Glee's beau-hunky blond Chord Overstreet—a former teen model and 2013 Teen Choice Award winner—dumped $1,310,000 million on a glassy and newly renovated, single-story contemporary above Lake Hollywood. (Yes, bunnies, there is an actual lake/reservoir in Hollywood). Listing details show the house has three bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, an open-concept Euro-style kitchen, and house-dotted canyon views. (Trulia Luxe Living)
Reality television star and enterprising boutique owner Kourtney Kardashian and her weirdly flashy baby daddy/man-friend Scott Disick reportedly purchased retired professional footballer Keyshawn Johnson's nearly 12,000 square foot macmansion in the very same gated Calabasas, CA, enclave where one of their new neighbors will be hellion pop star/wannabe thug Justin Bieber. The sprawling, Richard Landry-designed mansion—described in listing materials as a "Contemporary Mediterranean"—has six bedrooms and 7.5 bathrooms. The sale price has yet to be recorded (or leaked) but any of the children would like more details on Kourt's new krib, Your Mama (dissed and) discussed the manse more than a year ago when it was listed for $10.5 million. (E! Online)
In other Kardashian family real estate news, word on the celebrity real estate street is that divorcing sister Khloe sold her and estranged husband Lamar Odom's mock-Med in Tarzana, CA, to well-paid sitcom star Kaley Cuoco (Big Bang Theory) and her professional tennis player hubby, Ryan Sweeting. The house was listed for just under $4 million and sold for just under $5.5 million. (No, babies, that is not a type, Miz Cuoco paid about $1.5 million over asking.) So the scuttlebutt goes Khloe K. either scooped up or would like to acquire a similarly sized macmansion near her momager's big ol' house in the guard-gated, celeb-attracting, and horse-oriented Hidden Hills community. (TMZ)
Since Your Mama dropped in to New York City for a brief (and somewhat unexpected) visit, we'll wind up with a few Big Apple-centric real estate ditties.
Woody Allen and Mia Farrow's puffy lipped and wicked smart son Ronan Farrow—who Miz Farrow recently and tantalizingly suggested might actually be the illegitimate son of blue-eyed crooner Frank Sinatra—spent $1.495 million for a luxurious but fairly ordinary 982-square foot two bedroom and two bathroom apartment in a fancy new condo building new Lincoln Square on the Upper West Side. (New York Post)
For months now the half-dozen not yet completed penthouse pads atop the legendary Puck Building in SoHo,which were developed by Ivanka Trump's young, savvy, and baby-faced husband, Jared Kushner, have been shrouded in secrecy. While there has been much hullabaloo and tongue wagging by property gossips none of the roomy residences, reportedly priced between twenty and sixty million bucks, were not, until now, listed on the open market. (Curbed)
The Puck penthouses have been toured privately by a handful of rich and/or otherwise high-profile people including Leo DiCaprio, who went on to drop ten or more million clams for a "green" place in Greenwich Village, and middle-aged rock star Jon Bon Jovi, who, bless his real estate heart, has yet to unload his super-sized duplex penthouse in Soho despite reducing the asking price from $42 million to $39.9.*
The saga continues for Russian multi-billionaire Roman Abramovich's so-far stymied effort to acquire all five of the lavish cooperative apartments at the massive Berwind Mansion on Fifth Avenue and re-combine them into the robber baron-worthy mansion that it was originally built to be. We're sure everyone but the richest of the rich is plays their finger violins for the inveterate real estate baller's plight, right?
And finally, Michael Gross, the always entertaining chronicler of the real estate affairs of the super rich, penned a piece for a recent issue of Departures magazine about how the sale price for New York's most expensive apartments inches ever and inevitably closer to the magic and monumental nine figure mark. (Departures)
*Mister Bon Jovi's penthouse was taken off the open market in early December (2013) but property records do not indicate it's been sold.

O 'Style Advice' vai andar por aqui às Segundas e hoje lembrei-me de falar da entrada das nossas casas. Tenho uma blogamiga que me pediu ideias para esta parte tão importante da casa, e que é usualmente remetida para o fim da lista das prioridades. E eu pergunto: mas porquê se é o mais fácil de decorar e com menos budget!? (digo eu! que isto p'ra mim é tudo fácil, não é?!... :)))))
Aqui vão as minhas sugestões e quero saber as vossas opiniões claro! A boa notícia é que vou sortear 2 rolos de papel de parede para o Hall de entrada, de entre quem fizer comentários.
Atenção que este passatempo, apenas é válido para os seguidores registados no blogue. E só serão válidos os que estiverem identificados com nome e não anónimos. Basta comentar para ganhar! E esta hein?

Para além da consola e do espelho, e se tiver espaço adicione uma banqueta ou cadeiras que também se tornam muito úteis para largar a mala ou receber alguém na entrada de casa.

If you don't have an entry and an open space instead. Create an entry area with bookcases, cabinets or a screen. Open shelves can be used for accessories, keys or family photos.

My essentials to have in the entry. A lamp, a box for pockets turns, coins or keys, a candle, a jar for natural or artificial flowers, a frame with a favorite photo or a decorative object if you prefer, and find the photo too personal.

