Beach House in Something's Gotta Give Movie. Recently, I took a little vacation to Savannah, Georgia. It was a wonderful trip and when I returned home that weekend, I couldn’t wait to pull out one of my favorite “beach house” movies, Something’s Gotta Give. Do you remember this amazing living room from that movie house?

I feel the same way about those same movies, KathySue. The same goes for Baby Boom, Father of the Bride, Sleepless in Seattle, The Holiday, and The Parent Trap!

Come along and let’s take a tour of the whole house…it’s an amazing movie house! Somethings Gotta Give is one of those movies you just have to watch at least once every summer. Joni, whose beautiful blog is Cote de Texas, believes the beach home in this movie to be the most beloved “movie” home ever.

I might have to debate that one with her because I kind of think the house in Home Alone takes that honor. Okay, maybe they both qualify since the movies are from different time periods and the homes are so very different in style.

A while back, Linda, Megan and Joni of The Skirted Roundtable, interviewed Beth Rubino, the Set Decorator for Something’s Gotta Give. In The Skirted Roundtable interview, Beth Rubino says, “The house was the 4th main character in that film.” She is so right.

50 great movies to watch on a date with your hubby! 1 I celebrate myself, and sing myself, And what I assume you shall assume, For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you. I loafe and invite my soul.

The phones of designers were ringing off the hook for months and months after the release of Something’s Gotta Give. It seemed everyone on planet Earth wanted their home decorated to look exactly like this wonderful beach house. We get our first look at the home when Harry Sanborn, played by Jack Nicholson, and Marin Barry, played by Amanda Peet, first pull up to the house with plans of a romantic weekend. Marin thinks her mom and successful playwright, Erica Barry, played by Diane Keaton, is away for a few days. Surprise! Erica walks in shortly after the pair arrive and the fun begins. This beautiful home is actually located in Southampton, NY. But, I might as well break the news to you early on…in case you don’t know.

It turns out, only the exterior shown in the movie is of a real house. Unfortunately, all of those beautiful interiors we love are just set designs created on a stage at Sony Studios. Bummer. I know. I felt the same way when I found out the adorable English cottage in The Holiday wasn’t real either. Even the leaves on the trees are fake. Yep, it was May and the trees hadn’t leafed out yet in that area. Imagine having the job of gluing on all those leaves on that tree in the picture above! But take heart because the interiors are still completely wonderful, inspiring and totally doable!

Here’s a view of this Southampton home at night. Lovely! One more of the exterior before we head inside. I think most everyone has seen this movie, but if you are one of few folks who has not: The plot involves a confirmed bachelor, Harry, and he is dating the 2. Marian, of well- known playwright, Erica Barry. The weird thing is Harry is the age of Marin’s mother, so you can imagine just how thrilled Erica is with the relationship. She and Harry don’t hit it off well at all but ironically, he ends up having to stay at her home for several days to convalesce from a near heart attack.

They grow closer and well…you can guess the rest. Keanu Reeves plays a young doctor, Julian Mercer, and he falls hard for Erica whose work he has always deeply admired.

Erica goes from zero men in her life to two! Complicated! Now for our tour inside…this room has captured the heart of many. I think one of the reasons we all love it so much is because it feels like a real home.

It has that “collected” look as if it has evolved over the years, instead of being “decorated.” The slipcovers also give it that beachy, casual feel, yet the whole room has an air of elegance, too. You could see yourself collapsing on one of these sofas after a long day with a bowl of popcorn and a good book or movie. Of course, one of the highlights of this room, perhaps it’s most remembered element, is the striped blue and white dhurrie rug. The story behind this rug blew me away!

It turns out when the Set Decorator, Beth Rubino found this rug, it was just what she had pictured for this huge family room. Only one problem, the rug was gigantic…over 7.

So, she had it cut (gasp) and pieced together to fit the room in the movie. Take a look at this picture below. Weird looking isn’t it. Have you ever seen a rug where the stripes didn’t remotely match up. Now you know why!

The only thing that bothered me about this was it was an antique rug. I know it was just a dhurrie, but I don’t think I could have had an antique rug cut up. How about you? I guess a Set Decorator has to do whatever it takes to get the job done under deadline. Of course, we don’t really notice these details while we are watching the movie.

Those only came out later once the home became this HUGE sensation. If you’ve always coveted the look of this room and you would love your own blue and white striped dhurrie, there are lots to be found online. I Googled and found these five below at Cottage and Bungalow. Here’s a collage showing all five.

A collage isn’t the ideal way to share these; they looked a lot better online at Cottage and Bungalow. Watch The Forsaken Online. The one in the middle is a ticking design. I love all of these.

