Movie Homes: The Parent Trap, London

Another amazing movie house is the London flat in the 1998 film The Parent Trap. Like the Father of the Bride house this is also beautiful on both the inside and the out and again, I would gladly pack up and move right on in!
Talk about curb appeal!
In my mind this is such a classic London home. The clean lines and divine plants (take note of the greens throughout the house- fresh flowers everywhere- always a MUST!) all take me back to the streets of one of my favorite cities! As you know I love walls filled with things and color so this entry is nothing short of fabulous in my opinion! Everything just works together and compliments everything else. It is truley fabulous.
What elegant stairs- I think these are the best part of the entire home! They are not too close to the door and the curve is just, well, luxurious! I also love the pseudo Mud Room to the right of the stairs and the tiny glimpse of the outside makes this elegant home seem oh so quaint.
Another favorite room of mine is the Dining Room. The walls appear to be covered in fabric which I adore. Like the entire home, this room with it's antiques, art and elegance (and butler!) is just so English to me.
What a DIVINE, London home. Nancy Meyers just does it every single time; what a talent she has!

I LOVE THIS POST! Staircases have enchanted me since I was a child & begged my parents to buy a house for the spiral staircase. A favorite is the staircase in the Home Alone house. These pics were a delight. Thanks!

I loved that house too! And my 11 year old self totally coveted the London wardrobe as well!

This is one of my all time favorite movies! I used to imagine being Annie all the time. Living in this house with a mom who is a famous wedding dress designer? Wonderful life. :)

Agreed, the parent trap house is impeccable! I'll be in London for all of next year and I'm so thrilled to be surrounded by such great taste and history!

Aaah the days when Lindsay Lohan was young and innocent! If you watch the bonus features, you can see/hear her say she wants to be like Jodie Foster, go to college and be a great actress. Where did that girl go?

Mrs. Smith said...

Oh how I love this movie!

Headbands and Hand Bags said...

It is one of my all time favorite movie locations!

My husband and I are wanting to re-do our home, so I really enjoyed reading your blogs about the home decorations in all the classic movies!

One of my fav movies ever! Anyone know the area of London that house is in?

Kathie Truitt said...

Yes, Lindsey was young and innocent during this movie. But the one I miss is her movie mom Natasha. She was so elegant and understated in this movie. ((sigh)).

Oh my goodness this is one of my favourite movies! I still love the clothes Annie gets dressed in - so classic.
