Practical Magic 2 is set to begin production I think this year so it won’t be out until this time 2025! The sequel is based on Alice Hoffman's 2021 novel The Book of Magic, the fourth installment in her Practical Magic series. That’s what I found on google and both Sally and Gillian will be there with Nicole and Sandra reprising their roles as the Owen sisters. So yeah I’m excited too I hope they’re able to pull off that same magic they had back in the 90’s however times have changed since then so the sequel will definitely be interesting!
Thank you so much!! 🍁🧡☕I find UK Victorian so much more demure and I guess slightly boring (although I guess I'm just used to seeing them). American Victorian is so unbelievably beautiful to me, with all of the woodwork, colours and elaborate designs 🤩
I have yet to see anyone point out that this house is meant to look like it was one that was updated & added to over 2 centuries as it passed from generation to generation. That’s why there are multiple styles inside & out.
I love Practical Magic! I just watched it (again) last week. And, yes, I want plants growing everywhere, a large, homey kitchen, and a beautiful garden by the sea. Alas, I live in a land-locked '70s ranch-style home. However, I painted my living room walls green, left the brick fireplace natural, and have hung fairy lights along the ceiling beams. I have silk ivy climbing through books and clocks on my shelves. I'm slowly making my way through the house to make it all feel as magical as possible.
This made me realize exactly how much that movie backdrop inspired me and continues to now. I don’t live near the sea but I have set out to make my garden as magical as I can on a budget. One of the influences would be the beautiful garden beds and seating areas. I have been working on that for a few years. Planting not only food but medicinal herbs with which to make salves, tinctures, teas etc. I have two large jars of botanicals steeping over low heat right now in olive oil in order to make a comfrey healing salve for someone’s hurt shoulder. And having a beautiful greenhouse became a dream for “someday” when we could get to building one ourselves. That someday finally arrived now that we have the time. Husband brought home the biggest heaviest plate glass window for the front the other day that I have ever seen locally. It has the beautiful grid trim across the front and it took four men to unload it. I’m so excited! Finally after all these years. I’m going to make it every bit as beautiful as the one in that movie, but we’ll be custom building it ourselves. We have extensive renovation experience so it won’t turn out badly. Anyway as I sort of followed the direction of making the garden something special, we get a lot of people who slow down and go by here looking at everything. Some even turn around and drive back by. We’re on the corner of a cross section of two streets and every once in awhile I see someone stop on that corner across from our house with a straight view of it-and they just sit there for awhile looking if no cars are behind them. It makes me feel proud that they like it enough to do that. If I can do this on a budget, I think a lot of people could. It takes resourcefulness and hard work but it’s doable. An example would be my pond and waterfalls area. I decided I wanted a little pond to catch an overhead rain curtain waterfall feature that rains down from above into the pond, so I got on Facebook marketplace and found pond liners and equipment for $45 usd. They were secondhand but worked just fine. I dug it mostly myself while my husband was at work and hauled more dirt to create a hill for the waterfalls in a wheelbarrow. He helped me install the components and built an overhead archway out of 4x4 timbers that I then stained a natural color. He ran copper pipe up the side and over the top of the pond on the underside of the archway and mounted it with holders. Then drilled small holes in a line on the underside of the pipe and installed a shut off valve on the pipe bottom part from which to turn it on or off or change the speed at which the water rains down from above. It’s very very beautiful now and people freak out over it now that it’s all planted with a weeping cherry tree, bushes, weeping blue spruce tree, asiatic lilies, rose bushes, hostas, tall banana trees in the very back, fountain grasses, hardy hibiscus bush, and various low growing perennial flowers. The front of the pond is planted with low ground cover wooly thyme to keep the grass out and back away from the stepping stones in front. All of that beauty from a $45 set of second hand pond liners and a lot of hard work. People wouldn’t even need to pay for plants if they couldn’t because so many people put up free “you dig” plants and bushes from their yards on marketplace. If you go dig them up they just give them to you. Same for pavers or landscaping blocks.