They have striped rugs in every color imaginable, not just blue and white. I’m not affiliated with Cottage and Bungalow…just sharing the good stuff when I find it.)Another one of the “stars” of this room is the beautiful Swedish, Mora clock. Imagine for a moment this room without that clock. Just not the same, is it? Scroll back up a couple of pics for a bit better view of that wonderful clock.

I would love a Mora…just love the shape! A view of the room during a big storm that takes place during the movie. It’s nighttime now and Erica and Harry have called a truce. In this scene in the family room, they are meeting halfway in route to the kitchen for a late night snack. Let the romance begin.

A little reading area is tucked into the corner of the family room…. Have you always longed for a small library in your home, but don’t have the room? Consider doing something like this in the corner of a large room. You could even tuck a beautiful antique or wood card table with a couple of chairs in to the corner for a cozy spot for a board game. I love this look with the pair of rattan chairs, too. Watch Not Another Not Another Movie Online.

Besides the family room, the other room designers were most requested to copy was the kitchen. See those beautiful soapstone counters? Would you believe they are actually plywood? Yep, plywood painted to look like expensive soapstone. The magic of the movies. This kitchen is bright and cheerful, a place you just want to be. I love the glass- front cabinets in the kitchen.

I redid my modest kitchen, and cut out the center of the cabinet doors and installed glass into the front of 6 cabinets in 2. It was a DIY project and for once, I was ahead of the trend curve.

That NEVER happens. I decorate for me anyway and not trends.

Bet you do the same. Another section of this lovely kitchen. Hard to believe that isn’t real soapstone.

Love the subway tile…so classic, crisp and clean. We get a little glimpse into the small sitting area off of the kitchen in this view. The third most talked about room in the movie, Something’s Gotta Give, is the dining room. During The Skirted Roundtable interview, Beth Rubino explains the source of the inspiration for the design of this room.

It turns out a good friend of hers had a wall like this filled with a dish collection in her dining room. Beth loved the look so she duplicated it for the movie, filling it with a beautiful collection of ironstone. Designers were busy, busy, busy searching down this gorgeous fabric after Something’s Gotta Give was released.

It’s called Bordeaux Toile and is made by Lee Jofa. It is wonderful, isn’t it? Can you ever, ever go wrong with toile? I love all the contrasts in this movie…the light against the dark and the casual against the elegant.

Is there such a term in decorating as casual elegance? The house feels that way, dressy but casual. The style of the furniture is truly elegant, along with the built in china cabinets, but the slipcovers convey comfort with style.

Top 5. 0 Most Romantic Movies to Watch as a Couple. I recently asked the 9.

Facebook: Name your favorite romantic movie. Every movie that got more than one vote I entered into a spreadsheet. Then I ranked them by number of votes. So if you’re looking for the best romantic movies or the best romantic comedies, you came to the right place! And so, without further adieu, here are the top 5.

Facebook), along with a bit of my commentary: 1. The Notebook. An unlikely couple fall madly in love as teens, but are separated by her parents and circumstances. They find each other years later, and the love is still blazing.

Honestly, I don’t think this movie would have worked without the parallel story of the couple when they’re older, played by James Garner and Gena Rowland. The young love story is a little annoying. The witness of the love through the years is lovely. And the final scene is the best I have ever seen in a movie. I totally understand why this was #1! The downside? Lots of sex before marriage. And I’ve told my girls not to watch it because it’s really quite erotic.

They don’t need that at their age. Pride and Prejudice.

I combined votes for both versions (the BBC version and the Keira Knightley version) into one. There really is nothing more romantic than Mr. Darcy, who loves Elizabeth, and pursues her relentlessly though he’s rather bad at it. The five hour version is still my favourite. What I love about Jane Austen, who wrote the book that inspired the movie adaptations, is that she treats love like it should be a serious choice, not just an infatuation we give in to. Elizabeth doesn’t care for Mr.

Darcy at all at first, but as she knows his character, he becomes attractive to her. That’s the way to decide whom to marry; to look at the person objectively and realize whether or not they would be a good choice. How many women have rejected perfectly wonderful marriage partners because that weak- kneed feeling wasn’t there right off the bat? Austen shows us that true, deep love is a combination of attraction and deliberation, and it really works. Fireproof. A lout of a guy has taken his wife for granted, used porn, and acted selfishly. Now he’s in danger of her leaving, and reality hits and he does a 1.

He decides to love her unconditionally. His pursuit of her is certainly romantic, and it gives us hope that even difficult relationships can be turned around when one party decides to fight for love. A beautiful gospel message intertwined, too. PS I Love You. Definitely romantic. A husband dies young, and his bereft widow is completely at loose ends.

