I love the nostalgic colors and feel of this whimsical film and Audrey Tautou is so adorable as the quirky Amelie! 



I tried to aestheticize things, make them more beautiful than they are in reality. I’m not interested in making a realistic film.

Director- Jean-Pierre Jeunet


               


I have some similar likes to the characters in her world..cracking the crust on a crème brûlée with a teaspoon(my favorite!),noticing details no one else notices, the sound of the cat's bowl on the tiles, and ripping off large sections of wallpaper..I'm working on renovating our historic house that is filled with peeling old wallpaper. I can not begin to describe the satisfaction of pulling an entire panel off in one fell swoop!

lazy days

Luke and I had a much needed day off and the weather was unusually perfect(60!) so we spent the day outside. Having just moved into our first home it was the perfect day to take a walk and discover the neighborhood. Our house was built in the 1800's and is in the historic district in town. I love looking at all of the old homes and the cobblestone streets are so charming.

I've always dreamed of having a super old house, it's enormous and has the most perfect antique details. I'm working on converting an extra room into my studio,coming from a 1 bedroom rental this seems like a mansion!

I love all of the ivy and brambles around the neighborhood but I can't wait for spring, everything looks so much more alive.
