Would love to see more of house in Practical Magic (Sandra Bullock, et al)
First, thank you so much for this blog. I love looking at houses and movie houses are some of the most interesting because they are purposely designed to help define the characters and move the story forward.
I would love to see you feature my favorite movie home which is the townhouse from the movie, “Kiss Me Goodbye.” The movie stars Sally Fields, James Caan and Jeff Bridges. The interiors of this house are wonderful.
What about Spanglish? I love both houses. Thanks!
Andie MacDowell’s apartment in “Green Card”!
Mercer House from “Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil.”
Incredible site!!! Please can you find pictures of Kidman’s character in Bewitched? We also like all houses in Spanglish
Thanks Julia!!
These are all great suggestions. I’ve got a master list that I’m adding all of them to. Thanks, everybody! And keep ‘em comin’! -Julia
Hi Julia! I LOVE your website!! One of my favorite movies ever is Romancing The Stone. I thought Kathleen Turner’s (Joan Wilder’s) apartment was absolutely amazing and modeled my own apartment back then after it. Would you consider doing a photo piece on it? Thank you so much!
Hi Julia. One other home that I would absolutely love to see featured is Cybill Shepherd’s house in the movie, “Chances Are” (1988). The architecture seemed amazing. Thank you!
I am trying to find out the name of a movie that takes place mostly at an older house with a porch. As I recall, the movie starts out with a family member visiting an older or depressed woman who spends most of her time sitting on the porch. This movie may have been located in a vacation resort town like Cape Cod. There is a scene in the movie where the visitor to this woman (perhaps her daughter) goes to the grocery store and gets into a fight over a parking space. Do you know how I can find out the name of this movie? I would love to see it again. I believe that I saw this movie in the 1980’s or 1990’s. It was definitely before the year 2000. Does this movie setting sound familiar to anyone? Thanks.
I was going to say “Bewitched” and then noticed you had it listed. The only house I love better than the “Bewitched” house is the one from “Something’s Gotta Give” It’s funny how many magazines I read now where they talk about being inspired by the SGG house!
Andie MacDowell’s apartment in Green Card is my all time favorite and as far as horror movie houses go I watched the remake of When A Stranger Calls just for the house.
The black marble bathroom in the mansion of the movie Eyes Wide Shut. Tom Cruise examines a girl who has over-dosed in the scene. Also, the apartment Rhoda lives in, in the classic, The Bad Seed.
Thanks.
To Lynne,
Fried Green tomatoes with Kathy Bates.
Thank you for all your hard work Julia.
I really enjoyed seeing inside Meg Ryan’s ‘You’ve Got Mail’ apartment and adore the kitchen from the set ‘Brothers & Sisters’.
I’d love to see inside the homs from;
- ‘The Funny Farm’ (Chevy Chase)
-’Serial Mom’ (Kathleen Turner)
-’Because I said So’ (Diane Keaton)
-’ The Banger Sisters’ (Susan Sarandon)
-’Sleepless in Seattle’ (Meg Ryan)
Thanks, Kiki Nakita
How about adding the rustic cabin from On Golden Pond to your growing list? It might be a nice one to feature in the fall. I thought I read somewhere that it is a real house, and you can see it from the lake on certain boat tours there in NH. Also, I don’t know if anyone has asked, but the house in Message in a Bottle is gorgeous. It was featured years ago in an issue of Coastal Living. Apparently it too is a real house – shot in Maine – not NC as in the book.
The house in What Lie Beneath is beautiful. You should show pics from that one. Its right on the water, decorated in nice earth tones blues, browns, greys with a lovely rose garden.
I cannot wait for the post on Practical Magic!
This is a fantastic site…..I’m totally hooked! I will watch films over and over just for the houses. I can’t wait for the Practical Magic post and may I suggest the house from “What Lies Beneath” and the Eatonten home from “Steel Magnolias” as possible future posts.
I just found out that the ‘Serial Mom’ house is for sale
http://www.600lakedrive.com/
Take a peek
Thanks for this site. I have spent HOURS here having so much fun! I am trying to redecorate my very mid-90s living room into something more timeless, and your site is giving me better ideas than any decorating magazines I’ve looked through.
If you have time, I’d love to see Gilmore Girls featured here.
Lovely to see that Practical Magic is in the works – I just watched it last night. I hope you find some good Mr & Mrs Smith pictures before they smash the house up!
Also, there is a 1987 movie called Someone to Watch Over Me
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0094008/
It’s sort of a thriller but the main female character lives in a stunning penthouse apartment and even as a teenager it struck me as a beautiful space. I found a pic of it here (quite a ways down the page):
http://www.thedorkreport.com/tag/action/
You have shown so many houses from movies that I love!! There is one that I was unable to find on here and have been dying to get a better look at! Millies loft in “Because I Said So”…. actually all of the homes in that movie I love so much, so if you could do some investigating, it would be wonderful!
Great site Julia, congratulations. I suggest you the house of “Monster in law “(that of Jane Fonda character).And also all interiors shots in Gilmore Girls tv show, they are incredible, specially The dragonfly inn, a cozy and incredible hotel
Thanks for share, you give us more ideas than a lot of magazines!!!
Great site!
Can I suggest:
Three Men and a Baby (I love the apartment)
Sleeping with the Enemy (great beach house)
Oh, I’m soo happy to see that Spanglish is on your list! I love that house and keep watching the movie just so I can look at the house! Can’t wait til you post on it! Thanks!
Oh my gosh, this web site is Heaven to me, as I love movies according to the houses in them I love! You have lots of my favs, but may I ask for the cute courtyard/patio apartment of Dave in the first Chipmunks movie?? That is a real place in LA and the outside courtyard is just as adorable as the apt. Also, I would love to see Ann Marie’s apt. from the TV show That Girl!
Oh yes, the latest, and really all the Little Women movies. But the newest one with Susan Sarandon as the mom has that golden glow to the rooms.
It’s a bit dated now, but I have always loved the house in Mr. Mom! It is a gorgeous representation of the late 70s, 80s style.
How about John Cusack’s house in Martian Child; Edward Norton’s in The Italian Job (we don’t get a whole lot of it, so maybe not. There’s a lot of the outside); Drew Barrymore’s in Ever After; and the various residences in The Illusionist?
Excellent!!! Thank you so much! I actually own many of these movies and have looked for pictures of the houses online in the past…so, how happy am I to find your blog! Ahhh…so much wonderful inspiration! I am currently restoring a 1910 farmhouse (my home…which is very traditional and cottagey) and a 1919 Craftsman Bungalow (for my shop).
What fun!
: )
Julie M.
ps Have many people mentioned the apartment and Irish cottage in P.S. I Love You? I’ve watched that movie it at least 20 times!
I’d be interested in information about one of the houses in “Nobody’s Fool” that was filmed in Beacon, NY back in ‘93 (I think). It’s the house that Bruce Willis and Melanie Griffith lived in – a big old maroon Victorian overlooking the Hudson River. It looked so much like a childhood playmate’s grandmother’s house. Oh…I recently visited Squam Lake in NH. We went by boat across the lake and saw (barely through the trees) the house used in “On Golden Pond” plus the boathouse on the water. Just like in the movie, we had to hang over the sides of the boat watching for rocks – that’s a very shallow lake!
So it’s not just me who absolutely adores the homes in Somethings Gotta Give and Stepmom. Here’s another one that I’ve always loved…Hope Floats. It was the porch that I loved.
What about the houses on the movie Evening?
Might I suggest the home of Bella and Max in Notting Hill.
Thank you so much for featuring all these homes. My husband laughs at me because I record movies just to “pause” my way through them. One house I have always loved is Meg Ryan’s home in the movie Hanging Up, especially at the end when it is decorated for Thanksgiving!
You have good taste girl. I love all the houses you’ve featured. The house in Dennis the Menace was really old and neat too, the Proposal, Sex and the City movie- Carrie Bradshaw’s apt….I’m sure I’ll think of more suggestions.
I second the suggestion for What Lies Beneath. I loved the bathroom in this house so much.
Could you put the house from Legends of the Fall on the list?
Love your site Julia, I am totally hooked. The house from Home Alone 3, in fact the whole lane and the old lady’s (neighbour) house is pretty too.
I love this! How about Manderly from “Rebecca” ?
Nancy
LOVE your site, Julia! Funny enough, my girlfriend and I would rewind some movies over and over again- furiously scribbling the floorplan of a house we liked. You’ve already shown my favorites: Home Alone, Father of the Bride, etc.
One of the trickiest was the penthouse from the movie with Gwyneth Paltrow and Michael Douglas- name of movie escaping me now. She was having an affair with a young painter and Michael tried to have her killed?? Gwen’s “mom’ in the movie had a wonderful home, too! Oh- and another neat city apartment- the one from Decieved with Goldie Hawn.
Our lake house is actually very near the What About Bob house one commenter mentioned. They made changes to the house. So if you need a current picture, just let me know!
Check out a movie called Dinner with Friends–with Andie McDowwell, Dennis Quaid, Toni Collette, and Greg Kinear. I saw it years ago on HBO, and remember pausing and rewinding to look at the house.
I would love to see the house from You Me & Dupree. I am in love with their bedrooom and would love some “tips” on how to re-create the look for our room
Hi, one house I really liked is the one in Monster-in-Law. The one Jennifer Lopez and Michael Vartan live in.
