Echoes of Laughter Sugar & Cloth Meg Ryan’s Spanish-Style House in “Hanging Up” The Delia Ephron movie Hanging Up, starring Meg Ryan, Diane Keaton, and Lisa Kudrow, premiered in 2000 to poor reviews, and it didn’t make much money at the box office. The sets, however, made a big impression. Ten years later, people are still talking about the house Meg Ryan’s character Eve lived in. One look at the front of the house and you can see why. The story revolves around Eve, who is stuck with the job of taking care of their ailing, alcoholic, “uproar-man” of a father (Walter Matthau in his final role). The Entry: The movie was based on Delia Ephron’s novel Hanging Up. Ryan spent most of the movie in a long coat that came down to her ankles and looked like a bathrobe. Family Room: This hallway leads into the master bedroom, which doesn’t have a door. Bedroom: The openness makes me wonder if this room is actually used for something else (not a bedroom) in the actual house, and they just staged it that way for the movie.

Home Furnishings, Home Decor, Outdoor Furniture & Modern Furniture Bits Of Everything: Wall Picture Collage I have been wanting to hang something on the wall in my kitchen ever since we moved in. Between Emily and I, we finally dreamed up this Wall Picture Collage after looking at lots of other people’s photo collages- and I love the way it turned out. Here are all the things that I bought. (all found at walmart) This entire project was under $20. *pictures you want to use (I had free prints from Costco) * 2 20×30 foam core boards (I got two black ones $2.88 each) *poster hanger thingies ($2.44) *foam brushes ($.97) *double sided tape ($3) *mod podge (I already had some) This shows you how thick the foam core board is.. First I drew out a plan.. Then I cut some computer paper first, and made sure it would work before I cut up my pictures. Then I went to work cutting my 4×6 pictures into 4 inch squares. I then laid them all out on the floor in the order that I wanted them, and then taped them down with double sided tape. Then I took it in the kitchen and painted mod podge all over it. and straight on.
