an old favorite

A Little Princess (1995 version not the shirley temple)

This was probably my favorite movie growing up, and where I fell in love with India as well.

I went back and watched it recently but with a inspirational eye instead of just for "feel-good-movie" time.

I love the colors used for this 30's-40's New York boarding school.

Emerald green and some brass accents.

Or the opposite side of the world- India where she grew up

Exciting patterns in jewel tones that make you want to escape there.

I understand using color in decorating often time dates your rooms, but for this movie it is perfect!

When we do decide to have children down the road,

our little girl's room will probably look like the picture above.

Enjoy.

surprisingly good

I love watching movies based on historical figures.

However movies such as: Elizabeth, The Duchess, and Marie Antoinette
 end with a beheading or the heroine having to choose duty over love.

This movie, although there is some conflict, is one of the greates love stories I have seen in a while.

Maybe one of the reasons I love it so much is it reminds me a little of Alan and I with the letters written, giggling over a chess game, and they way they want to go through
 life together without one person trying to control the other one.

It is beautiful ,suprisingly innocent, and a great story line.
