Movie Inspiration again

When I woke up today, I decided to watch Nanny McPhee......If you haven't noticed by now, I love kid movies!!! But I must admit, ya'll have ruined me....LOL, I can't just watch a movie for entertainment purposes anymore, lol, instead I find myself dissecting the houses and sets!!! And the house in this movie is no exception!! Uncle Orson
(from : http://www.hatrack.com/osc/reviews/everything/2006-01-29.shtml)
called the house a 'glorious architectural nightmare', and I can't agree more!! I love the colors in this house, so bright and so friendly...and yet everything is aged to perfection! I love the blue and red front door, and I've never like blue and red together! The stained glass windows are gorgeous!

See...this is a picture of the sitting room in the house. See how brilliantly bright that green is! I just love it!! And it's even better in the movie, the top half of the room is slightly darker than the bottom. And I Love Mom's pink chair, and the olive green and gold curtains......Everything works so well together!

If you'd like to see a preview of the movie, you can check it out here:

Now do you see why I'd love to build this house in mini?? Yeah! I know.....no more houses.......But it sure would be a fun project! Maybe one day!

I did manage to get a little done on Marshmallow Manor today, too! I paper-clayed the front walkway, haha- I'm laughing because I feel so accomplished, and yet I've done so little, haha. I just have to go back and fill in some cracks and I think I'll be ready to start painting the outside of this house soon!
And one last picture before I go......One of the towels that was one the porch, blew off and into my flower bed.......So Pocus decided to take a nap in my hosta's...lol....guess it's cozy in there now?? Silly Kitty!!
OK...until next time! Take Care! :)

Now madly searching for my "must-see-movie" list to jot this one down. You could always just do a room box if you didn't have room for another house ;) That living room is awesome! -ara

I love Nanny McPhee! Have you seen Mr. Majorium's Wonder Emporium? That toystore and house would be great in mini, too!

I just love seeing your cats' antics :-)

I so need to see that movie.

Pocus looks so comfy there. What a lovely place for a nap indeed. ;-)

Love the walkway!

Katie, Nanny Mc Fee is one of my favorite guilty pleasures. If I am flipping through the channels and happen to see that it is on, I can't resist stopping and watching. It is wonderful!

The other one that I would like to do is the round Munchkin houses from Wizard of Oz. See you are quite normal!......

We love Nanny Mc Phee,always putting it on on a wet Sunday to watch. A magnificent house, so colourful. The Wonder Emprium would be a job and a half to do!! Another great house is in the new Coraline Film, Kate xx
