All that’s missing are the balloons. This isn’t the first time the Pixar movie has inspired a real-life dwelling: a Utah house modeled after the very same building was [sold for $400,000](http://newsfeed.time.com/2011/12/05/disney-digs-house-modeled-after-up-sells-for-400000/ "undefined") in 2011. After more than two years of renovation, Haggog and wife Fatima Rahman are dealing with the controversy sparked by their home makeover. That’s because the home in question is located on Santa Clara’s Harrison Street, known for its historic Victorian-style houses, also known as painted ladies, which were built during the Victorian era. Neighbor Lou Faria called the paint job “atrocious” and said the painted lady now looks like a “clown.” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/79757/santa-clara-house-painted-like-up-movie-angers-neighbors/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/79757/santa-clara-house-painted-like-up-movie-angers-neighbors/"},"headline":"WATCH: House Painted Like Victorian in Up Angers Neighbors","datePublished":"2014-04-28T20:11:26.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:09:11.872Z","description":"One family's pastel dream house looks \"atrocious\" to neighbor Lou Faria","url":"https://time.com/79757/santa-clara-house-painted-like-up-movie-angers-neighbors/","keywords":["Newsfeed","California","house","Bizarre","Pixar"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt77d97f654f69a811/69868ce1361760539290bba1/up.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Diane Tsai","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/diane-tsai/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt77d97f654f69a811/69868ce1361760539290bba1/up.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"up","caption":"","creditText":"Pixar/Disney","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/79757/santa-clara-house-painted-like-up-movie-angers-neighbors/","name":"WATCH: House Painted Like Victorian in Up Angers Neighbors"}}]}] ```
