The Gorgeous Goldie Hawn is one of my favourite actresses and Houesitter is one of her best films. I hadn't seen this for ages, but revisited it last week.
What a treat. It also reminded me that I think the house in Houseitter was the first thing that sparked my interest in interiors. I really thought that this was the most amazing house I had ever seen! I was fascinated with its quirky layout and features.
The House is built in two parts separated by a wooden and glass corridor. For a house so big it is totally impractical with only one bedroom and no toilet apparently? But then who needs things like a toilet when you have a glass fridge, switchback stairs and a bath in your bedroom?
Goldie decorates the house with a little help from Steve Martin's mother in the film. I love the bizarre choices she makes, considering she is broke herself. Some highlights would be the huge candy stripped candle lamps, which can be seen in the kitchen picture below.
I love that the bed has coloured lights wrapped around the wrought iron frame.
The house is beautifully situated next to a picturesque pond. This sort of location would be a dream build site for me - maybe my next project!
His and hers (or his and his) sinks and a bath with a view in the bedroom - what could be better?
The massive ornamental birdcage is the icing on the cake. In conclusion; some of the decor may be a bit dated but this is one house I'd be happy to baby sit any time - hopefully with Goldie Hawn for company.
