the family home

It was love at first sight when I saw Family Stone with my dear buddy Jillian, back when it was out in theaters. Maybe it's because I'm such a Mama's girl, or maybe I could relate to the big-family aspect (there's five kids in the Stone family), but I loved this movie. I even listed it in my top five favorite Christmas movies:)

These pictures are from Hooked on Houses, and if you haven't read that blog yet, you should. It's great!!

What's not to love about this house? It's adorable.

It's clear that the Stone children were allowed to do a bit of their own decorating when they were kids (so was I!), and the set designers did a great job of showing the children's individual personalities. Just look at Everett's room - you can tell he was bound to be a future businessman/world traveler.

Artsy and sassy Amy must have gone through a bit of a rebellion. She moved to the attic!

Love all the woodwork and the built-in bookshelves.

Love the brick wall and the table used as a kitchen island. I've blogged about my love for antique tables used as a kitchen island before.

Nothing says "family" like a big wall of black and white photographs. I need to start taking our film camera with us everywhere so I can start a photograph collection of our own little family.