Thank you so much for all you do. My favorite house is the one from something’s gotta give and I really appreciate all the pictures. I don’t have to replay the movie over and over just to see the house again!
Fun site! I’d love to see you do “Dinner with Friends” The movie wasn’t that great but the sets were amazing.
These are all great suggestions. I’ve added them all to my list. I’m searching for a DVD of “Dinner with Friends” because I’ve never seen it. Thanks, everybody! Keep ‘em coming’. -Julia
Julia,
I just found your site and I’m in love! I really enjoy watching movies just to see the houses. Do it all the time. (drives husband crazy) I adore the house in the movie “Unfaithful” with Diane Lane and Richard Gere. Bought the DVD just so I could study the kitchen. Love it. Also, Meg Ryan’s home in the remake of “The Women”. Portmeirion everywhere. Really enjoyed the coverage on “The Family Stone”(my fav) and “Baby Boom”.
Can’t wait to see what you come up with next!
~Belle
I love your site! I watched “The Break Up” on tv the other day and realized how much I love the condo in it. It’s beautiful!
your site is now one I’m reading regularly! Movie Mondays are indescribably good. Thank you so much for putting these outstanding houses up for us all to enjoy.
I’d truly adore to see the house in the 1985 film Out of Africa starring Meryl Streep. It is a tudor style home on a coffee plantation in British colonial Kenya with fabulous early 1900s details, porches filled with wicker, lovely fireplaces. In the film, Karen Blixen (Meryl Streep’s character) is very attached to “her things” — her china, her crystal, her chintz armchairs. Her love interest, Robert Redford, gently rebukes her for this — but by and by she has to sell everything she owns, and he must admit that he rather liked her things, after all.
Could I interest you also in the English house in ‘Death at a Funeral’?

I’d enjoy getting a little homesick over that…
Here’s a taster (2nd photo on this page):
http://www.talkdelaware.com/f21/camera-game-11240.html
And I just saw Beth’s note on Out of Africa, that would be marvelous. Although it would probably lead to me having to watch the movie again!
I third the motion for What Lies Beneath – it was a great home. Also Brenda’s house from HBO’s Six Feet Under, and many of the European apartments that Jason Bourne kicks ass in, in The Bourne Identity.
You must check out “Howard’s End” a beautiful Merchant and Ivory film.
The house will leave you longing to move right in!
Enjoy!
Ellen
Great site, been on here for hours! Would love to see the houses from “What Lies Beneath,” “The Love Letter” (Selleck/Capshaw version), and Unfaithful. An earlier post mentioned a penthouse…the movie was “A Perfect Murder” (Paltrow).
I know this was movie suggested above by Jane, but I just watched Mrs. Miniver and when I saw their foyer I instantly thought of you. Although it is obviously a set, the designer managed to evoke a cottage feel in what was supposed to be a large house, with charming rooms and a lovely garden with a stone wall right on a river. AND it is a wonderful movie, really stood up well over time, tells a great story of how war is fought by civilians as well as soldiers.
I haven’t watched “Mrs. Miniver” in years. I’ll have to try to get a copy and watch it again. Thanks, Robin! -Julia
Please, Please do the ORIGINAL PARENT TRAP Ranch House! The courtyard is amazing and the layout of the house is so wonderful!
Looking at the house from Pollyanna for some reason made me think of the Victorian home from Mary Poppins. Would love to see that one if possible.
This is one of my favorite sites, Julia. You are doing a bang up job. Thanks so much.
I’ve been looking for a blog like this! I’ve been looking for pictures of “the breakup” with Jen Aniston, I love her bedroom, want to find similar wall paper. Thanks.
Please When a Stranger Calls I love the layout of the house, is so min century. THANKS!!!
Oh and the “breakup” with Jeniffer Aniston, thanks
I would also love to see Andie McDowell’s apartment from Green Card.
My favorite movie house is from the movie “Rebecca” with Laurence Olivier. Great scene where the evil housekeeper opens the floor to ceiling curtains in Rebecca’s room. Gorgeous.
My husband’s dream house is the one in the movie, Funny Farm with Chevy Chase. It’s supposedly located somewhere in Grafton, VT and he’s about ready to drag me up North to find it. Before we run around creation on a wild goose chase, does anyone have any pictures of this house? Ultimately he’s trying to put enough pictures together to see if we can have an architecht draw up plans. Thanks for any help!
I absolutely love the beach house in ‘Something’s Gotta Give’, I would move there in a second. If not, then Kathleen Kelly’s apartment in ‘You’ve Got Mail’ would be the next best thing.
Kirsten Dunst has a really cool place in ‘Elizebethtown’, could you do that too please?
Love your blog,
Calla
I love all the new additions. I would like to suggest a movie house. The movie is “Her Alibi” The house is Tom Selleck’s redone farmhouse. I have not been able to find any photos. The living room is amazing.
The house in “Meet Me in St. Louis.” It reminds me of the post you just wrote about the Kansas City Queen Anne. I’ve always loved the movie because of the house…
Hi, I love your blog! I’m addicted to houses too. You should do one on the t.v. show “Gilmore Girls”, their house and the Dragonfly Inn.
We are building a house and I really want to use the cute cottage from the Bewitched movie as inspiration. I see it is on your list. Hope to see it soon as we have to finalize our house plans. Love the site!
You have my one of my favorite sites!
I would love to see “That Girl’s” apartment. Not the first one, but the one that was used in most of the episodes. It was great. It may have even surpassed Mary Richard’s wonderful apartment.
Gretchen
I absolutely love your blog! I would suggest Steele Magnolias and also the house from The Money Pit with Tom Hanks, as well as the farmhouse in Funny Farm (Chevy Chase.) By the way, the English Cottage in The Holiday is my absolute favorite house EVER.
How about “One True Thing” (1998) with Meryl Streep and Rene Zellwenger?
Thank you for the website – it’s wonderful!
I love your web site. How about featuring Catherine Zeta Jones’ Village apartment in “No Reservations” and/or the house from the Proposal??
It would be cool to see a feature on Hogwarts.
I whole-heartedly second the idea of Meet Me in St. Louis! That is a wonderful house!
Also, Greystoke features a wonderful mansion, and the Secret Garden movies and A Little Princess, Little Women, etc. How about the later mansion in GWTW? Was that a real house, as far as the interior shots go?
Thank you!
PS I also second Fried Green Tomatoes, Rebecca’s Manderley,What About Bob, Pollyanna, and Steel Magnolias, plus the mansion where Kathy Bates worked in Dolores Claiborne, the house in Psycho, if it really exists, the house in Misery (where Kathy Bates lives), the homes in Giant (if real), and Green Gables and the mansion Anne and her friend Diana visit (it belongs to Diana’s relative). In Little Women there is also a beautiful mansion that Jo inherits and plans to turn it into a school.
How about the homes in the old Stepford Wives?
Great suggestions! I’m writing movie posts just as fast as I can and will get to as many of your favorites as possible.
Diane–If you mean the mansion that Rhett buys for Scarlett, I did cover that one as part of my Gone with the Wind post. The exterior was a painting and the interior was a set. I also covered Pollyanna already, but I’ll add the rest of the ones you mentioned to my list! Thanks! -Julia
Lacy,
I would also love to know the address to the funny farm house. I can’t seem to find it anywhere on the internet. They may not want a lot of people driving by and looking at the house. If you do find it let me know. I would also like to know if you do have an architecht draw up some plans. I might want to buy them from that architecht. You can contact me at ashleywmoore@hotmail.com
Thank you
Ashley and Lacy–
I get asked about the Funny Farm house a lot. I haven’t written a post about it but plan to in the future–it’s one of my favorites. The movie was shot around Vermont and the house belonged to a resident of Grafton. If anyone has more information about it, we’d love to know! -Julia
One of my favorite movie houses is Tom Hank’s place in Sleepless in Seattle. His house is so charming being on the water and all.
I also like Reese Witherspoon’s NY apartment on Sweet Home Alabama.
One Tree Hill
Great website!
Have any shots on the house from “You, Me & Dupree”. It was beautiful!
Hi Julie,
I love you site, I am so happy it’s around! Many of these movies/tv shows have always been my favorites due to the fantastic set designs. I was wondering if you should feature some of the kitchen/house sets from the food network? (Such as: Giada at Home, Paul Deen, Barefoot Contessa, and Down Home with the Neely’s) So many of the shows are filmed in the homes of the chef’s and they are all so admirable!
What can I say..I’m hooked on your site, but the movie interiors section is my favourite , secret fix destination!
The house in the old 1940s movie Leave Her to Heaven (great movie!) is wonderful. It seems like it was used in some other old movies too.
LIPSTICK JUNGLE -> I LOVE the interior design of the houses
Oh my God, I hope you read this. I read that you are going to make a page with “practical magic”. You can find pictures of everything made in that house on “amas veritas”
I tried to comment earlier but was not sure if it got posted.
Anyways, I sincerely thank you very much for satisfying one of my most unconventional addictions. I am not hooked but psychotic on houses and this thread on movie homes is of particular interest!! I cannot thank you enough. I appreciate the stills from the Parent Trap and Home Alone especially!
However, I am a bit on the eerie side of architecture and would humbly request the following:
1. Mansion in the 1999 Liam Neeson film “The Haunting”
2. Jodie Foster’s multi- floor apartment in “Panic Room”
3. Rose estate in “War of the Roses”
4. Colorful home from “The Cat in the Hat” (my siblings and I love to watch that movie for the house, even now that I’m in university)!
