I know it is always a favorite topic in blog world but I, too, am guilty of being obsessed with this movie. I admit that I put it in at least once a week to look at a table or a chair or when I have insomnia. I also highly recommend the soundtrack! :-) Very wonderful.
I actually love the STORY and the HOUSE! She is an awesome character and I would love her life - Erica Barry! Now whenever I see something that would be from her house, my catch phrase is, "Oh that's so Erica Barry"! LOL Too funny.
I became obsessed with the transom windows which served as headers over all of her doorways - SWEET!

Since my budget won't allow for me to have Mr. Fix It come and make my dreams come true, I have to do it myself. So, I headed over to my trusty, dusty Builders Surplus store here in Chicago and look what I found!
Two side lites for a picture window. BRAINSTORM - I can use those for a header in between my dining room and living room. YAY! And they were the perfect width, height, and price. They were $49.99 down to $45.99 with an extra 35% off. SCORE! They are exactly what I was looking for but I think I can make it work - just a little more effort is necessary. Story of my life! Just add this to my list of projects but I absolutely cannot wait. I think I have ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) because I seriously cannot stay focused on one project - terrible habit! Ok, off to spray paint a light! :-)
I wish I had some of your DIY skills! And I agree about loving Diane Keeton's house in the movie - it is amazing.
ReplyDeleteActually you do - you just have to have the confidence to jump in and do it! Most of the stuff really isn't that hard - the old saying is true... measure twice, cut once! You'll never know until you try!