Woah Macy... It's sound like you've created your own magical oasis✨🌴 Congrats on the greenhouse!! And of course the beautiful sounding garden🌺 I can only dream😆 I don't know if you've seen our home vlogs, but we have a largeish tiered garden that is pretty much all bare with only lawn & 3 roses. We have a long way to go until we reach a point like yours! 😅😅 Thanks for sharing 🙏💜
I always watch Practical Magic, Sleepy Hollow, Hocus Pocus, The little vampire (the one from 2000), The Mummy 1&2, Trick r Treat, Halloweentown, Casper, The Addams Family 1&2 and The Craft.
Yes Yes Yes! You are speaking my language🎃 Hocus Pocus is another I rewatch time and time again🕯️I actually quite liked the second, recent Hocus Pocus aswell✨ And of course HAUNTED MANSION!
@@dantierandbalogh I quite liked the second one to, but the first beats it for the nostalgia factor for me. I really should check out Haunted Mansion, since so many fellow spooky people like it. Love your videos.
My favorite witchy home has to be the Charmed sisters home! I wanted my home to be just like theirs! I’m still in love with their home even though it too isn’t a real home!
@@fionaokeefe1906 it is an actual house, but most of it was filmed on a set. If you search for charmed house tour there are several videos showing both the inside and outside.
I have watched this movie every year since I saw the movie. I love not just the decor but the clothes and hair. All still in style. Thank you soooo much for the video ❤️
The white pom Pom flower in the conservatory is a Narcissus, also called paperwhites in America. The bulbs are readily available at garden centers in autumn and easy to force inside in a glass with pebbles and some water. If you start them in about 2-3 weeks, you’ll have blooms indoors for Christmas.
@@dantierandbalogh yes. It’s a daffodil that isn’t cold hardy unless you’re in a very warm place like Florida. It’s like an amaryllis. You force the bulb inside in pretty vessel in pebbles and water for the holidays but it won’t overwinter outside in Scotland (or where I live in New Jersey either!) Narcissus have a very strong perfume.
San Francisco is not the only area in California that is famous for Victorian homes. Check out Ferndale, the Victorian village in Humboldt County. There are many Victorian homes throughout Eureka and Arcata in Humboldt County as well.
Thank you! I did kind of think that there must be more areas in California and even in the south for that matter. I love all of them- so different to the styles found here in the UK. Thank you for your comment , I'll check them out 🤗🤗
Yes! The Carson Mansion is very close to Ferndale, as is the Red and Purple house she showed on screen(located in a town called Arcata for those curious about looking it up, and featured in the film The Love Witch). Most famous in Ferndale might be the gingerbread mansion. But the whole town is full of cool old homes. I lived in Ferndale for a few years as a child, and I've always dreamed of going back and living in one of those magical homes!
So glad I came across your channel. I truly enjoyed this excellent video. Thank you for showcasing one of my favorite movies. When Practice Magic came out I saw an extensive “making of” documentary with Griffin Dunne who directed the movie. I also believe he was an executive producer. They had a difficult time finding a house - which they never did. Then when it became obvious that it would need to be built, they couldn’t build any permanent structures on the land. It was something to do with laws and I believe tribal lands. The house was built as a movie set. When the production was finished, the house was torn down and the land was restored to its original condition. Sorry to burst anyone’s bubble about the house. I wholeheartedly agree it was spectacular.
Don't kill me. I've never seen this movie. After watching your video, I'm ordering it now. I ADORE Victorian architecture. Your video Was fascinating, as they all are. Thank you. Have a lovely evening. Blessings - Judith 🎭🎤
I am Aunt Jet but in my younger years I would have been Gillian…love the movie watch it several times a year. Can’t believe the negative reviews it received. I loved it from the beginning ❤️🧚♂️✨
Everything about this movie, from the storylines of everyone, especially Jilly's makeup n nails(slinking in the hallway meeting Jimmy), Sally's cardigans n skirts (in botanical prints!!whaaat😁) the house during the day n night(lunch scene when the girls stay home to learn spells)the charming farmers market n town😊classic fall movie🍁🍂watching since 98'❤
The reason they probably didn’t stick with complete. Victorian decor on the inside is because the majority of Americans are obsessed with redoing things, and they probably assumed that somebody would’ve redone the house during the craftsman era and Sally would’ve had her room redone for the time it was filmed. Wonderful job going over one of my favorite movies ❤
That's so true Heather! I did laugh out loud when I watched the movie and Sally's room was literally the most 90s interior I'd ever seen 😄 Thanks for your lovely comment 😊✨💜🔮
My daughter, granddaughters and I watch Practical Magic whenever we get together. It’s now tradition. Besides this movie, in Fall I like to watch Chocolat, Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, and on October 23rd or 24th, Something Wicked This Way Comes.
