The 1930s started it all

They say, a widow had this house built that we now live in. She had the house built in the MGM glamor days when Americans flocked to the movies to leave their empty cupboards worries behind. For that very reason, I want to honor our Depression era home with something as magical as the movies. Is there anything really more magical? Teenagers of this decade get goosebumps watching the lighted gazebo where Bella and Edward dance in the movie Twilight. What I would do to have a gazebo like that, extending from our home, where we could entertain. Then, there are the classics, Gone With the Wind, what about that memorable carpeted staircase of Scarlet's and Rhett's? There were so many staircases in Gone with the Wind where things, remarkable things happened. At 12 Oaks, Scarlet first laid investigating eyes on Rhett looking down from a winding staircase.
I'm fascinated with movie sets. I love to look at what's going on behind the stars while their walking up the stairs, having a chocolate martini on the couch or visiting a chateau in steamy Paris. Some set designer worked very hard on these backgrounds enticing you into the movie itself.
My husband is a big set buff also. He is always reminding me that a suitcase we use on our vacations, actually was given to him from a Nickelodeon Studio set on a show he worked on, that kind of thing.
So, we came up with this idea, to decorate each neglected room in our 1930s home in some sort of set theme. And, it has to be cheap! Actually, this should be interesting to see just how and if, this all happens. With my schedule, it would be nothing short of a miracle to put into place. I cannot afford to spend as much money as married Rhett and Scarlet splurged on their home. Who can these days? Well, let's begin anyway, give it a good try. And, here's to you MGM and all those movie makers that made the 1930s and 2000s feel a little less imposing.
