Holiday Houses

Happy 4th of July Weekend! I am so excited to spend some time outdoors with good food, friends, and family. What are your plans?
.
So, yesterday, I was watching The Holiday (Cameron Diaz and Kate Winslet) for about the millionth time, and kept wishing that I could live in Kate/Iris's house. Isn't it divine? Cameron/Amanda's house is just as cute. I found these close up pictures for the sets-- maybe you'd like to take a peek. The movie's writer, Nancy Meyer, had the help of her personal interior designer, James Radin, to create the ambiance. Here are the interiors:

Amanda Woods: L.A. (Cameron Diaz)

Iris Simpkins: England (Kate Winslet)

Aren't they both so amazing? I must admit I loooove the English Cottage. Totally my style. Which house do you like better?

Have a good weekend of celebration!

I'd like both houses, please.

P.S. The best part of the LA house is the electric blinds for the windows in the bedroom! I'd really love to have those!!!

Oh, Kate Winslet is my fave. I'm in love with the English cottage book corner.

I love both of these houses! I would like to live in kate's house more but with those automatic shutters that cameron's house has in the bedroom to make it pitch dark! that was the coolest thing.

Love this movie for the sets! I love Kate's house, so cozy! I love snow and fireplaces! Cameron's house has a lot of great features too! Would probably end up filling Cameron's house up with all of the charm of Kate's house! I like the mix of old and new!