I have been meaning to see Something Wicked this way comes but I haven't found a streaming service that has that film. Do you know where it's streaming right now?
It was perfect timing when I noticed your video - I was just sitting down to put the finishing touches on an Autumn themed cushion cover I just made. And now I want to watch Practical Magic 🕷️🍁🍂!
@@dantierandbalogh Hi, I used a fabric with a repeating pattern of a small pumpkin set in a sort of semi-Celtic lattice work design. The background colour is a brownish orange and the pumpkins are a butternut squash colour. I felt this was a pattern that would work for both Autumn and Halloween.
I love this video so much!!! I love whimsigoth but I love how this is much lighter and earthy like you mention its feels more fitting for myself! Would love to see a Charmed tv show video like this too!
Love this video! As a matter of fact, to decorate for this time of year, I have my Practical Magic book set displayed along with some colored apothecary bottles. Thank you so much for this very thorough tour of the home.
LOVED the film. Have seen it numerous times. And had fallen in love with the kitchen and the location of the home.❤❤❤ Your video is quite unique - fantastic information. Shame the house wasn't real. Good job❤
Thank you! ❤️❤️ I was thinking whilst editing the video, I don't think I've quite seen production design like it since. Sad that everything is CGI now ☹️ Thanks for your comment as usual ! 😊😊
There's a house in Hudson , N.Y. that was designed and lived in by the artist Fredric Church that you might be interested in looking at. Church was a major force in the Hudson river school of painting. He ewas probabably best known for his work: the Heart of the Andes. I think you'll enjoy looking at his home known as "Olana".
I live in Eureka, CA! Those homes are down in Old Town Eureka and they are called The Ingomar Club and The Pink Lady. There are underground tunnels that go back and forth between. I used to live up the road in an Italianate style Victorian.
Hello! New subscriber here when your video popped up on my YT feed. I saw "Practical Magic" when it was released 1998. I loved it! I read the book after that and frankly, the film is way better. My favorite characters were the aunts, Francis and Jet (Stockard and Dianne are gems). I live in Washington and have been to Coupeville (the town that was used in the film) many times. It's a lovely town. I've also been to Friday Harbor a couple of times where the house was built just out of town. It's a fun ferry ride. I grew up in Seattle where there are several Victorian and Craftsman homes on both Queen Anne Hill (where I grew up, but not in one of those homes, darn it!) and Capitol Hill. Then there is Pt. Townsend, the epicenter of Victorian homes. I watch a lot of British shows and follow some British channels on YT. I understand that stand alone homes in the UK are more in the suburbs and that terrace houses are more popular in the larger cities. From what I've seen, it's like what we would call a duplex here in the US. I know that it's a design that's been around for long, long time. Homeworthy channel has featured several designs who live in terrace houses. They appear not to waste and inch of space and cozy.
Certainly, in the UK, terrace houses in the city & flats aka apartments. But also lots of terraced homes in the suburbs too- it's a mixture really. Of course most houses in the UK are historic (which of course means they're smaller than US homes by far😆) but it's a mixture all over the UK tbh. You live in Washington? Jealous!!!! Thanks for your lovely comment & welcome to the channel 🤗🤗 You'll have to let me know why the movie is better than the book😅 I was going to read the book but now....🤷♀️😆
@@dantierandbalogh Thank you for replying! I'm envious of you being surrounded by so many historical buildings and all of the history that England/the UK has. It's been years since I've read the book. I remember it being more on the surreal side. I didn't care for Ms. Hoffman's writing style. You may like it. I just found that the movie flowed better. The store used in the movie that was supposed to be Sally's shop was an antique store at one time. They had three of the prop lotion bottles sitting in the front window. That was a fun thing to see. It was a big thing to film there because Coupeville is pretty small and very charming.