Definately the little women house!Orchard House – I love your blog.
I also love the lucy honeychurch house “windy corner” from Room with a view.
There is an older movie, I think 1988 89, called Chances Are, with Cybil Sherpard and Robert Downey, Jr. I think it would make a great subject for “Movie Mondays”.
Just discovered your blog and love it!
Has anyone suggested, “The Pacifier?” Ahhh…I love that house!
: )
Julie
ps “Pushing Daisies” also had quite yummy sets.
I would love to see the Spanglish houses, esp the beach house, which was gorgeous! Also, Meg Ryan’s home in ‘Hanging Up’ was brilliant! Brilliant site!
Hey Julia,
I too have always loves houses. I am surprised you don’t have my favorite house of all times its the house in the movie Meet Me In St. Louis with Judy Garland. The inside and out of the house is the most amazing victorian house. I love watching the movie because of the house. Please check it out. Thank You
Hi,
am new to blogging so keep stumbling across gorgeous sites including yours. I love the houses in Somethings Gotta Give, Must Love Dogs, Practical Magic, What Lies Beneath and The Pacifier to name a few. It’s great to find a site with so many detailed photos of some of these houses.
Thanks
Ooh I just remembered another one – both of Nicole Kidman’s houses on The Invasion (her skinny house shown through most of the film and the kitchen and small living area of the new house at the end) plus her ex-husband’s house.
Another vote for the apartment in Green Card!
Hi
I was wondering if anyone has a picture from the beachhouse in the movie “Two if by sea” (1996) I would be soooooo grateful! I cant find it anywhere!
thanks!:)
I know it’s been said earlier on here, but I would like to repeat that I would LOVE to see Gilmore Girls on here. There’s Lorelai’s house, Emily and Richard’s house and the pool house while Lorelai is living there, the inns, Logan’s house, the Twikham house and so much more! That show is full of great house eye candy!
Hi, I’d love to see Will Smith’s New York townhouse from I am Legend. I still think about that amazing bath that he hides in with his dog, love it! Also, Love Actually has lots of amazing houses, but especially the London townhouse of Liam Neeson’s character with its beautiful antique pine doors. Thanks
MR MOM!!!!!!
Now, that was a GREAT HOUSE! The living room, the dining, kitchen, family room and master. It was the house of my dreams all thru the 1980s. It was done in a lot of beiges, and lots of shelves with plants, just like it was with everyone back then.
I too just found your blog and have a happily long way to go to explore it. My vote: the Vietnamese town home in Scent of Green Papaya.
You have created a great resource here. Beautiful.
your post on “the mary tyler moore show” was fantastic. it’s one of those icons that burned into my memory as a very little kid. in fact, i’ve only lived in studio apartments, though not so large as that.
would you cover Milly’s apartment in “Because I Said So?” there really aren’t any other blogs or fansites that have them.
I would love to see pictures of the UK house in “The Return of the Mummy” its sort of egyptian revival/gothic in style and I loved it. May have to buy the movie to drool over those sets. I don’t recall any exterior shots but the interiors were to die for.
Jo
Could you do a profile on the house from “War of the Roses”? I loved the house so much that, at one point in the movie they rolled out a plan of the house and I recall running and pausing the VCR multiple times so that I could actually sketch the floorplan…
Belledame–I just added “Because I Said So” to my Netflix queue. Thanks for the suggestion.
Jo and Margeaux–I haven’t seen either of those movies in a long time, but I’ll check them out again. Thanks! -Julia
I was just wondering if you could or already have researched the home in “The Spiderwick Chronicles.”
Amanda–
I haven’t seen that movie. I’ll check it out! -Julia
In Dan In Real Life, the family all gets together at a huge beautiful ‘cottage’…Nantucket style I think. I would love to know more about that house…where it is exactly and so forth. I know you’d LOVE it!
I love Queen Ann style houses. There is an older movie from the 1950’s called “Mr Hobbs Takes a Vacation” With Jimmy Stewart and Maureen O ‘Hara. They go to this victorian mansion on the beach that is broken down,needs paint badly, but a lovely Victorian house. I looked a number of times at that movie, just for the house. In watching it, the house was very detailed and only made to look broken down. It was definatly a real house, and very beautiful, if it was fixed up.
There was an interesting feature in this movie. I noticed that when Jimmy Stewart goes up the stairs of the mansion in the Mr Hobbs Takes a Vacation, the newel post on the staircase comes loose in his hand. I think that a nice touch, because that same thing happened in Jimmy Stewarts earlier move, “Its a Wonderful Life”, also had a wonderful mansion with a newel post on a staircase that comes off in Jimmy Stewarts hand.
Its a Great site you have here and I’m glad I found it.
Both those Jimmy Stewarts movies had wonderful Victorian houses.
DO YOU HAVE THE HOUSE FROM THE MOVIE AUSTRALIA – THATS AN AWESOME HOME!
Sarah–loved “Dan in Real Life” and the house they all gathered in.
Ginny–I’m a Jimmy Stewart fan but I don’t think I ever saw “Mr. Hobbs Takes a Vacation.”
CB–no, I haven’t done an “Australia” post yet. I just added all three movies to my Netflix queue so I’ll get to them eventually! Thanks for the suggestions. -Julia
Hi there thank you for these wonderful movie sets. My request is for the of PS I Love You. I loved that shabby yet romantic look they had going. Thanks. Esther.
Love the website, I check it out regularly. I am hoping you will add pictures from the condo in the movie “The Break Up” with Jennifer Anniston and Vince Vaughn. Thanks!
Good Morning,
I just found you website & I love it! Love it! Love it! I too am hooked on “Movie Houses”. My all time favorite is the Steve Martin/Goldie Hawn house in HouseSitter.
This morning I was on a hunt for the apartment building in the movie “The Ugly Truth” it is much the same courtyard/patio type of apartment building as in the Alvin & the Chipmunk movie. I have also seen the same type in many 1940’s movies.
Where do you get all your information? I need a starting point before I drive myself crazy – I would love to build & live in this type of apartment building and only rent to really good friends -obviously some I haven’t even met yet.
Thank you for all your hard work – please don’t ever stop.
DPR
Hi, Donna! Always glad to hear from another “Housesitter” fan. That’s one of my favorites, too. I think I’ve watched it 100 times, at least!
Loved that apartment building with the courtyard in “The Ugly Truth,” and the house in the “Alvin and the Chipmunks” movie. I’ll be doing posts on both of them eventually, I’m sure.
I get my info different places. You can sometimes find articles on Wikipedia about a movie, or by looking it up on the IMDb website. If you Google “production notes in” + the name of the movie, you can sometimes get information about the filming and set design. I also learn a lot by watching the bonus features on DVDs and listening to the director’s commentary. And I get e-mails from people who worked on different movies who want to share things with me sometimes, and that’s the best!
Good luck with your search! -Julia
Hi, I’m a huge fan of your blog and especially enjoy your Movie Mondays! I have a 3 year old little boy and for movie night this Saturday we watched Jumanji. Now, he enjoyed every minute of the action and destruction… but all I could think was “Oh that beautiful house!” and of course wondered if you had featured it on your blog.
I think this beautiful home would be a wonderful addition to your Movie Mondays, something all those Mommies out there who watch show after show with their little ones can enjoy!
Thank you for your time!
Jennifer

Hello,
Have you seen the beach front mansion from Sleeping With The Enemy? It’s beautiful and even the house Julia Roberts escapes to is very cute. You should consider adding those to your collection. Thank, I love your site!
Another great one is the beach house from the 2009 movie The Uninvited with Elisabeth Banks and the house in Last House On The Left, if you can stomach watching that movie. I suggest fast forwarding a lot of it. Also, there was a beautiful home in the movie The Orphan.
Love your sites. Would love to see the San Fransico home in Mrs. Doubtfire.
I was just wondering if you had any details about the house in The Family Stone? Year it was built, technical “style”, etc. Thanks!
Courtney–I put everything I know about the Family Stone house in the post about it. You can find it here:
http://hookedonhouses.net/2008/12/10/the-family-stone-home-for-the-holidays/
I just found your site and I am so Happy I did! I thought I was the only one that watched movies for the houses. I don’t know if I would remember Step Mom except I loved the house! I also like watching desperate housewives because I love there homes.(I like the show too) Thanks so much .
Oh BTW I love the movie Roxanne with Steve Martin.(again) A really pretty house.
How about Whoopi Golderberg’s, “The Associate”? I would love to have pics of the Plaza room she stays at as Mr. Cutty. I love the entry floors and ambiance.
i loved the pictures of the home alone house but i must ask do you have any pctures of what the inside of the house looks like now ? & who owns the house
JameyEileen–
Sorry, but I have no idea who lives in the Home Alone house now or what it looks like inside. If anyone does, I’d love to hear from you! Sometimes the owners of famous houses voluntarily send me photos, but I’ve never heard from the Home Alone-home owners. -Julia
i would love and appreciate if you can get any pictures of the house from gweneth paltrows “hush.” i am obssessed with that house. thank you!
I would love to know where to get pictures of the childhood home in the movie Hanging Up. The pool was in the front of the house, I think it was in Los Angeles. CA. Thanks. Peggy
Whew! I finally made it to the bottom of the page. Have you seen “Dan in Real Life?” Cool house..nice movie. : ) Julie M.
