I don't know what it is about January......

but maybe because the holidays are over and all the pretty decorations are put away I am inspired to move furniture and change everything in my house. Seems like a lot of this is going around.  Right now my mind is churning with ideas for the kitchen (please don't tell Dino...he'll have a coronary).

Let me tell you that I am addicted to movie houses and I really obsess over scenes in certain movies so I watch them on YouTube over and over again.

This is my kitchen...kind of blaahhh.  I don't know what I want.  It's not very warm and inviting.  I just took the table out so it even looks colder now.  NOT a movie kitchen.



The "Holiday" movie kitchen would be my dream kitchen. Unfortunately where there is that gorgeous fireplace I have a back door so the fireplace is out. Plus there is so much more room in this kitchen.



I love Practical Magic's kitchen with the back stairs coming down into the kitchen. Ohh don't you just love houses with back stairs?


It's funny because both of those were sets. The houses were actually built just for the movie and then torn down afterwards (sad).

This one is from "Must Love Dogs". I could waste days just watching Dianne Lane movies!  This is the only picture I could find of her movie kitchen. I loved this big eat-in kitchen, it's so comfy looking.



Another favorite "You've Got Mail" has been on TV lately.  Meg Ryan's brownstone apartment is one that I'm fascinated with. Lots of little antiques everywhere....very warm and cozy.



Instead of 2010 being the year of the tiger, I'm hoping it will be the year of the kitchen.  But for now I have this


and a lot of dreaming..........and more movies!
