This Old House Goes to the Movies

I love my house.

I hate my house.

I love my house.

I hate my house.

I LOVE MY HOUSE! 

This back and forth has gone on since the day we put in an offer on this house.The first time I brought my parents up to see the house (prior to moving in) I sat in the family room...a.k.a. The Pine Coffin and cried,
"What have I done?"

It is really nothing against the house. I remember when we were looking for houses and the Realtor pulled up in front of this house. I declared  - out loud even -
"I want a house like this one."

 

So what's the problem?...this house is older, our other two homes were newer. This house is mid-1950's construction. Most of the charm had been remodeled away. I am not quite sure how many different additions this house has...still! I think I was terrified of what it was going to take to make this house ours. However, I have tackled the projects, leading up to the two biggest ones...
the kitchen and master bathroom.

As I have mentioned, the kitchen is the task at hand and for now...and while we do have help in the process...it is a time sucker and has really pulled me away from blog land. My world is currently filled with dust, bondo, dry wall, faucets, granite, tile, caulk, and wires. 

My world is also filled with some super-fabulous DIY projects for the DIY Club - you all should head over and follow the DIY Club so you don't miss out! {this site is still under construction, but we are working on it...and you can follow along so as to not miss one single announcement}. I have also cut my coffee consumption {again}...seriously 8 cups of coffee a day cannot be good...so that is not helping at all....it will eventually but not for the moment.

So, as I finish up the kitchen, I dream of a new master bathroom, but for now I will be happy that the saloon doors are no longer a part of said master bathroom. And I will look for escapes, like the following, in my daily DIY routine to kill time...

Now for the fun part {sorry, I have never been able to cut to the chase}!

As I was driving to Home Depot the other day, the local (super-lame) radio show asked, "What is your go-to movie?" Ya know, that one movie that even though you have seen it 100 times cannot pass up if you flip by it. This got me thinking about all the good...and bad...movies I L-O-V-E to watch {or would love to watch if they ever showed them...just wait until you see my list} no matter what.

In no particular order, my go-to movies!

*Top Gun*

*Youngblood*

*Six Pack*

*Breakfast Club*

*Shawshank Redemption*

*Any Bourne movie*

*Witches of Eastwick*

*Strange Brew*

*Gentlemen Prefer Blondes*

Odd selection, perhaps?

So, what is your go-to movie?

PS-I do LOVE my house...I love and adore its quirks...I have found it's charm...
I have made it ours. It is not a just a house...it is home - sans saloon doors!