I’ve read your blog off and on for a couple years, and just came back today to see that you covered my favorite movie house from You’ve Got Mail! Love it! I would love to see “Orchard House” from the 1995? version of Little Women (Mr. Lawrence’s and Aunt March’s houses, too)! For some reason I was thinking you had done Little Women, but I can’t find it so I must have just imagined it.
I also love your Pillow Talk entry- that is one of my favorite fluffy fifties movies, and the interiors are fabulous!
I was wondering if you know where the house in Close Encounters of the Third Kind is located? Thanks.
Ashley
Bewitched TV house is on the former Screen Gems Ranch , Now refered to as the Sony Ranch. It is closed to the public
Hazel, Flying Nun, Waltons, Partridge Family, I dream of Jeanie are just a few that were filmed there.
Actually the Bewitched house (Darrin and Samanthas) was also Dr Bellows house on I Dream of Jeanie. The Bewitched House for the Kravits was Also redressed for the Partridge Family House.
Hazels house was also used as Griswalds house for National Lampoon Vacation.
Over at Universal Desaparate House Wives is filmed where the Munsters lived as well as Leave it to Beaver.
I really enjoyed your site and will check back often.
Thanks and hope this helps for future research Best wishes on your endeavor!
I love your website! How about my all time favorite house/set…. “When a man loves a Woman”. I love the kitchen in this house with the green cabinets. I am willing to bet the cabinets were used also on the set of Party of Five. I f you look closely, ( on Party of Five) you can see the stripped green paint remnents on the cabinets left from the set used on When a Man Loves A Woman. The filming was around the same time in 1994.
I’m SO excited to find your site, I will be back often!
In 2002 Robin Williams was in a creepy movie called “One Hour Photo” where he stalks this family that lives in an amazing house. This is the perfect example of a movie that I watch just for the house–because the movie itself is awful. Gorgeous house though!
Julia,
I have information about the “Practical Magic” House. There was a magazine called Victoria. There was and article in it abut the Aunt’s House. It talked about who designed it and other interesting facts. The article included pictures and drawings of the house being built for the movie. I am sorry I do not remember which issue of Victoria the article is in.
Kelley
Hey…how about the house in “10 Things I hate about you”?
Love your website. I came across it when I was looking for pictures of SGG (my favorite). I remember I liked the houses in “Laws of Attraction” (Julianne Moore’s character) and “The Breakup.” Not great movies, but I liked checking out the decor.
Hi,
Just wondering if you can add some pictures of the houses/apartments from ‘How to Lose A Guy in 10 Days’ (loved Ben’s apartment!) and ‘Sweet Home Alabama’ (loved her apartment) I love your site!
Thanks!
Amy
I would love to see the Ryan Reynold’s character’s family home in Alaska featured from the movie “The Proposal” co-starring Sandra Bullock. It was beautiful! Thanks for your website–I thought I was the only person who paid as much attention to houses in movies as the movie itself!
I just love your site! What about featuring the house from the TV show “Family”?
Thanks for all the great info.
Hi Julia What about the movie Because I said So – any photos of this movie would be great…..Thanks to you I get to see these movie sets in better detail….Love most of them..
I haven’t seen these suggested:
Kit Kitterage: An American Girl- Set during the depression, great house and treehouse.
Nanny McPhee
Casper
Clue
Can you tell I have kids? I watch their movies with them for the houses.
Hello I was wondering if you knew anything about the houes that was in the movie silent fall. Its the huge one where the murder took place. It said on imdb that it was filmed in baltimore maryland but I just love that house!!!
Hello! I love your site. Thanks so much for posting homes from tv and movies. I look forward to them every Monday.
Homes I would love to see featured:
Matilda house
Swiss Family Robinson tree houses.
Beetlejuice victorian home
Unsinkable Molly Brown Mansion
Cheaper by the dozen 1950 victorian home
Cheaper by the dozen 2003 victorian home
Anne of Green Gables Farm House,

Hi. Would love to see Andy McDowell’s character’s NY apartment in “Green Card”, and the home Jeremy Irons’ and Miranda Richardson’s home in “Damage”.
Thanks.
Hey Julia!
I am hooked on your blog!! I am the only sixteen year old I know who spends hours on Real Estate websites, picks up Better Homes and Gardens magazine, and has a DVR full of HGTV. Needless to say, your blog is perfect for me!
A home I would love to see featured on your site is the Alaskan mansion in Sandra Bullock’s The Proposal. I saw the movie three times in theatre just for that house (… okay, it was for Ryan Reynolds also!). Thanks so much!
-Taylor
Hello,
There’s an adorable Hallmark movie that was actually filmed in my town in Vancouver, Canada. It’s about a single mother at Christmas and it has Henry Winkler, who I love. It’s called The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year. The mother lives in a goregous house, her kitchen was soo nice and the layout is very beautiful. I drove my husband crazy intterupting the movie to point out my favorite parts of the house haha. Here is a link to actually watch the movie online. Sometimes an ad pops up in the beginning but in the top right corner you can click “skip ad,” then in the screen box where the movie actually plyas it says, “close to play.” If you click that the movie will start. The house was lovely but the movie is a happy feel good movie too so its win win!
http://www.zshare.net/video/668069716d102dc5/
Enjoy!
Hi! I love your website. I have always loved houses, especially many of the ones from tv and movies. It seems your blog is a perfect match for me! I love many of the houses that you have included on your blog. I also have some suggestions for houses that you may want to include, that I absolutely love, and would also love to see in detail:
Claire Bartel’s house in “The Hand that Rocks the Cradle”
The Russell’s house in the movie “Uncle Buck”
In Woody Allen’s “Husbands & Wives” – Sally’s house in Riverdale
Miranda Hillard’s house in “Mrs. Doubtfire”
Please look into doing the charming apartment in Green Card. I watch that movie often just to take it all in. Oh, I would also love to see the houses in Unstrung Heroes on your wonderful site.
I thought I was so original! Not so! I have always adored the houses in “Something’s Got to Give” and “What Lies Beneath”. As someone else here has suggested, the homes in the newer “Parent Trap” are lovely as well.
The only movie house I could think of that was not mentioned here was Andie McDowell & Peter Gallagher’s Baton Rouge, LA home in “sex, lies, and videotape”. I also like Bree’s (Marcia Cross) house on Desperate Housewives.
Love the blog–thank for sharing!
Have you watched the new ABC series “Modern Family”? The blonde’s house looks beautiful, although, all of them look great actually! Would love to see photos of that set.
Great site, I love it! You have featured some great houses. I would love to learn more about the houses in the movie Stepford Wives and also What Lies Beneath too.
Don’t know if you’re a LOST fan, but I’ve recently become head-over-heels for the show. Maybe it’s because I live in a very small space myself, but I am totally fascinated with the Dharma Swan Station’s living quarters (down the hatch). The colors… the lighting… the layout… the furniture… It actually reminds me a bit of Murray’s fashionable place from the Mary Tyler Moore Show. But OH, the mystery around the place! Captivating.
I’d love if you did a piece on it!
I know this isn’t a Christmas movie, but I love watching Hanging Up around Thanksgiving b/c of the way Meg Ryan’s house is decorated for it at the end of the movie. Thanks for featuring all of these great movie sets. I love staring at the pictures!
These are my top picks for Christmas movies.
Little Women 1996. I know it’s not a Christmas movie, but it’s one of my favorite movies and it has alot of Christmas scenes.
It’s a Wonderful Life victorian home.
White Christmas 1954 Vermont Inn where they stay at in the movie.
Meet Me in St. Louis victorian home
National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation
My ideas:
– “White Christmas” (the Inn in Vermont — ooh, I watch the show just to look at the prettiness of that house! OK, and I love the singing and dancing, too.).
– “It’s A Wonderful Life”
– “Stepmom”, with Julia Roberts and Susan Sarandon. I don’t know that that is a Christmas show solely, but there are some really lovely Christmas scenes and scenery in it.
Love your blog!
The Proposal’s main set – the home in Alaska is gorgeous! I’d love to learn more about it! The home from National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation would be fun too! : )
Love this site!
The move Leave Her to Heaven, a 1940s movie, has several wonderful houses in it. Would love to see shots from these. There is a desert house and a lake house.
Christmas in Connecticut house. The farm house in the 1940s movie Remember the Night with Fred MacMurray and Barbara Stanwyk, the Indiana house he takes her to. All the houses in It’s a Wonderful Life.
Donna Read-
That courtyard apt. for Alvin and the Chipmunks exists in Los Angeles. I linked up with a woman who tracked it down for me. Watch the cute apt. in Swing Shift with Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell and it might be the same place.
The cute motor court apartment in Swing Shift with Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell. It is adorable, and the one in Alvin and the Chipmunks too.
OH! One of my favorite all time movies, the house in Pacific Heights with Melanie Griffith and Michael (Played Mr. Mom). That house is in San Francisco, an old Victorian and it’s wonderful!
Oh, oh oh!
The Goodbye Girl movie apartment that Marcia Mason’s character lives in and that Richard Dreyfuss invades! It is truly a classic and adorable.
Oh my gosh, and another Marcia (Marsha) Mason movie brownstone, The Second Time Around, the story of her real marriage to Neil Simon. It’s multi-level and gorgeous and why don’t we EVER see it run on TV???? It is worth the price of a DVD.
