Thank you so much!! 🍁🧡☕I find UK Victorian so much more demure and I guess slightly boring (although I guess I'm just used to seeing them). American Victorian is so unbelievably beautiful to me, with all of the woodwork, colours and elaborate designs 🤩
This made me realize exactly how much that movie backdrop inspired me and continues to now. I don’t live near the sea but I have set out to make my garden as magical as I can on a budget. One of the influences would be the beautiful garden beds and seating areas. I have been working on that for a few years. Planting not only food but medicinal herbs with which to make salves, tinctures, teas etc. I have two large jars of botanicals steeping over low heat right now in olive oil in order to make a comfrey healing salve for someone’s hurt shoulder. And having a beautiful greenhouse became a dream for “someday” when we could get to building one ourselves. That someday finally arrived now that we have the time. Husband brought home the biggest heaviest plate glass window for the front the other day that I have ever seen locally. It has the beautiful grid trim across the front and it took four men to unload it. I’m so excited! Finally after all these years. I’m going to make it every bit as beautiful as the one in that movie, but we’ll be custom building it ourselves. We have extensive renovation experience so it won’t turn out badly. Anyway as I sort of followed the direction of making the garden something special, we get a lot of people who slow down and go by here looking at everything. Some even turn around and drive back by. We’re on the corner of a cross section of two streets and every once in awhile I see someone stop on that corner across from our house with a straight view of it-and they just sit there for awhile looking if no cars are behind them. It makes me feel proud that they like it enough to do that. If I can do this on a budget, I think a lot of people could. It takes resourcefulness and hard work but it’s doable. An example would be my pond and waterfalls area. I decided I wanted a little pond to catch an overhead rain curtain waterfall feature that rains down from above into the pond, so I got on Facebook marketplace and found pond liners and equipment for $45 usd. They were secondhand but worked just fine. I dug it mostly myself while my husband was at work and hauled more dirt to create a hill for the waterfalls in a wheelbarrow. He helped me install the components and built an overhead archway out of 4x4 timbers that I then stained a natural color. He ran copper pipe up the side and over the top of the pond on the underside of the archway and mounted it with holders. Then drilled small holes in a line on the underside of the pipe and installed a shut off valve on the pipe bottom part from which to turn it on or off or change the speed at which the water rains down from above. It’s very very beautiful now and people freak out over it now that it’s all planted with a weeping cherry tree, bushes, weeping blue spruce tree, asiatic lilies, rose bushes, hostas, tall banana trees in the very back, fountain grasses, hardy hibiscus bush, and various low growing perennial flowers. The front of the pond is planted with low ground cover wooly thyme to keep the grass out and back away from the stepping stones in front. All of that beauty from a $45 set of second hand pond liners and a lot of hard work. People wouldn’t even need to pay for plants if they couldn’t because so many people put up free “you dig” plants and bushes from their yards on marketplace. If you go dig them up they just give them to you. Same for pavers or landscaping blocks.
The reason they probably didn’t stick with complete. Victorian decor on the inside is because the majority of Americans are obsessed with redoing things, and they probably assumed that somebody would’ve redone the house during the craftsman era and Sally would’ve had her room redone for the time it was filmed. Wonderful job going over one of my favorite movies ❤
That's so true Heather! I did laugh out loud when I watched the movie and Sally's room was literally the most 90s interior I'd ever seen 😄 Thanks for your lovely comment 😊✨💜🔮
I never watched the movie, but I do love the style! Queen Anne architecture is what I love. I was visiting my mom in Colorado Springs last week and fell in love all over again with all of the homes close to the college. I guess I've always been a cottage core person. Nice to know the elements of the design to know what I love and why. Thanks for posting this video!
Thank you Jazdia! 💜✨ I agree, I find Queen Anne architecture so interesting. Our version of Victorian architecture in the UK is ALOT more dialled down😅 I love things like the Carson mansion and practical magic house 🏠 It's on my bucket list to visit all of these kinds of homes!