Palmer & Krisel Designed Mid Century Modern Home in North Hollywood Hits The Market
 |
| Images courtesy Post and Beam Real Estate |
5 Beds/3 Baths on 2,085 sqft on a total lot size of 7,478 sqft built in 1954 in North Hollywood. The home first hit the market at $499,000 on January 15, 2014 and is already in escrow. The listing description states the home was designed by notable architects William Krisel and Dan Palmer who designed mid century modern homes for the Alexander Construction Company. They designed throughout Los Angeles primarily in Palm Springs and San Diego. However, they also designed the Corbin Palms (and here) community in Woodland Hills off of Victory and Corbin. Some of their Woodland Hills examples have been featured on this blog here,, here, and here as well as in Van Nuys by Krisel here. The listing description states:
This mid century modern home was designed by visionary architect William Krisel and his partner Dan Palmer. Krisel emphasized livability and devised this airy dwelling with windows opening onto the bright expanse of the surrounding pool and drought tolerant landscape. Krisels' visionary style that defined the sensibility of modernist design in Southern California can be witnessed in this home's open living space and clerestory windows. Permitted additions, done with respect to the original style in the early 1960's, include an upstairs master suite and spacious dining room. The fifth bedroom has been converted into a cozy den that flows into the generous living space. Upgrades include a newer roof, central A/C, copper plumbing and double paned windows. Situated on a cul de sac in an enclave of Krisel designed homes, this property is a stunning example of what he called psychologically pleasing homes.

Celeb R.E.: Former NFL Raiders Running Back and SFV Native Justin Fargas Moving Out of Sherman Oaks Architectural Home
 |
| Images courtesy Cap Equity Realty |
Fresh on the MLS is the Sherman Oaks listing of an architectural home belonging to Justin Fargas with an asking price of $2,795,000 on January 23, 2014.
Former NFL Raiders running back, Justin Fargas, is a native of the SFV who was born in Encino and attended Notre Dame High School in Sherman Oaks before attending USC. He was drafted by the Raiders in 2003 and played there until 2010 where he was dropped. The Denver Broncos briefly picked him up in 2010 but later released him before the start of the season. His dad is Antonio Fargas who is famous for playing "Huggy Bear" on Starsky and Hutch as well as other roles in several films and TV shows.
The home measures 3 Beds/3.5 Baths on 4,892 sqft on a total lot size of 0.48 acres built in 2000. The listing description states:
Rock star living at its best in this gorgeous architectural home. One-of-a-kind loft-style residence South of the boulevard with ultimate privacy yet access to everything. Cutting-edge modern on sprawling park-like grounds with incredible jetliner views. Large scale living w/ enormous volume/space. A professional athlete's dream, and a rockstar's playground. A unique home for those with exquisite taste. Sexy master suite with heated floors throughout. Head turning 2-story living room, home theater, bonus room with pool table, sleek kitchen & baths. Concrete floors, surround sound, art walls. Multiple windows & terrace deck overlooking vast resort style grounds, surrounded by mature trees. Secluded one bedroom guest house. 10' deep saltwater pool, hot tub, putting green, outdoor kitchen. Entertain in style. A striking property for an entertaining lifestyle.
Fargas purchased this home on July 17, 2008 for $2,295,000 just before the housing crash reached its lows. If Fargas sells at the current asking price, he stands to gain an even steven $500K before any expenses.
Prior to the Sherman Oaks home, Fargas was living in a Chatsworth home that was purchased on March 11, 2004 and sold on September 28, 2012 at a $70,000 loss not factoring in expenses. This home was discussed on this blog which includes listing pictures.
The reason for the sale or his future living situation is not known but it is possible he is moving to a more kid friendly home since he had his first child, a daughter named Justice, with LSU women's basketball head coach, Nikki Caldwell, in March 2012. Its even quite possible that Fargas is leaving the SFV to be closer to her baby's momma at LSU.
Perfect Wallpaper * Papel de Parede Perfeito
If there's one thing I love about having a store is when a customer ask us to look for a specific wallpaper with a specific color or pattern. I personally like the challenge of looking for catalogues and catalogues to find many options to fulfill our client's desires.
Two adorable customers came in the store this week searching for wallpapers patterns with birds. And there we were searching for them. We found many and she fell in love with one of them. Today when I found this I remembered her. This room is beautiful and the birds wallpaper absolutely adorable! Isn't it?... and there I go looking for this one too!

Se há coisa que eu adoro, é quando uma cliente da loja procura uma coisa específica e nos faz andar umas horas à procura deste ou daquele papel de parede, desta ou daquela solução...
Tenho duas clientes amorosas que andaram a namorar a minha loja, várias vezes esta semana. Andavam à procura de papeis de passarinhos como este. E lá andámos nós de catálogo em catálogo em busca dos pássaros perfeitos! Encontrámos a solução, mas hoje quando encontrei esta imagem lembrei-me logo delas. Não é absolutamente maravilhoso este quarto?! O papel é lindo!... Lá vou eu à procura deste também!
O design é do fabuloso portfolio da Laura Tutun e o papel... quem me dera saber!
Estes são alguns dos meus favoritos.