I know it isn’t fancy but I love the home in The Preachers Wife with Whitney Houston. Also, the homes in If You Believe(her apartment and the CT home) That is a terrific made for tv christmas movie that is actually on dvd.
love your blog!
tina
Here I go with Loretta Young again. How about THE BISHOPS WIFE with Loretta Young and Cary Grant!
You are a interior god. I freaked when I saw this site. You MUST check out “Because I said so” and “Ghost Whisperer” (Tv show). “Because I Said So” isn’t a very good movie so you’ve been warned, but the interior of Mandy Moore’s house is to DIE for. Diane Keaton also has a really beautiful kitchen. “Ghost Whisperer” plays on CBS on Friday night. Jennifer Love Hewitt’s character is an antique dealer so her house and her shop is filled with wonderful things. I would start with the third season. Check out her shop and her house. You’ll love them both. I did.
Keep up the wonderful magic!
I absolutely love Tina Fey’s apartment in Baby Mama! thanks
I just found your website yesterday and I am totally hooked on it! I am wondering if you have any pictures of the setting of Stepford Wives. I actually didn’t really like the movie itself that all I remember about it is the lovely house! And thanks for creating such an entertaining website!
I love the mom’s house in Samantha Who, which disappeared this year with no warning! It is total over the top French country.
Not a house, but an upscale London apartment in “Indiscreet”. The movie stars Ingrid Bergman and Cary Grant. Ingrid’s character’s apartment is a beautiful 1950’s delux. And so wonderfully colorful to make full use of the “modern” color film processes. I would love to see pics and opinions of that British pad and the inspired decor. The gowns and jewels aren’t bad either.
Thank you.
Love your site…movies and houses in movies are two of my favorite things.
A few houses that come to mind are:
“Fatal Attraction” farm house
“Unfaithful” house
I’m sure I have others!
Love the houses! You have some of my favorites. Here are some I would love to see.
My father, the hero (the island house they stay at)
Hocus Pocus
Julie& Julia I LOVED the Paris house but the present-day pizzeria apartment was cute
I would love to see pics of the inside of the Desmond’s house in Casper Meets Wendy. It is very industrial looking and I can’t find pics of it. I also like the house in Sleeping with the Enemy.
please do the dragonfly inn in gilmore girls! ,coziest place ive ever seen and we all love cozy!!! impossible to find good images of it online.
Awesome site. Ive gotta suggest Jodie Foster’s Manhattan brownstone in “Panic Room.” Also, the massive lake house in the most recent “When a Stranger Calls.” Both houses in these movies are big supporting characters. Also, the californian houses in ET and Poltergeist are great ones. I have quite a bit of info on those I mentioned plus a couple of the ones you already did (Home Alone and What Lies Beneath) so let me know if I can help!
Remember the old TV series “Family”? It had Meredith Baxter Birney and some other good actors. I loved the house in that series. I watched the episodes to see glimpses of that house.
I just watched “A Perfect Murder” withy Gwyneth Paltrow and Michael Douglas. They have a great apartment in NYC and I would love to see it featured here. I love the bathtub especially.
I love your website!!!! My husband and I have just bought our 1st house and I have gotten many ideas from here. You should show the interiors from the Gilmore Girls. Their house was great and has a lot of personality. The Dragon Fly Inn and her parents house are also amazing.
Also the house from the movie “Zathura” with Tim Robbins and Kristen Stewart. The house from “The Proposal” is beautiful. “Modern Family” and “Cougar Town” have cool houses.
I love this feature! Would you consider doing Amelie in the future?
I don’t see a particular movie on your list or coming soon. Just recently discovered this site and am LOVING IT! I also loved Jack Nicholson’s apartment in the movie, “As Good As it Gets.” I think it would be a good addition to your site. If I remember correctly, there are decent bedroom, living room, kitchen, bathroom, and guest bed shots.
Some movie houses you should do are “The Ghost and Mrs. Muir” and the tv show “Gidget” with Sally Field.
Really really luv ur website which I often check. I luv nice interiors and exteriors but mostly partial to modern ones but wouldn’t mind looking at other styles specially European mansions. Here are some movies that you can maybe feature:
The Glass House (Leelee Sobieski/Diane Lane)
About a Boy (Hugh Grant)
Gosford Park ( Helen Mirren/Clive Owen)
Panic Room (Jodie Foster)
Disturbia ( Shia LeBeouf)
Dan In Real Life (Steve Carrell)
Fracture (Anthony Hopkins/Ryan Gosling)
The Game (Michael Douglas/Sean Penn)
Trapped (Charlize Theron/Kevin Bacon)
I love the cottage in the movie “Love Letters” with Jennifer Jones and Joseph Cotton…another house to build–a charming cottage in the English countryside. The one Joseph Cotton owned is the one I am referring to. The movie was from 1947 I believe.
Would love to see the house from Funny Farm. Here’s a tough one though. The original house / ranch from the original Flicer. I believe it starred Roddy McDowell. Beautiful house in that one. Love your site.
thanks for all your work
Let me correct myself. That’s Flicka, not Flicker
You should post the houses from the orginal Parent Trap with Hayley Mills. I love that movie.
Hi
I love your blog:)
I really enjoy wathing these houses.
Maybe you could show apartments from Friends? It’s my beloved show and Monica’s apartmnt is my favourite.
According to Pride and Prejudice the greatest is Pemberly (in BBC production).
thanks and I can’t wait for more:)
I’d love to see more of the stunning apartment in Three Men and a Baby.
Thank you for this wonderful site, which makes me very happy just opening it. You are doing a wonderful job , which is very well appreciated.
YOU ARE THE BEST!!
Is it possible to have a look at the house/apartment featured in “Cruel Intentions”?
Keep up the good work.
Paulette
I haven’t seen “Cruel Intentions” since it first came out years ago and don’t remember the house in it. I’ll have to revisit that one sometime! -Julia
I would love to see pics of houses from the following:
It’s a Wonderful Life
Divine Secrets of the YaYa Sisterhood
Hope Floats
Cheaper by the Dozen
Gilmore Girls (houses, inn)
Smallville (Kent farm)
I love this site!
I would love to see photos of the beautiful rooms in The Amazing Mr. Ripley .
I’d absolutely love to see shots from Rich in Love but fear it may be a challenge given that you can’t even find it to rent on Netflix… The movie is set in South Carolina and the main house has a lake view and a dock and there is another cottage also featured. All are just gorgeous.
I’m with the other girls! Green Card! Love here kitchen.
I would love to see a house from when a stranger call movie <3
The house from You, Me and Dupree, which was also the location for the TV show thirtysomething, and used at the end of 13 Going On 30.
I would love to see that house!
Hi! I loved your site, tou could do a group of all the desperate housewives houses, it would be very cool!
love your site, thank you by the way!
I love, love, love your website! I stumbled across it while searching for pictures of Meg Ryan’s home in You’ve Got Mail. It is one of several movies I watch repeatedly only for glimpses of the set. I’m so happy to have found your coverage of it and others who share my house obsession. Thankfully, you’ve featured all my other favorite movie houses – Iris’s in The Holiday, Father of the Bride and Must Love Dogs. There are also a few tv houses I’m in love with – Charmed, Dharma and Greg, Murder She Wrote and Newhart. I don’t think they’ve been mentioned before but I thought you and your readers might like them too. I’m off to enjoy more houses on your lovely site!
I’ve just watched Miss Pettigrew Lives For a Day. I’m very tempted to buy the DVD just for the London art deco flat interiors! It would be a great film house to feature. Keep up the good work!
I am in love with the NYC apartment. of Tea Leoni in Ghost Town. It is such a fabulous mix and makes me want to plop down on the sofa and share some wine with the characters. I have tried to take a screen shot from the DVD but it does not work. I have a Mac which lets you grab anything so it must be the DVD. Can you feature this apartment? I can finally stop watching the movie. Ricky Gervais has a great apartment as well….wonderful photographs by James Bleecker. It’s a tad masculine for me though. Love your blog.
I would love to see the actual floor plans for the Funny Farm house.
Also, the cottage house from “The Firm”
My name is Maria, I live in Brzil, and I love your page. I love movies and I love houses and decoration.
I love see here the house of the series “Family”, is a 70′ series. with James Broderick and others.
Excuse my terrible English and congratulations for your work
I love what you’ve done here! I was wondering if you could get some photos of Cheaper by the Dozen Victorian Home. Mainly the upstairs hallway and kitchen. We’re in the middle of designing our house right now and we saw that upstairs and fell in love with it. Also some fun movies would be:
Just like Heaven
Alvin and the Chipmunks
and there are much, much more!! If you could get cheaper by the dozen that would be great!!
You guys have given me enough great suggestions to keep me busy for years to come!
Candace–I have written a post about Alvin & the Chipmunks that I’ll be publishing soon (December). I haven’t seen Cheaper by the Dozen for years, but I’ll see what I can find for you. Thanks! -Julia
Can you get pics from the new movie “The Proposal” of Andrew’s parents house in Alaska it was magnificent.
Emily–
Yes, I am working on a post about “The Proposal.” Love that house! -Julia
nice site! Just watched the movie ” Orphan”. Loved that house, but can’t seem to find any images of it.
