I totally forgot to mention that while in Utah we visited the 'Up' house. These designers got permission to replicate the home and it's super cute. There were droves of people there but very much worth the wait.
The front room. They gave all the workers a little device that would play portions of the movie where a particular part of the home was depicted so the replica could be as accurate as possible.
I didn't get a picture but they even had an older man and chubby Asian kid sitting in front of the house to greet everyone.
Since there was more house then what was shown in the movie the builders took some creative license. In the basement they made a 'Toy Story' room and another one decked out in princess stuff. It was a totally cute house.
The builders did a great job and we LOVED another house they designed. Seriously, if we ever move to Utah (or have enough money to fly them wherever we live) I'd love to have this home: http://www.saltlakeparade.com/archives/2432 We loved the inclusive design and how cozy it felt. We spent quite a bit of time talking to one of the partners about the 'Up' house and the one that we actually want to live in, someday...
All they need is a sign saying "Cougars don't cut corners" on the grass. What a fun visit.
ReplyDeleteRush totally remembered going to that house with the Spurlocks! Your dream home looks cozy. I like it.
