Keeping Up With the Kardashians' Houses, Part I

While we were on vacay last week, we missed a couple of stories about the Kardashian sisters, the socialites best known for starring in their former hit reality TV show Keeping Up with the Kardashians.


First up is the most famous of the sisters, the curvaceous Kim Kardashian.  Earlier this month, Real Estalker and other sources reported that she recently listed her 3 bedroom/2.5 bath 1,750 sq. ft. condo in West Hollywood for just under $1.1 million.   We have since heard that she has reunited with her ex-boyfriend NFL star Reggie Bush and that they plan to purchase a home together.

As for the condo, looks like it was pretty generic and she tried really hard to spice it up:



Weird thing is, we found features we really LOVED and ones we really HATED in virtually every room!  Like, we loved the gold-leaf ceiling in the dining room, but then the furniture (especially those chairs!) didn't seem to measure up. 

We also loved the tufted headboard and bench, and the giant mirrored high boy and nightstands in the bedroom (bottom, left).  But we couldn't figure out why she needed a mirrored wall behind the headboard.  The pale colors reflected over and over again merely made the room look washed out.

We appreciate other personal touches like the wallpaper and black ceiling in the powder room, and we'd love to get our hands on that 4-panel Buddha-like wall-hanging in her living room (top left photo).

The bottom line is, Kim is a 29yo celebrity-for-no-reason (other than her bodacious butt!) and she's having fun living on her own in L.A--for a least a little while longer.  Her condo looks both stylish and regular at the same time.  We like that.

Let us know if you think she should have done a better job decorating her condo.

Next up Khloe Kardashian.
