Movie Set Monday- The Parent Trap- Annie’s England Home

Happy Monday, friends. Last week I shared the first home from The Parent Trap that’s located in sunny California. In the original film, it’s a unique ranch house that I’d move into today and not change a thing. In the remake, it’s a home on a vineyard that has the same chill vibe that invites the outside in with giant windows and multiple pairs of French doors. But you didn’t think I’d go without sharing the England home, did ya? It’s absolutely beautiful inside and out. Scroll through for a look at this gorgeous home. 

Look how charming those window boxes and terrace are.

This home is full of charming details that give it so much character. French doors, columns, molding, built-ins. It’s very traditional, but it’s very beautiful.
The color of this room is so unique. Not many people do a terracotta orange. It looks stunning with all the framed art and photographs. Take a chance on an unexpected paint color. It might be your most favorite thing about your home.

The tone on tone patterned wallpaper is featured throughout the home. When studying the furniture and accessories, you can see it has a very traditional aesthetic. Definitely different from Hallie’s house in Napa.

In the Nancy Meyers version of The Parent Trap, Annie’s mother is fashion designer, Elizabeth James. She designs wedding gowns and has her own store in London. Elizabeth is played by the beloved Natasha Richardson. She was a talented and beautiful actress that tragically died in a skiing accident. I loved her in this film and would have loved to see what she would be doing now.

In the original Parent Trap, Sharon lived with her mother in Boston (not England) across the country from her father and sister, Susan. If you’ve seen the movie, you know the twins switch places in order to know their other parent, therefore, Susan heads to Boston to meet her mother. There weren’t as many photos of this particular home since the majority of the movie is spent in California. However, we do understand why the set decorator went a traditional route when decorating Elizabeth James’ home in the Nancy Meyers version.

Tons of character in this house. Those wooden doors are beautiful.

Well, now I want to watch the original film again. It’s been so many years since I’ve seen it. Have you seen it? I’d also like to know if you prefer the more traditional vibe of these homes or the more laid back feel of the California homes. Check them out here, come back and leave me a comment telling me which house is your favorite. Have a great week, y’all!
