The enchanting victorian home in Practical Magic

I own the movie Practical Magic, I like the story, but mostly THE HOUSE.  If you haven't seen it, these pics will convince you to grab a copy and watch it ASAP. The house is truly magical.


The house, which was actually built on a platform because the site is a protected Indian burial ground, and no digging is allowed. The house is empty on the inside, and was taken down after filming. The interior was all sets in LA. Though the book takes place in New England, the house was built in San Juan Park in Washington, where the weather is better for filming.

You don't see it in the film - but there was actually a small cottage built on the site as well!

The kitchen is definitely the heart of the home and where they spend the most time

The attic is one of my favorite spaces in the house

Along with the attic, my favorite room is the conservatory, with all the herbs and glass vessels.

What do you think of the house? If you've seen the movie/read the book, do you think the house was a successful interpretation of the Owen sister's sanctuary?

The perfect bedding

I have a weakness for lovely bedding. So opening up the latest issue of Pottery Barn bed and bath was like a surprise birthday party! I usually find something I like, but this issue was just too much! I like so many of the textiles they have out right now. How will I ever pick one? Which collection is your favorite?


Art nouveau inspired bedding! Tatum collection, sells as an entire ensemble (sheets too), $239 for a twin.


Love the colors! Kylie bedding, starts at $29.00



Ruched bedding, like sleeping in a designer gown, starts at $39.00




These quilts must be soooo soft and luxurious. I really want one!



I might like a few pieces from their apothecary collection, but I think the whole set would be a bit much and ruin the novelty of each piece. I think the mirror is cool, and quite edgy for Pottery Barn- in a good way.

Apothecary collection, starts at $14.00, Sienna mirror, the flourishes are imprinted on the mirror's surface, $229.00



Cora Ripple accessories, starting at $12. I love how understated and beautiful this collection is.


Love the velvet pinstripe Marcel chair, not so much the price, $799