Can she ever love again, or even get on with her life? I really enjoyed this movie, though I found the final relationship she settled in a little bit too typical. They go to bed first, then the love comes. A little much. But what I appreciated about the movie was that it portrayed her marriage realistically.

She and her husband hadn’t always gotten along. They’d both annoyed each other. They’d both done things wrong. Yet the love was real and enduring.

Princess Bride. Sometimes, when I want to tell my husband I love him, I still say, “As you wish”. You cannot explain this movie. You have to experience it.

It’s in a category by itself, and even kids can enjoy it along with adults. Robin Wright did a superb job as Buttercup. And there are certain lines you will never, ever forget. Is it romantic? Perhaps that word doesn’t mean what we think it means. An Affair to Remember. An oldie but a goodie!

But true confessions: I’ve never seen it. My whole knowledge of it is tied up in all the references to it in Sleepless in Seattle. So this is on my “must watch” list now! It is a classic, though, so I’m going to assume it’s great because it’s stood the test of time. You’ve Got Mail. The first big blockbuster movie to delve into the question: can we fall in love with someone we met online? Director Nora Ephron brought Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan together again for this movie after the success of Sleepless in Seattle. The two seem destined to do movies where they’re each other’s love interest, but appear together in hardly any scenes.

I really did enjoy this one. Again, it shows that the main point of choosing whom to love is delving into their character. I’m all for movies like that! A Walk to Remember. True confessions: I haven’t seen this one either. Never even really heard of it, but so many people rated it the most romantic ever!

So now I’ll have to. I have nothing to say about this one, except it’s next on my list. It’s based on a Nicholas Sparks book, and while I love some Sparks books, I don’t love them all. So we’ll have to see whether this is a good one! Ever After. Love this movie! Drew Barrymore stars in an adaptation of Cinderella that truly works.

As long as you realize this is supposed to be a fairytale, the movie is lovely. The scene with the gypsies is hilarious, well done, and definitely romantic. Best of all, there’s nothing objectionable in this movie. Old and young can enjoy it together.

I think we watched it when our youngest was 7 for the first time, and we all loved it. The first 9 minutes of the movie Up. If people realized they could vote for PARTS of movies, and not whole movies, I’m sure this would have been #1. The most romantic 9 minutes of movie time ever. Here it is: 1. 1. Time Traveler’s Wife. A man is born with a horrible condition where he travels through time involuntarily.

Things could be going well, and all of a sudden he’ll be gone. And you don’t know when he’s coming back.

But in his travels he meets and marries his wife, who has to live with never knowing when her husband will be there. And everytime he comes, he’s out of sequence.

Sometimes he’ll be 5. I suppose it’s romantic, but I couldn’t really get into it. Still, it’s pretty high on the list. Not one of my favorites, though. I think I analyze time travel movies too much. Sense and Sensibility.

I love Austen! And the scene where Elinor finally loses it, after a whole movie of keeping her emotions in check, and starts bawling at Edward’s proposal is one of my favourite movie moments of all time. This movie is as close to perfect as any movie I have ever seen. Emma Thompson, who stars in it but who also wrote the screenplay, did an amazing job of capturing Austen’s story in just 2 1/2 hours. And I totally agree with the main message of this movie: Don’t let your feelings carry you away; love should be deep, and based on something beyond just feelings. A warning, though: this really is a chick flick. Watch it with your girlfriends, don’t make your husband sit through it! Titanic. Two Kate Winslet movies in a row!

Yet this one is the opposite of Sense and Sensibility–it’s all feelings and drama and emotion. Watch The Bellboy Tube Free. And no one has to wonder what the ending will be.

Everything in this movie is big–the love, the emotion, the tragedy. And it’s all magnified because we know what’s coming. The love in this is just over the top–I mean they only had a few days to fall madly in love because the ship’s going to sink. If you’re in the mood for a sweeping escape, fine. But don’t think that this is actually true to real life love! And the sex scenes are graphic, too.

Sleepless in Seattle. The quintessential romantic movie. In fact, Nora Ephron made this movie to celebrate romance in movies. It works. You really root for them by the end. A fun chick flick. What I like about it, too, is that they include Hanks’ character’s son in the romance.

It’s not just about two people; it’s about taking on an entire family that needs love. That’s real love. It’s not profound, but fun. The Vow. I was a little disappointed in this movie, as I’ve written before. The true story is better than the fictional one presented here. The truth: a couple has been married briefly when she suffers a serious head injury. She awakes and does not remember him (and in fact thinks she’s still in a relationship with someone else).

Her personality has changed. Yet he sticks by her because he made a vow, and in the end they’re happy together.
