![]() How is it that a home can tell you all this and make you love it and want that same home for yourself? It spoke to my heart and it spoke of family, comfort, security.–but most of all, love. I just knew it felt the way I thought a home should feel. Even though I had loved the house in Home Alone, if you had asked me to describe the interior, I don’t think I could have. I saw it, loved it, and never thought much about it again until many years later. The movie, Home Alone, came out just about the time I moved into my current home.

I remember loving my next-door neighbor’s home with the wide staircase that turned going down. I vaguely remember being in awe of a high, 4-poster bed I once saw while playing at a friend’s home and I remember loving an antique dresser in an Aunt’s home. When I got married, I knew absolutely nothing about decorating and had no past experiences from which to pull. I grew up in a home environment that was furnished very modestly and very non-decorated. ![]() Have you ever thought about the psychology that goes into making a movie…the little things that influence us without us even knowing it? Of course, there’s the brief product placement that flashes by, but I’m thinking more about the movie sets and how they are designed and decorated to make us think or feel a particular way while watching the movie.