I've always found that books are better than movies. Practical Magic was the only exception - the movie was much better than the book. The second books she wrote (I believe after the movie had come out) was The Rules of Magic, it's the story about the aunts and, in my humble opinion, much better than the first book.
@@PamelaSmalbein Thank you. I'll look for that one. I can't remember the aunts that well in the book, but putting two of my favorite actresses together, Stockard Channing and Diane Wiest together, they stole every scene when they were on screen. Stockard Channing's line to Sandra Bullock, "Do you have any friends?" and the way she asked, priceless!
Absolutely love this film and very glad to see you releasing a video on its style ! I'm wondering whether you could also do one on the Locke and Key house ❤ ( which also doesn't exist )
I just finished the movie for the 100th time last weekend!!! My most favorite of all time movie. Nicole and Sandra have never been more beautiful than in this movie. I can not believe it was kind of a flop in the theatres.
This is so very well done. We live in Northwest Philadelphia which includes the Germantown area. A rich area in the 18th and 19th centuries it has many large Victorian homes. Just wonderful to walk around, especially during spooky season. Thank you for this in road to one of my favorite movies!!
I live in a house built in 1847. The new part of the house was added on to accommodate interior plumbing in 1897. While the huge windows and natural lighting are important to a Victorian house, the light fixture in the kitchen ( basement kitchen, note the high windows) is iconic. My fixture is almost identical except for the flowers painted on mine and mine was retrofitted long before I bought the house to accommodate electricity. While you say that the faux plaster was a thing of the 1990s, it was also sometimes a means of smoothing out the original lathe and plaster walls, ie real plaster. Old homes evolve in decorating styles. The eclectic nature of the Owens home shows generational connection to the home.
I never watched the movie, but I do love the style! Queen Anne architecture is what I love. I was visiting my mom in Colorado Springs last week and fell in love all over again with all of the homes close to the college. I guess I've always been a cottage core person. Nice to know the elements of the design to know what I love and why. Thanks for posting this video!
Thank you Jazdia! 💜✨ I agree, I find Queen Anne architecture so interesting. Our version of Victorian architecture in the UK is ALOT more dialled down😅 I love things like the Carson mansion and practical magic house 🏠 It's on my bucket list to visit all of these kinds of homes!
Practical Magic is honestly one of my favorite rereads for this time of year (and I did NOT know there were three more books! Thank you so much for mentioning that!), along with a lot of Joanne Harris' books, in particular her Chocolat series (which. The book is very different from the movie lol). It's been a while since I watched it, but clearly I'm due for a rewatch. If they do manage to make a sequel to the movie, I'm here for it - I don't think I'll ever get tired of visiting that mental space where the Owens women reside :) Thank you so much for posting this!
I confess, I didn't watched this movie. However this video, as usualm is very interesting if you want to pick nice ideas for your home style. I like how you always stress how much light can do to set the mood in a room. It is an element often very underestimated when in fact it should be the opposite. Very well done indeed.
Thank you Kathy! I love that people have traditions watching this film. It's sad that it was deemed a flop by critics , but what really matters is the people that clearly connected with the movie & found the magic 💜🔮✨
@@dantierandbalogh I wasn't expecting anyone to take interest! I have a character who would undoubtably style their house like this. Maybe I'll add drawings of the place to go with the story.
I have just found your channel, and i LOVE it. Full bine here. I live in Norway and the scandi style is no myth. So, as have lived in England years ago, Im so nostalgic about these cottages. The dream is to retire to one, and wonder around in your nature without worrying about bears and wolves😀 You are such an inspiration for my cottage dreams. Thank you :)
First of all, the spider running across the screen startled me! Second, I'm sad that the house isn't real. I would have loved to see it in person. Third, I LOVE your videos. I always learn something!
I did a Christmas video on that one! I know I was completely shocked when I learnt that too☹️ Although there are many cottages just like it in the UK! 🤗🤗
I just finished magic lessons, and the rule of magic. I did not read them in order of print rather in order of timeline. I’m currently reading practice magic
We hope you enjoy this Spooky edition🔮 After all, there's a little witch in all of us ✨

Practical Magic 2 is set to begin production I think this year so it won’t be out until this time 2025!
