Posh LA abode and a swanky house in London town...

Do you guys remember that movie, The Holiday? Believe it or not, it's one of my favorite movies for several reasons. Not only does it have 2 of my favorite actresses, Cameron Diaz and Kate Winslet, there's the always stupidly funny Jack Black, and the oh so good looking Jude Law (sorry Mango, but he is). Not to mention, that Cameron and Kate prance around the whole movie in the prettiest clothes. However, that is not the main reason why I love this movie...it's their houses!!!!

In the story, both ladies come from completely different lives. Cameron Diaz plays a hot shot movie trailer editor who lives in a gorgeous home in LA and Kate Winslet it a writer that lives in a cozy cottage in London. Throughout the movie you're not only staring at the great clothes and Jude Law, but the homes steal the show. Yesterday during my blog perusing, I stumbled upon the awesome blog called Cote de Texas. It's written by an interior designer based in Texas that loves French decor. However, another love is movie homes and their decorators. So you can imagine how I practically began to hyperventilate when I saw that she did a feature on the homes from The Holiday. In fact, I featured a bedroom picture yesterday as inspiration.

Sit back and enjoy, these are some of my favorite pictures, to see more click here.
Cameron's house:
Kate's house:
I'll take both please! If you scroll down on Cote's blog, she also has pictures of another fabulous movie home...Diane Keaton's Hampton house from Something's Gotta Give! I'm starting to hyperventilate again...
