The neighbors may not have been thrilled with what the home became but it looks like something really fun to see in person. This adorable home stands out on the Pacific Coast Highway in Santa Monica. The rumor is that this house was owned by Ruth Handler, the creator of Barbie. You can park in one of the beach parking lots and walk down to the home or park by one of the neighbors. PCH is a really busy road so it won’t always feel easy to stop for the photo.
How Miranda Lambert became country’s queen without ever kissing the ring
One of the most significant reasons why “The House That Built Me” has connected so deeply with fans is because of how many different interpretations people have for the song. For some, it’s a reminder of their childhood and how much they loved growing up in their home town. For others, it’s a bittersweet reflection of the experience of leaving their hometown to follow their dreams. “The House That Built Me” is a timeless anthem that honors the importance of home, family, and the memories that continue to influence our lives long after we leave those cherished walls behind.

Behind the Song Lyrics: “Rolling in the Deep,” Adele
It was a rollicking party back then like it was on Saturday. With a setlist that leaned heavily on the Minnesota band’s early albums, it was a welcome nostalgia trip. And 14 years after its release, set closer “Wait So Long” still absolutely shreds. Not only is the beautiful craftsman style Gamble house an amazing place to visit for architecture fans, but movie fans will appreciate it too. The garage was used as Doc Brown’s house in Back to the Future and the living room shown above was used in Zathura. I have visited the house for free on two different occasions.
In the 1920’s he bought land in Santa Monica and his 359 acres included some land that would later become part of Pacific Palisades. In the 1940s his wife, Betty left their 31 room ranch and the land to the California State Parks. Some of the houses are famous because of the architecture while others are famous for being used in movies and tv shows. There are so many different ways that we are spoiled in Southern California but the incredible variety of homes that we can visit is truly something special. Please note that not all of the homes on this list are open to the public but I will make sure to specify which ones are available for you to visit vs which ones you can drive by. Its ability to evoke powerful emotions and connect with people on a deep level is a testament to the talent of Miranda Lambert and the songwriters who gave us this treasure.
You leave home, you move on and you do the best you can.I got lost in this old world and forgot who I am. Co-writer Tom Douglas retells the popular myth with a storyteller’s edge.
Lambert’s reaction came from the connection she felt to the lyrics that Douglas and Shamblin had written. Growing up, Lambert and her family went through a difficult time when her parents’ private investigation company failed. Perhaps Lambert was distracted by the high desert winds that kept threatening to blow off her cowboy hat; perhaps she’s spent too much time in Las Vegas, where the undemanding enthusiasm of a residency audience can soften a performer’s game. Either way, this was a reminder — after Church’s polarizing Friday-night gospel experiment — that sticking to the hits isn’t always what you want.
About last night…thanks to @yielddesignco for inviting us into the sowden house and introducing us to your black dahlia cbd candle. That was epic and a long time dream of mine to see inside this historic lloyd wright house. The Hollyhock House was designed by Frank Llyod Wright for Aline Barnsdall though she quickly became disillusioned with the home and donated it to the city of LA.

"We were so convinced we had a classic, we'd get together for years and think, 'What is wrong with it? Why isn't it resonating?'" Douglas says. Eventually, they realized they were trying to put too much story in the original version. Including the crucial addition of the line, "If I could just come in, I swear I'll leave — I won't take nothing but a memory."
Growing up in a small Texas town, she felt a deep connection to the lyrics and hoped that others would find comfort in them too. According to the songwriters, the inspiration behind the song came from a conversation between Allen Shamblin and his wife. They were discussing the fact that they had to sell their house and how emotionally attached they had become to it. Shamblin suggested that Douglas write a song about the topic, and “The House That Built Me” was born. 16-tear-old Lorde wrote the lyrics to "Royals" at home in just half an hour. She was inspired by the "ridiculous, unrelatable, unattainable opulence" that runs through such albums as Kanye West and Jay-Z's Watch the Throne and Lana Del Rey's Born To Die.
His penultimate set on the main stage Saturday was, as billed, a performance of all country covers (with a billboard on the way out to the festival site offering an 800 number where he was supposedly taking requests). He didn’t necessarily make any breaking news with his time on stage, unless good taste in Alan Jackson covers is news. But his emphasis on the 1990s/2000s hits of his childhood and youth (plus Tyler Childers, for good modern measure) would have captivated the crowd even without Dwight Yoakam, Brad Paisley and Sara Evans showing up to seal the deal. Lambert recorded “The House That Built Me” nearly seven years after it was originally written by songwriters Allen Shamblin and Tom Douglas. “If somehow this song made people feel less alone in their aching and longing for home, I’m thankful,” Shamblin told Billboard in 2019. “It’s becoming the world’s song, and I’m grateful.” It has been said that the song landed in Lambert’s lap when a demo version was originally sent to her then-boyfriend Blake Shelton.
Free street parking is available on Corona Del Mar which is a five-minute walk from the house. He also designed one of my favorite places in LA, the Wayfarers Chapel. The Derby House was built for businessman James Derby, though due to a separation with his wife he would never live here.
Lambert’s dog was buried in by the house, (And I bet you didn’t know under that live oak / My favorite dog is buried in the yard) and her bedroom was upstairs (Up those stairs in that little back bedroom / Is where I did my homework and I learned to play guitar). Lambert headlined Stagecoach on Saturday night for the first time since 2015. Eric Church headlined Friday night, delivering a 75-minute medley of gospel songs, covers, and his own material that left some fans unhappy. “Drunk (and I Don’t Wanna Go Home)” was performed as a duet, albeit with Lambert’s backup singer, not Elle King, who had apparently moved on after playing the main stage Friday night. Posty’s opening song, Childers’ 2013 “Purgatory,” nearly counted as an oldie, albeit one that may not have been familiar to everyone in the crowd.
This home and park have such a wonderful variety of activities for visitors. You can tour the home (during non-covid times), go horseback riding, hiking, attend movie nights over the summer, and polo games. Will Rogers was a popular actor in the early days of Hollywood.
As soon as we demoed that (version), we turned it in, and it was a palpable reaction,” Douglas explained in an interview with The Tennessean. In addition to these verses, Douglas and Shamblin ensured that “The House That Built Me” rang with a sense of universality in chorus. “When you co-write a song, you each dig into your own heart for where you’re coming from,” Shamblin explained to The Boot about the experience. “The inspiration for me was the last ten years or so with having my own children.