The sequel is based on Alice Hoffman's 2021 novel The Book of Magic, the fourth installment in her Practical Magic series. That’s what I found on google and both Sally and Gillian will be there with Nicole and Sandra reprising their roles as the Owen sisters. So yeah I’m excited too I hope they’re able to pull off that same magic they had back in the 90’s however times have changed since then so the sequel will definitely be interesting!
I had no idea English and American Victorian houses were so different! Your videos are not just delightful and creative, they're also educational 😊
Thank you so much!! 🍁🧡☕I find UK Victorian so much more demure and I guess slightly boring (although I guess I'm just used to seeing them). American Victorian is so unbelievably beautiful to me, with all of the woodwork, colours and elaborate designs 🤩
Practical Magic is one of my favourite movies of all time. I have watched it so many times I know every word of the script.
Omg! 😆 I love that Cindy! 😄🔮✨💜
Cindy, they just announced a Practical Magic Part II with Sandra and Nicole coming back!
@@valkyriesshield Wow that would be absolutely amazing. I hope they do it.
Antiques and homey cupboards. My favorite room was the apothecary (greenhouse).
I completely love the moonlit glow and all the white flowers 🌸✨🌸. So ethereal to me

It was perfect timing when I noticed your video - I was just sitting down to put the finishing touches on an Autumn themed cushion cover I just made. And now I want to watch Practical Magic 🕷️🍁🍂!
Oh wow! Id love to know what pattern / style you decided for the cushion! Thanks for your comment 🤗💜✨
@@dantierandbalogh Hi, I used a fabric with a repeating pattern of a small pumpkin set in a sort of semi-Celtic lattice work design. The background colour is a brownish orange and the pumpkins are a butternut squash colour. I felt this was a pattern that would work for both Autumn and Halloween.
I learned so much about the movie house and different design styles. Love the book and movie recommendations.
Thank you Lilia! 🙏🙏💗💗
Hello from Cleveland, Ohio, USA! Great video & content. I must say, you look like a beautiful Renaissance painting.
I love this video so much!!! I love whimsigoth but I love how this is much lighter and earthy like you mention its feels more fitting for myself! Would love to see a Charmed tv show video like this too!
Thank you for this video! Going down the rabbit hole
Love this video! As a matter of fact, to decorate for this time of year, I have my Practical Magic book set displayed along with some colored apothecary bottles. Thank you so much for this very thorough tour of the home.
Thanks for your lovely comment! 🤗💜✨
LOVED the film. Have seen it numerous times. And had fallen in love with the kitchen and the location of the home.❤❤❤ Your video is quite unique - fantastic information. Shame the house wasn't real. Good job❤
Thank you! ❤️❤️ I was thinking whilst editing the video, I don't think I've quite seen production design like it since. Sad that everything is CGI now ☹️ Thanks for your comment as usual ! 😊😊
There's a house in Hudson , N.Y. that was designed and lived in by the artist Fredric Church that you might be interested in looking at. Church was a major force in the Hudson river school of painting. He ewas probabably best known for his work: the Heart of the Andes. I think you'll enjoy looking at his home known as "Olana".
This is such a fun video! I love Practical Magic.
Thank you! ✨✨✨ isn't it just the most mystical magical movie?
I live in Eureka, CA! Those homes are down in Old Town Eureka and they are called The Ingomar Club and The Pink Lady. There are underground tunnels that go back and forth between. I used to live up the road in an Italianate style Victorian.
Hello! New subscriber here when your video popped up on my YT feed. I saw "Practical Magic" when it was released 1998. I loved it! I read the book after that and frankly, the film is way better. My favorite characters were the aunts, Francis and Jet (Stockard and Dianne are gems). I live in Washington and have been to Coupeville (the town that was used in the film) many times. It's a lovely town. I've also been to Friday Harbor a couple of times where the house was built just out of town. It's a fun ferry ride. I grew up in Seattle where there are several Victorian and Craftsman homes on both Queen Anne Hill (where I grew up, but not in one of those homes, darn it!) and Capitol Hill. Then there is Pt. Townsend, the epicenter of Victorian homes. I watch a lot of British shows and follow some British channels on YT. I understand that stand alone homes in the UK are more in the suburbs and that terrace houses are more popular in the larger cities. From what I've seen, it's like what we would call a duplex here in the US. I know that it's a design that's been around for long, long time. Homeworthy channel has featured several designs who live in terrace houses. They appear not to waste and inch of space and cozy.
