Homes used in the Twilight Films

Yes this is a Twilight post. You are either excited or rolling your eyes. I was doing a google search for Robert Pattinson when photos of the house used in the Twilight movie came up. Maybe you aren't a fan and you have never even seen the movies. Well the house is a beauty! The house is actually called "The Hoke House", owned by John Hoke, designed by Sklab Architecture.

The first Twilight movie is my favorite. The more I watch the newer films, I dislike them. I love the first one because it is low budget and I felt it was more true to the story. One of my favorite things in the house is the staircase.

The staircase leads to Edward's bedroom. I dream of having a house with this many windows!

The kitchen is nice and open!

Until today, I had no idea that a different house was used in New Moon. Duh. I feel dumb. I have watched the movies a million times and never caught it. I assumed they used the same house in all the films. Of course in New Moon, there aren't really a lot of "Cullen" scenes. This home was on the market for 3 million dollars!

Then I find out that they just build a house in a sound set now. Wouldn't it had just been cheaper to purchase the house above for $3 million and be done with it? lol I guess I don't make movies, so I don't understand how stuff works. It's not like they couldn't of sold it and got the money back.

Well I went and saw Eclipse on Monday night with Cody. I really enjoyed it. It was amazing how FAST paced the movie was. Speeding through an 800 page book in 2 hours. I think they stayed true to the book for the most part. I enjoy reading the book better, but love seeing Robert Pattinson on the big screen. {DREAMY} I have to say that I really think Kristen Stewart is a good actress. It makes me sad to hear all the mean comments people say about her. I hope she goes on to do great things after the Twilight movies are over.

Twilight Inspired Bathroom

Today I was searching the web for inspiration and stumbled across this cute bathroom by The Mosaic Queen. I have been kinda stressed this week and not feeling very creative. This bathroom cheered me up a bit...





I love how she used the UNG DRILL frames from IKEA to dress up her plain bathroom mirror! What a cute idea! {I might have to steal that one! Spray paint it HOT PINK!!} Please visit her blog to view more photos and read more about her bathroom. {HERE}

Design Plan for My Bathroom

I would love to redecorate my tiny bathroom that is tucked away in my bedroom.



Sadly the ceiling and some of the walls are damaged by the leaking roof. Our roof has been nothing but a headache since we bought the house!!! Hopefully we can get it fixed in the spring and I will be able to design my "new" bathroom. I want dark purple walls with pops of white! I think black and white photos of Edward Cullen would be pretty! ; ) My bathroom is a light pink color currently. Now that I have my pink office, I don't really want pink walls anywhere else in the house. My husband is very happy about this! lol (But he could go with out the Edward pictures,...but its MY bathroom!)

Joining the Twilight Bandwagon

I hate to admit this.......



But I guess I joined the "Twilight Bandwagon". I decided to rent the first movie the other night to see what the big deal was!! Well, I am sucked in now. I started reading the first book and I already went and saw New Moon. lol I don't like to read. It is rare for me to find something I can't sit down. With it being cold outside now and dark at 5pm, it is nice to crawl into bed with a book!







Images are from Vanity Fair. I love photography and found these photos stunning.