My husband and I love your website! We love homes plus we are getting ideas for designing our future home. I would love to see the mansion at the end of National Treasure and I think it’s in the beginning of the second as well. Also, the homes in the Wedding Date movie – I love the wedding scene when they leave the “country estate.” Great website!!! Appreciate your hard work.
LOVE your site!!! I have spent hours going through movies with the “pause” button and carefully trying to “draw” the home floorplans lol. You just saved me. One house I have become interested in lately is the Gosselin’s new home, from Jon & Kate Plus Eight. I was flipping through channel the other day and saw bits and pieces of it and wish I could see more. I’ll bet that house is really beautiful. If you are taking requests, I would love to see it on here!
Cory–

Thanks! ~ Julia
Pleas do the house from the War of the Roses its my dream home chandeilear and all!!
Just thought you might enjoy knowing that the Traditional Home magazine (December 09) is featuring the house for the upcoming movie “It’s Complicated” staring Meryl Streep, Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin to be released in December. The movie is directed by Nancy Meyers who has given us Something’s Gotta Give and The Holiday. A feast for your eyes this Holiday Season and a post for you in the near future.
I love all the homes you have listed! I am in love with the house on “Knocked Up” and would love to see that posted!
Thanks for the time you’ve spent on this site! It’s fun reading everyone’s favorite movie houses and seeing that I’m not the only house-obsessed person out there!
One movie I haven’t seen mentioned is THE STORY OF US. Not a great movie (I watch it with the sound muted), but the house is fabulous! I think it is somewhere in Los Angeles. Maybe you can do a post on it someday.
I love the apartment in Baby Mama, hope to see you add a post on it someday!!
heeey, you’ve follow my advice about desperate housewives! i’m glaad!
Hi Julia!!
Love…Love…Love your blog! I too, am apparently Hooked On Houses!! I took your quiz and answered YES to all but one! (I usually don’t attend open houses). There’s this one street in Eufala, Alabama we travel on heading towards Panama City Beach Florida each year…and I swear I have several videos of those fabulous houses as we’re traveling down the street!! But anyway, have you seen the movie Dan In Real Life? With Steve Carell ? His parents house (in the movie) is GREAT! Would love to see a post on that one.
Keep doing what you’re doing!!…Love it!!
Your site is great! I am happy to see the houses of the tv shows and movies on your site. One addition that would be great, is if you could attach a floor plan to each home, so we can visualize where and how the rooms are laid out. It would give a better feel for the house and the flow inside. Thanks for keeping me “hooked”!
Just discovered this fabulous website!!!! I now have somewhere to go online besides realtor.com! My two suggestions are Holiday Inn and the new Miracle on 34th Street.
Oh, I also thought of Jumanjii and Zathura–I loved both of those houses!
I would love to see stills of Love Actually–they spend very little time in the houses, but each one we see is unique and I love the glossy black door of the prime ministers house. Also going to second Dan in Real Life.
Congratulations for your wonderful research!
I must confess that I have watched some movies, just to see over and over the beautiful houses in wich they where filmed. I was wondering if you have some information about Parrish House (Jumanji) and The Money Pit (with Tom Hanks). Those houses are lovely!!!
In advance, thank you for your contribution.
The Baudelaire Mansion in the series of unfortunate events is a beautiful house. Although you dont see much of it, I loved it the first time I saw it and have been dreaming of visiting it even once! I cant find any info on it but maybe you can
It would be great to see more of it or just know where it is.
I just found your site and LOVE it..the homes you select are a wonderful
variety….
flo
Julia, I am so excited to see you are going to do Meet me in St. Louis. It is my all time favorite house. It is such a beautiful movie to watch. Thank you for your site, I love it and am also hooked on houses!
Becky
Would LOVE to see First Wives’ Club- the house Diane Keaton’s character had. Thank you so much for pulling this all together!!
Just saw Funny People and I’m in love with the Marin house. Any Photos? Thanks for a great site for us house crazy people!
House Fun–
I haven’t seen Funny People yet, so I’m afraid I don’t have any info or photos from it. Sorry! -Julia
I am in love with Carrie Bradshaw’s Wardrobe in the Sex in the City movie as well as the Wardrobe in the Princess Diaries – do you have any pics on this?
Dani–
I haven’t done Princess Diaries yet. Hadn’t thought of that one! I did do a post about SatC, but the focus is on the apartments, not the clothes. You can see it here:

thanks

Sonj–
Thank you for pointing out that I had the wrong link posted for “While You Were Sleeping.” It’s fixed now! -Julia
Thank you so much for such a great website! I would love to see photos from the house in One True Thing with Meryl Streep and Rene Zelweiger.
Could you add Send Me No Flowers? That classic interior elegance of the late 50s/early 60s really played a glorious part of this suburban hit. I loved the living room and the patio of their home. Thanks!
I’d love the see a feature on the Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Great series!
Two of my childhood favorites: Anne of Green Gables (the version with Megan Follows) and The Sound of Music. I would love to see those houses. Thanks for covering Pollyanna – that was my absolute favorite movie as a little girl!
The Money Pit with Tom Hanks and Shelly Long had a beautiful house in it if I remember correctly!!
Hey! I just watched the Christmas movie The Most Wonderful Time of the Year and I absolutely loved everything about the house in that movie. I would love to see more photos from that house. Thanks for your website!
I would love to see the house that appeared in “The Sixth Sense”. Specifically, the house that was featured in Lansdowne, PA. I believe it was the house where a little girl was murdered by her mother. Thanks!
Love your blog! Can you feature the home of LN (Ellen) on the Indie movie ‘Away we Go’. I loved that movie!
Thanks,
sushikaydesigns.blogspot.com
Another great classic house is the one used for Mr. Wilson’s house in the film “Dennis the Menace”. It has a beautiful front porch and the interior is great. I especially love the fireplace in the master bedroom.
glad you did this…I have always watched the backgrounds in movies, had studied architecture and i just loved the holywood stylized homes especially in the 40-50’s..the sunken living rooms, massive beams, wood panelling, massive entry celebrations, details, slanted windows, and on and on….there is a book called TV SETS by mark bennett..has floor plans of tv homes…have you any info. on books with movie home plans? I was in Hollywood and found a copy of the photo of the blandings house in a book store. it is about the only thing I personally had found…I worked out there for awhile…Nowdays I live in my 1857 Gothic family home in Iowa….I still do some work and design on houses. I also did a book Taxicab Scrapbook 1979 on history of taxis in usa. …I love historical stuff!
also: How about the home in
April Love with Pat Boone
houses in Picnic
Xanadu
Bringing up Baby
Nightclub in “Road House” (1947 with Ida Lupino)
Just watched a great old movie starring Debbie Reynolds and Fred Astaire called “The Pleasure of His Company”. The house is from the Nob Hill area of San Francisco with beautiful views of the city.
I just watched the movie “A Season for Miracles”, a couple days ago and the victorian home was gorgeous. It would be a great movie post for Christmas, next year.
Ive just watched the film mermaids with Cher and would love to see the 1950s house from the film
would love to see the Hawaiian house in “You Me and Dupree”
I happened upon your blog a few days ago and have been “visiting” ever since. Not only that, but, I’ve spread the word to some friends who say they are mad at me because they are spending all of their time here. They will get over it, as will I, but not the lovely pictures and tidbits of knowledge. Thank you for doing this wonderful blog. I (and my friends) anxiously await the new ones. You have some of my favorites mentioned for 2010.
Would you consider showing us Karen Blixen’s house from Out of Africa?
you should get pictures of the house from Daddy Daycare and Meet the Fockers
I am so happy to see the Original Parent Trap on the 2010 list.
Thanks so much for doing all of these tv/movie houses.
Looove this site! Thank you thank you. I googled “Diane Keaton’s desk in SGG” and found you. I didn’t see “Dan in Real Life” on your site…maybe I missed it. It is a great movie and Dan’s parents’ house is fantastic. I will check back in frequently.
Becky–
I haven’t covered “Dan in Real Life” yet, but it’s on my list of movies to research. Love that house! Thanks for the suggestion. -Julia
Here’s one that sould be interesting, although it was a set house (seen it once in Hollywood) . It isthe home of Andy Hardy in the Hardy series with Mickey Rooney et al…
Hi Julia, I am new to your site and am so happy to “meet” someone who has the same interestes as myself. Christmas in Connecticut – the house in that movie is one of my FAVORITES. I would also love to see the houses from Holiday Inn (already mentioned above) and White Christmas. There is something amazing about how those houses have a big open farm/barn type feel yet see so warm and cozy – I would love a fire pit inmy house like that in White Christmas!!!!
The Step Mom house address is: 501 N Broadway, Nyack, NY 10960-1213. I found it thanks to Ryan, who said, where to look. Go to http://www.local.live.com to look it up.
I know that I have already suggested this house, but yesterday I watched Matilda and kept rewinding and fastwarding at the 3 story house. I would love to see a post about it because it has been one of my favorite movie houses since I was little. If I could live in any movie house, it would be this one. There’s also Miss Honey’s Cottage and the Wormwood house in the movie too.
Okay, you will really think I am crazy if you thought that the Alvin and the chipmunks thing was. I LOVE the house in Daddy Daycare (eddie murphys) and I have been looking for the picture/painting over the mantle in the living room with the white couches, since I saw the movie in theaters. (years!) Do you have any pictures of the house or that painting over the mantel? I would love to see them.