Certainly, in the UK, terrace houses in the city & flats aka apartments. But also lots of terraced homes in the suburbs too- it's a mixture really. Of course most houses in the UK are historic (which of course means they're smaller than US homes by far😆) but it's a mixture all over the UK tbh.
You live in Washington? Jealous!!!! Thanks for your lovely comment & welcome to the channel 🤗🤗 You'll have to let me know why the movie is better than the book😅 I was going to read the book but now....🤷♀️😆
@@dantierandbalogh Thank you for replying! I'm envious of you being surrounded by so many historical buildings and all of the history that England/the UK has. It's been years since I've read the book. I remember it being more on the surreal side. I didn't care for Ms. Hoffman's writing style. You may like it. I just found that the movie flowed better. The store used in the movie that was supposed to be Sally's shop was an antique store at one time. They had three of the prop lotion bottles sitting in the front window. That was a fun thing to see. It was a big thing to film there because Coupeville is pretty small and very charming.
I've always found that books are better than movies. Practical Magic was the only exception - the movie was much better than the book. The second books she wrote (I believe after the movie had come out) was The Rules of Magic, it's the story about the aunts and, in my humble opinion, much better than the first book.
@@PamelaSmalbein Thank you. I'll look for that one. I can't remember the aunts that well in the book, but putting two of my favorite actresses together, Stockard Channing and Diane Wiest together, they stole every scene when they were on screen. Stockard Channing's line to Sandra Bullock, "Do you have any friends?" and the way she asked, priceless!
Absolutely love this film and very glad to see you releasing a video on its style ! I'm wondering whether you could also do one on the Locke and Key house ❤ ( which also doesn't exist )
Thank you & thanks for the suggestion! 🤗💜🔮🔮✨
Thank you!!! 🎉 Have a Midnight Margarita! 🍸
You know it! 😉 🍋🥥🍋🥥🍋🥥🍋
Magical research! Thanks!
I just finished the movie for the 100th time last weekend!!! My most favorite of all time movie. Nicole and Sandra have never been more beautiful than in this movie. I can not believe it was kind of a flop in the theatres.
mystic pizza, my new favourite Faii movie, thanks!
This is so very well done. We live in Northwest Philadelphia which includes
the Germantown area. A rich area in the 18th and 19th centuries it has
many large Victorian homes. Just wonderful to walk around, especially
during spooky season. Thank you for this in road to one of my favorite
movies!!
Thanks for your lovely comment Lawrie! 🙏🙏 I didn't know Philadelphia had homes like this, so thank you🤗 have a lovely spooky season!
THANKS for this fabulously inspiring video! ❤ Also love Mystic Pizza, it's a wonderful film.
Thank you Ashley! 🤗🤗💜💜
I live in a house built in 1847. The new part of the house was added on to accommodate interior plumbing in 1897. While the huge windows and natural lighting are important to a Victorian house, the light fixture in the kitchen ( basement kitchen, note the high windows) is iconic. My fixture is almost identical except for the flowers painted on mine and mine was retrofitted long before I bought the house to accommodate electricity. While you say that the faux plaster was a thing of the 1990s, it was also sometimes a means of smoothing out the original lathe and plaster walls, ie real plaster. Old homes evolve in decorating styles. The eclectic nature of the Owens home shows generational connection to the home.
This is the very first video of yours that I've seen. You just earned yourself a new subscriber 👏 👏 👏 👏
I never watched the movie, but I do love the style! Queen Anne architecture is what I love. I was visiting my mom in Colorado Springs last week and fell in love all over again with all of the homes close to the college. I guess I've always been a cottage core person. Nice to know the elements of the design to know what I love and why. Thanks for posting this video!
Thank you Jazdia! 💜✨ I agree, I find Queen Anne architecture so interesting. Our version of Victorian architecture in the UK is ALOT more dialled down😅 I love things like the Carson mansion and practical magic house 🏠 It's on my bucket list to visit all of these kinds of homes!
Brilliant video!
It was a beautiful home
Absolutely! 🤗✨✨✨
I'm a Mystical 🎉Pizza fan😮 I loved seeing Victoriana.😅
I would love if you would do a video like this for "storybook" style houses.
