"Stand the house on its head" makes perfect sense to me! OK, it's a mixed metaphor, but then no one really expects you to literally "turn the house upside down" (the equivalent English phrase) either.
I don't write enough (I type mostly) to justify getting a good pen. I actually preferred the Pilot fibre-tip calligraphy pens (not the really broad tip, the 1mm one) which had the same effect, I wrote slower and more legibly because I liked the shape of the letters.
