Somethings Got to Give - or this will do

Everyone fell in love with this movie.  If not Diane and Jack, then the Hamptons home of Diane's character.  Every time I look at that movie I see something else I love.  This house has the same feel and is just one more example of how spot on that movie was.

 

 

 

Excuse me - I think I've got some moving to do. 

 

Inspiration

Sitting out on the front porch watching the neighbours go by…

Canadian House & Home

This is the inspiration photo for my front porch.  We have a bit of a wind tunnel effect here and things tend to fly off during storms so it’s always a bit of a race to get things into the house before a storm hits.  I'd need something heavy enough, but I like this peaceful look.

Actually this front porch is from the 2010 Princess Margaret Hospital Showhome located in Oakville, Ontario.  This is a wonderful lottery that benefits the Princess Margaret Hospital Foundation, Canada’s leading cancer research hospital. 

The 2010 showhome drew inspiration from the Something’s Gotta Give movie house of Diane Keaton’s character.
