I’d love to live in the New York apartment described in ‘Auntie Mame’ – it’s one of my favourite books and I aspire to be like her. If I lived there, I would paint over the more sinister panels, but the dormitory from the film would make a glorious open-plan house, in the middle of Swedish woodland! Kate Cox, interior designer at HÁM InteriorsĪuntie Mame, dir. The murals can actually be seen as a cartoon version of the film script.

And come Christmas time, everyone wants to spend a few days holed up in Kate Winslet’s matchbox-sized cottage from The Holiday.

Modern log home plans are designed in a variety of styles using wood logs as the primary building component. What comes to mind when you imagine a log home plan?