Don't kill me. I've never seen this movie. After watching your video, I'm ordering it now. I ADORE Victorian architecture. Your video Was fascinating, as they all are. Thank you. Have a lovely evening. Blessings - Judith 🎭🎤
The white pom Pom flower in the conservatory is a Narcissus, also called paperwhites in America. The bulbs are readily available at garden centers in autumn and easy to force inside in a glass with pebbles and some water. If you start them in about 2-3 weeks, you’ll have blooms indoors for Christmas.
@@dantierandbalogh yes. It’s a daffodil that isn’t cold hardy unless you’re in a very warm place like Florida. It’s like an amaryllis. You force the bulb inside in pretty vessel in pebbles and water for the holidays but it won’t overwinter outside in Scotland (or where I live in New Jersey either!) Narcissus have a very strong perfume.
LOVED the film. Have seen it numerous times. And had fallen in love with the kitchen and the location of the home.❤❤❤ Your video is quite unique - fantastic information. Shame the house wasn't real. Good job❤
Thank you! ❤️❤️ I was thinking whilst editing the video, I don't think I've quite seen production design like it since. Sad that everything is CGI now ☹️ Thanks for your comment as usual ! 😊😊
I confess, I didn't watched this movie. However this video, as usualm is very interesting if you want to pick nice ideas for your home style. I like how you always stress how much light can do to set the mood in a room. It is an element often very underestimated when in fact it should be the opposite. Very well done indeed.
My daughter, granddaughters and I watch Practical Magic whenever we get together. It’s now tradition. Besides this movie, in Fall I like to watch Chocolat, Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, and on October 23rd or 24th, Something Wicked This Way Comes.
It was perfect timing when I noticed your video - I was just sitting down to put the finishing touches on an Autumn themed cushion cover I just made. And now I want to watch Practical Magic 🕷️🍁🍂!
@@dantierandbalogh Hi, I used a fabric with a repeating pattern of a small pumpkin set in a sort of semi-Celtic lattice work design. The background colour is a brownish orange and the pumpkins are a butternut squash colour. I felt this was a pattern that would work for both Autumn and Halloween.
I always watch Practical Magic, Sleepy Hollow, Hocus Pocus, The little vampire (the one from 2000), The Mummy 1&2, Trick r Treat, Halloweentown, Casper, The Addams Family 1&2 and The Craft.
Yes Yes Yes! You are speaking my language🎃 Hocus Pocus is another I rewatch time and time again🕯️I actually quite liked the second, recent Hocus Pocus aswell✨ And of course HAUNTED MANSION!
@@dantierandbalogh I quite liked the second one to, but the first beats it for the nostalgia factor for me. I really should check out Haunted Mansion, since so many fellow spooky people like it. Love your videos.
Thank you Kathy! I love that people have traditions watching this film. It's sad that it was deemed a flop by critics , but what really matters is the people that clearly connected with the movie & found the magic 💜🔮✨
First of all, the spider running across the screen startled me! Second, I'm sad that the house isn't real. I would have loved to see it in person. Third, I LOVE your videos. I always learn something!
I did a Christmas video on that one! I know I was completely shocked when I learnt that too☹️ Although there are many cottages just like it in the UK! 🤗🤗
@@dantierandbalogh I wasn't expecting anyone to take interest! I have a character who would undoubtably style their house like this. Maybe I'll add drawings of the place to go with the story.
I have yet to see anyone point out that this house is meant to look like it was one that was updated & added to over 2 centuries as it passed from generation to generation. That’s why there are multiple styles inside & out.
San Francisco is not the only area in California that is famous for Victorian homes. Check out Ferndale, the Victorian village in Humboldt County. There are many Victorian homes throughout Eureka and Arcata in Humboldt County as well.
Thank you! I did kind of think that there must be more areas in California and even in the south for that matter. I love all of them- so different to the styles found here in the UK. Thank you for your comment , I'll check them out 🤗🤗