Courtney–
I don’t think you’re crazy at all! I remember that house. I haven’t seen that movie in years, though, and I have no memory of the painting over the fireplace. Sorry! Hope you can track it down. -Julia
LOVE the site. Really love the section on TV/Movie houses. I have gone over my favorites again and again. Really love Practical Magic & Sabrina but my favorite movie home of all time is the one in Housesitter. I’ve been tempted to order the plans for years just to save, while they’re available and to find out whats in that basement. One of my all time favorite decor movies is Auntie Mame with Rosalind Russell. Don’t confuse it with Mame starring Lucille Ball. Auntie Mame redoes her house many many times throughout the movie as well as her hair color and style of dress. I have found myself watching again and again just to compare the scenes. I hope you can find a place for this cinematic decorative powerhouse at some time in the future. In the mean time, thank you so much for the work you have put into all the other homes posted.
I just watched the 1993 Dennis the Menace movies and LOVED the houses, garden and neighborhood in that movie!
I love the movie Just married with Ashton & Britney.When they get their first alone time the room with the balcony(pink & red whites )Beautiful….Hope that makes the list here..Cause I do like alot of the movies you have on here and the homes I adore those.
Thanks
Please email me when “It’s Complicated” comes to your website! I loved the movie! Also, thank you very much for adding “FOTB” and “Mr. and Mrs. Smith”. Also, do you know if studios have the floor plans for these homes? I really would like to build my own (but copied) home one day and would love to get the plans! Thanks so much for ALL you do!!
GeNae–
I wish the studios did have floor plans! As far as I know, they don’t. If they were smart, they’d sell them.
I’ll be doing a post about “It’s Complicated” on Monday, Jan. 18. Just saw it yesterday and fell in love with Meryl Streep’s house! -Julia
I would love to see the homes in sleepless in seattle (meg ryans baltimore home and tom hanks seattle place on the water)!
Also, the Malibu beach house (at the end of the movie) in Catch and Release with Jennifer Garner…
Carrie–
I have written a post about “Sleepless in Seattle” that I’ll be putting up soon. I remember that great house in “Catch and Release.” Maybe I’ll do that one, too, someday. -Julia
Love your blog. I’m so glad you have Gilmore Girls on there!
My husband and I love the house in White Christmas, which is the same house as Holiday Inn. Would love to know anything we can about it.
Truly love your blog! Have spent most of the afternoon on it!!
Keep up your great work.
I looove your blog. When I found it I couldn’t believe it, because I’ve been searching and searching for a site that shows movie houses for ages.
I love Isobel’s house in Bewitched. And another house that is sort of catching my eye is Courtney Cox’s house in Cougar Town.
Keep bringing us beautiful houses ;o) You’re doing a great job!
Dear Julia,
I absolutely adore your site. It’s pure bliss to come home and relax for a few moments by looking at some of the gorgeous interiors you’re showing here.
This x-mas I watched all my favourite x-mas movies again and I would like to see the interior of the house in “The Family”Man” with Nicolas Cage and Tea Leoni, also some of the houses featured in “Love Actually” would be good to look at.
Best regards, Anneke (The Netherlands)
What a fabulous idea, countless times I’ve watched movies & wanted to see particular details of the home, love this!!! If you’re taking suggestions from your readers, I’d love to see the interior details of the gorgeous bungalow home in You, Me and Dupree, it had a beautiful craftsman-style interior! Thanks for the work you put into this great blog, I’ve bookmarked you and will visit often.
)
Jen B–
“You, Me & Dupree” is on my list, but it’s pretty far down there, so it might be awhile before I get to it. That was a great house! Thanks for the suggestion. -Julia
I love your website! I can’t get enough of it! I have always wanted an amazing house and I dream of how every room would look. These pictures from the movies are so helpful! I was curious if you could find information out about a specific tv or movie house? I just watched Joy Fielding’s ‘The Other Woman’ movie on Lifetime for the second time now and I LOVE the house that is featured in this movie. I looked online for any photos, but couldn’t find any. I did see blogs that it was filmed in Canada and the executive producer is Jason Priestly from 90210 although there is a scene where they eat at a place called ‘Chicago Chophouse’. I mostly am interested in their BEAUTIFUL kitchen. That’s my weak spot for a house.
How do you go about finding certain photos from movies? You do a great job and I know I’m just one of your many fans!
Wow! I love all the research you’ve done on these houses – and can’t wait to see the Sleepless in Seattle house(s) (That Seattle house is supposed to be a houseboat, right?)
Will you consider researching the houses on these movies? ..I’m sure you get lots of requests, I know…
–”Where the Heart Is” stick-built house (probably a set-but I love the floorplan)
–”The Secret Garden” Manor (from the ’90s)
–”The Little Princess” School (also from the ’90s)
–My Girl “Sultunfuss Parlor” house
These houses have great architectual features, IMO
Love the website – thanks!
hey love your site can you please post pictures of the house used in the skeleton key , the house is gorgeous thank you sol
Hooked on Houses is great but pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease don’t make me watch commercials and then another commercial (movie trailer). I can’t mute it fast enough. It just makes me want to leave the site like a streak of lightning.
Brenda–
That’s a new thing I’ve been playing around with this week. Sorry you didn’t like them. -Julia
Please add the house from “The Sopranos”. Many of us would love to see what the inside of the actual house looks like. Many thanks!
Thanks for sharing soooo many fantastick pics of our houses of dreams! I especially liked the photos from Father of the Bride and You’ve got mail.
Please also add this houses:
Anne of Green Gables
Road to Avonlea
Little House on the Prairie
Thanks for a great site!
I have just found you. I am already addicted. I got online to look up pic’s of the Bewitched House and stumbled you! What a treasure chest. What a great idea you had to do this! I love it! I pause movies all the time just to get better looks of homes and you have covered almost every movie set that I have ever loved! I am so excited that you are going to do Out of Africa. I actually searched your blog for it. So when I realized it was on your list for 2010 I was ecstatic. I would love to see Bronte’s (Andie Macdowell’s) home in Greencard. Oh and I second The Family Man request.
I am wondering if you would mind if I used some of your house pic’s on my blog with references and link to you ofcourse?
“Mamma Mia”, “Aquamarine”, and “The Blue Lagoon” would be great!
: )
I’ve been thinking about the house from Judging Amy lately. Not that I need a reason to spend even more time on your site, but I would love to see pictures from that show.
Hi,
I love all of these houses! Would you be able to get the following?: “Stella Dallas” starring Barbara Stanwick (There’s an amazing staircase in this movie); “Hush” starring Gweneth Paltrow; “The Women” starring Joan Crawford; “My Girl” and “Godsford Park”? THESE ARE ALL AMAZING HOUSES!
Thank you
Laurie
Hope this isn’t too ridiculous a query: USA Network’s MONK series. Specifically: Monk’s living room wall color. It’s the perfect shade of latte, cozy, and warmth.
I’ve searched the Monk websites to no avail. Thought Hooked On Houses would be the perfect source for the details; I’d love to paint my own walls tht color!
Thank you in advance,
Molly of San Francisco
p.s. In regards to Monk’s living room color: my question is:
WHAT COLOR IS IT? and by whom?
Thanks again! – Molly
Molly–
Sorry, I have no idea! -Julia
I LOVE, LOVE this website!
You Me and Dupree has a great house with beautiful woodwork! Maybe that could be a future research project?? I would love to see it!
Ive always been a fan of the Munster house which began as the Maxim house back in the early 50’s. It was first used in the film “So Goes My Love”. After being used for several different movies and films it is now one of the houses in “Desperate Housewives”. Its appearance is greatly altered from its original “gothic victorian” appearance in the Munsters.
Another great movie house is the victorian ranch house used in the film “Giant”. It was built as a prop outside Marfa, Tx on a nearby ranch. It was left to ruin over the years and now nothing remains except the telephone poles used as the framework over which the prop was built in the early 50s.
I have found several pics over the years of these houses, and can refer you to websites with more info as well.
Would love to see your take on the Nicole Kidman/Tom Cruise apartment in “Eyes Wide Shut.”
I would love to see photos of the house from You Me & Dupree.
Your website is amazing
Vanessa–
I get requests for “You Me & Dupree” on almost a daily basis. I’ll get to it eventually, you guys, I promise! -Julia
request: the mansion from CLUE !!!
I’ve always admired the psychiatrist’s house in “What About Bob?”.
Found you after a Google search for Nights in Rodanthe, love your site, have you seen the house in “Second Hand Lion” ?
OMG – you are nuts just like I am! I also adore looking at, and obsessing over, houses of every kind. It is so bad that my bedroom has had only a mattress and box springs in it for years, because I’ve looked at so many wonderful master bedrooms in houses on-line that I can’t make a decision!
I would love to see pics from Reese Witherspoons place on the movie “Just Like Heaven” if you have them.
Also, I would like to know more about your obsession, what you do about it and how you find the time to maintain such an elaborate (and wonderful) website.
Thanks for all the fun!
Hi Julia,
LOVED your post on the Parent Trap! If you have time (?) to watch “Please Don’t Eat the Daisies” with Doris Day and David Niven it might be worth a post. I was a little uncomfortable with the underlying theme of the movie which seemed to be “a woman’s place is in the home and her husband is her master, etc.,” (typical 1950s) — and that one of their kids is always locked up in a cage, and there’s a bit of name calling and a few swats… but if you just ignore the plot and focus on the places they live!!!! Gorgeous. The most hilarious part is that they move into a dilapidated old house and it apparently gets fixed up in a week — while they’re living there. Ahem. I guess the general public didn’t know a lot about renovating back then.