Loved this video! Thank you so much!
Thank you for your comment Cindy! ✨💜🔮
This was so lovely, thank you!
Ohh thank you!! 💜✨🔮
Practical Magic is honestly one of my favorite rereads for this time of year (and I did NOT know there were three more books! Thank you so much for mentioning that!), along with a lot of Joanne Harris' books, in particular her Chocolat series (which. The book is very different from the movie lol). It's been a while since I watched it, but clearly I'm due for a rewatch. If they do manage to make a sequel to the movie, I'm here for it - I don't think I'll ever get tired of visiting that mental space where the Owens women reside :) Thank you so much for posting this!
Thanks for your comment! 🤗 I deffo need to read the books 😆📖📖
Lovely analysis of this magical home! ✨️
Thank you so much Erica! 💜✨✨✨
I confess, I didn't watched this movie. However this video, as usualm is very interesting if you want to pick nice ideas for your home style. I like how you always stress how much light can do to set the mood in a room. It is an element often very underestimated when in fact it should be the opposite. Very well done indeed.
Thats so true! 💡🕯️I think candles can also have a profound impact🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️thanks for your comment 🤗🤗
@@dantierandbalogh I agree. If there is something that I like are candles and candlesitcks as mean to add decorative elements in your house.
Recently found your site really interesting . Love this film we have a tradition of watching it so this was just great to see! Thank you
Thank you Kathy! I love that people have traditions watching this film. It's sad that it was deemed a flop by critics , but what really matters is the people that clearly connected with the movie & found the magic 💜🔮✨
I love Practical Magic and this was a beautifully created video. Auralee Wallace books are great!
Thank you Francine! 💜💜 Am I correct in saying they're cozy mystery books? If so, I'm sooooo on board. I love cozies 😊📖📖
@@dantierandbalogh Yes cozy mystery witchy vibe and In The Company of Witches is the first book (really good!).
Wonderful Video,
Loved Watching!
✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️
Thank you Cathy! 💜💜💜
Very nice, very subtle witchy design. I might have to reference this for some books I'm writing.
Ooooh you'll have to share the books once you're done! 💜💜
@@dantierandbalogh I wasn't expecting anyone to take interest! I have a character who would undoubtably style their house like this. Maybe I'll add drawings of the place to go with the story.
I have just found your channel, and i LOVE it. Full bine here. I live in Norway and the scandi style is no myth. So, as have lived in England years ago, Im so nostalgic about these cottages. The dream is to retire to one, and wonder around in your nature without worrying about bears and wolves😀 You are such an inspiration for my cottage dreams. Thank you :)
Thank you so much Anne & welcome to the channel! 💜💜💜
First of all, the spider running across the screen startled me! Second, I'm sad that the house isn't real. I would have loved to see it in person. Third, I LOVE your videos. I always learn something!
I was devastated to learn Kate Winslet’s cottage in The Holiday wasn’t real!
I did a Christmas video on that one! I know I was completely shocked when I learnt that too☹️ Although there are many cottages just like it in the UK! 🤗🤗
🤣🤣🤣 it looked so realistic even when I was editing it 🤣🕷️ Thank you for your lovely comment as usual 💜💜
Somewhere there's a dollhouse creator looking at this movie list and drafting plans!
Love this movie!! Would love to learn more about the love witch movie house too
Thank you for that suggestion!! I adore the makeup looks in that movie 💜💜
Love your accent. ♥️
Awww, thank you Ali🤗💜
Can you do Sarah's house from 'The Craft'? I know ird not in the movie much, but Ice been trying to get my house to look like hers for over 20 years!😱
I just finished magic lessons, and the rule of magic. I did not read them in order of print rather in order of timeline. I’m currently reading practice magic
ugh i love mystic pizza but its not available for streaming for free anywhere so i think i have to go old school buy the dvd version lol
Have you spoken about the house from Hereditary?
❤❤❤
Can you pls recommend those books
Hiya! I'm abit confused? I recommend the books at 21:00 🤗🤗
You are mixing my favorite themes! Architecture and Witchery! I could smooch you through the internet! New follower! 🩷🩷🩷💫💫