I really enjoy your site. Any chance of including Hanging Up with Megan Ryan. Her character’s house was gorgeous!
Julia,
I cannot wait for the TV/Movie houses posting every week, thank you for all your efforts.
Some homes I’m HOOKED on are;
Keeping up with the Kardashians
The Banger Sisters (Susan Sarandon’s character has a beautiful pool)
The Women (Meg Ryan, Annette Benning)…Beautiful estate home
Thanks,
-Kiki-
I would love to see the Adirondack lake house in Dan in Real Life…. even my kids were ready to pack up and move in after watching that very wonderful movie.
I LOVE your website..what a great idea for us house junkies!
Hi Julia I would love to see Hanging Up -Meg Ryan and Miss Potter – Renea Zelwegger I know you have your hands full with all the requests and I thank you….Regards Esther from Sydney.
Please – the classical brownstone in Panic Room
The house that was used in “Sleepless in Seattle” was a houseboat that was never used from the inside. It was all shot from a sound stage. The real houseboat is for sale, going for 3-4 million, and is very small. The owner’s never had anyone actually shoot any scenes from the inside of their home. Also, I would love to see the house from “Disclosure” and “The hand that rocks the cradle”. I am from Washington state and those home’s are gorgeous from the outside!
I think the house from “Disclosure” where Michael Douglas’ family lives is along NE Country Club Road on Bainbridge Island. I don’t know the street address, but here is the lat/long:
47°35′29″N
122°30′8″W
The approximate street address is 11124 NE Country Club Road.
It’s tucked between two other houses.
Hi, I really like the house used in a movie called “Fracture” with Anthony Hopkins. I am hoping its not just a movie set but, even if it is I’d like to see the outside of the house if that was real. I love your website!!! its a great idea. I can’t wait to se what other homes you come up with. Keep up the good work!!
‘Home for the Holidays’ is a good one – starring Holly Hunter , Dylan McDermott, and Robert Downey Jr. It is one of my all time favorite holiday movies. Do you have that one on your list?
Hi I do love your movie house posts and I thought I’d suggest the film Uptown Girls starring the gone too soon Brittany Murphy. Her characters apartment inspired my bedroom at home many years ago and would be great to see that and the other home sets here!
Victoria
I love love love your blog!! Just wanted to say this is the greatest thing I’ve ever seen, and glad to know I’m not alone in my obsession! ; )
Also, I watched “Hanging Up” yesterday, I love Meg Ryan’s house in that film, kind of California, Pottery Barn, Spanish-y. Would love to see pics of that one on here! Thank you so much for what you do!
Your blog is simply fabulous! Can’t wait for The Proposal. I would love to take a closer look at the set design of “Baby Mama” I loved Tina Fey’s characters apartment.
I’m new to your site– love it! How about Monica’s apartment on Friends? Thanks, Robin
love love love the website…….yes i am definitely hooked on houses…..my daughter and i drive around and “SPY” on other houses. we love to go @ night when hopefully you can get a glimpse inside. we have a favorite that we have driven by at least 100 times!!!
i just watched “hanging up” to drool over meg ryan’s hair and was mesmerized by her house. i went to amazon and ordered the movie (to see her hair and house, not the story) also, do you look @ cote sud magazine? it is my favorite in the world. i have them from 10 years ago and sometimes my daughter and i sit for hours on end, pouring over every detail.
thanks, kerry
I cannot tell you how much I love you website!! I’ve told everyone I know to check you out!! I am extremely hooked and find myself checking your site every day for something new.
Great work!!
I have to request the “Daddy Daycare” house. I know it is a goofy movie but the house is just my favorite and it looks like it is actually a real house! It is seriously one of the most beautiful homes I’ve ever seen.
Thanks again, Christi
I am so excited to see that Gilmore Girls is going to be featured this year. I always loved Lorelai’s house. I hope the inn will be included too.
The Charmed house was great too.
One request, how about the house in the ’80s movie Clue?
Thanks!
I love this website…I was wondering if you could please, please post:
Cheaper by the Dozen
Baby Mama(Her apartment)
Just like Heaven.
I absolutely love them…When I sit down to design I always have to pause, it’s the kitchens and hallways and living rooms that I just love!! Thanks!
Candace
Have you ever taken a look at the vacation home in What About Bob? Such a beautiful house!
I recently saw a great house in a Hallmark Cards advertisement on TV. I have tried to find through Hallmark, U-tube and Google if I could get another look at the house. Any ideas?
Steve–
I don’t think I’ve seen it. I’ll have to pay closer attention to Hallmark commercials from now on! ~Julia
Sorry if I am being repetitive, I already left a comment on the home page. I would love to see what you can find on the gorgeous apartment in San Francisco from “Just Like Heaven” with Reese Witherspoon and Mark Ruffalo.
How about the houseboat in”Houseboat” with Cary Grant and Sophia Loren. It was small but so cozy. Also saw “The Whales of Summer” with Bette Davis and Lillian Gish this past weekend and fell in love with their summer cottage.
I love the Gilmore Girls. Lorelai’s house, the Dragonfly Inn, Starrs Hollow, Luke’s, Weston’s–I can’t wait!! I also love Anita’s London townhouse in 101 dalmatians.
I was just watching Mamma Mia and thought of your website. The rustic Greek countryside villa – beautiful!!!!!
Hello. I thought the homes of the Stepford Wives with Nicole Kidman were interesting enought to post here on your website. I will search for pictures and information soon
What about The Lake House with Sandra Bullock and Keano Reeves? Love that movie!
I just watched ‘Miracle on 34th Street’ the one made in 1994 starring Elizabeth Perkins, Dylan McDermott and Mara Wilson. I loved both apartments and the “Catalog” House at the end. Could you also add those?
The grand English manors in the PBS Masterpiece Theater production of Emma- downloadable until March 9, 2010.
Julia, If you are looking for an apartment to do a post on, I like the one from the show “Mad About You”, starring, Helen Hunt and Paul Reiser.
I may have overlooked these but a few houses I have loved are in these movies: Mrs. Doubtfire, The Good Son, Hanging Up. Thanks for a wonderful site!
I know of a beautiful house that would perfect for your site. The yellow house from “Summer Magic” with Hayley Mills. I love the movie and the house!!!!
I´m “desperate” for Desperate Housewives and Gilmore Girls.
There are some movies I would like to suggest…
Me, myself and I – Pamela´s apartment
The sweetest thing – Christina Walter´s apartment
Private Practice – Addison Montgomery ´s beach house and Violet Turner´s house
Kate and Leopold – Kate McKay´s apartment
Melrose Place – the courtyard
I would love to find out more about the house in Great Expectations with Gwyneth Paltrow.
First of all, i must tell you I LOVE your site! Love houses and well just seeing how other people live! there style and taste and this site is JUST so Exciting!
Okay,, i among other things am a Big movie Buff and will buy movies if i like the houses in them! This is the case for the two following movies:
Patriot Games with Harrison Ford **most MOST beauitiful home** even thought movie is a action pack thriller *Tom Clancys books to film** ahhh! Great great house! good movie too !
Time Cop with Jean Claude Van Damn – Now BEFORE you snikker ,, want it to be KNOWN i own NO NO Other Van Damn movies, and I really bought it because of this Amazing House they live in.. i find this DVD for 6 dollars and thought well if i build a home i want it to look like this! No Kidding !! Most of my cousins were

Okay maybe Three :
Also own the movie Rebecca *Alfred Hitchcocks first least known movies* and got very excited that you would perhaps do the house in that movie, Exciting!
you should deffinitly do some of the houses from wisteria lane in desperate housewives please!!!!!!
what happened to desperate housewives project??? I as waiting forward too! soo sad!
Still working on Desperate Housewives! It’s just behind a whole list of other stuff and I didn’t want people to think I’d be posting it soon. I’ll get it done eventually. Don’t worry! -Julia
I enjoy all the movie houses on this site immensely – there just isn’t another comprehensive site around for some of the most loved movie houses on the net, plus seeing the pictures is a good recommendation for those of us who haven’t seen a particular movie, or is a nostalgic reminder of the wonderfully simple films that are forgotten about.
For a couple of films that aren’t so pleasant in their theme I would quite like to see the homes for the film ‘Fatal Attraction’ – the sprawling loft in the meat packing district before it was trendy, the country home. And another Michael Douglas film not so very well known is ‘The Perfect Murder’ with Gwyneth Paltrow. A huge factory/artist loft in a forgotten part of NY and a stunning penthouse apartment in the city.
I think I’m loving the lofts sat here in rural Wiltshire in England.
Great site – more movie/tv lofts please!
How about the beautiful Craftsman in You, Me & Dupree, and Rick and Lily’s homes in Once and Again?
Hanging Up? Mad About You? Thirtysomething?
There’s a fairly new show on USA called “White Collar”. I love the show, and I keep freezing the frame on the home that Peter and Elizabeth live in. The colors and style are great! The other home/set is an amazing historic home in New York–too much to emulate, but beautiful as well. I love your site! Thank you for sharing all these fun homes and sets with the world!
