<b><a href="http://www.samhomedecor.com/pink-room-decor/" target="_blank">Pink living room</a> with dark background</b> Another way to decorate pink living room is to opt for dark background.

<b>Gather Small items</b> Whenever you are going to buy something for your living room, then you must know exact measurement of your room. There is no need to buy a large sofa when you don’t have adequate space to set it. You don’t need only <a href="http://evafurniture.com/leather-sectional-sofa/" target="_blank">sofa in your living room</a>, you need many more things. Therefore, always buy small sofa set or simply couch for your living room. You also need to get small size LED TV, entertainment rack, a cocktail table. If you buy big size items then you may make them a part of your small living room décor but it will be hard for you to walk around it. It is good to place additional seating such as a bench or stool along a wall. <br />

Many people are downsizing everything in their lives from the cars they drive to the homes they live in. For some, the movement toward tiny houses is about saving money but for others, the opportunity to live a simpler life is just as big a draw. The average size of a tiny house is between 100 square feet and 400 square feet. By comparison, the average size of new houses built in the United States in 2013 was approximately 2,600 square feet. A compact living space is attractive to individuals of all ages, including college graduates, newlyweds, and retirees. One of the most obvious advantages of a home this small is the owner does not need a huge plot of land. The house is portable enough to move virtually anywhere. Manufacturing costs are low because builders do not need as much material and it takes fewer hours to assemble. That translates in a significantly smaller price tag making it affordable to more consumers. Tiny house owners do not have to worry about signing a 30-year mortgage just to have a roof over their heads. The savings continue long after moving into this type of house. They are much less expensive to heat and cool than a house that covers a couple thousand square feet. Miniaturized appliances cost less to purchase and require fewer resources to operate. New construction traditionally puts a strain on the Earth's natural resources. Moving into a tiny house is especially attractive to those people who want to reduce their carbon footprint. Because of their size, many of these homes are constructed with recycled materials. After they are built, they are energy efficient and produce less waste. Tiny house designs make the maximum use of the space available. Concealed storage closets and cubbyholes take advantage of areas that are typically wasted. Without extra space, occupants are less inclined to accumulate possessions that they do not really need. Without the clutter, the rooms appear and feel bigger than they actually are. Cutting down on purchasing impulse items means less waste, less money spent, and more money saved. Many people realize that they lead a higher quality of life after they have eliminated unnecessary possessions. They lose the desire to buy status items just to keep up with their peers. They feel less stressed and receive more happiness out of the little things in life that are more important in the grand scheme of things. A smaller home means less time spent on maintenance and cleaning. Instead of taking hours to dust, vacuum, and wash windows, it takes just a few minutes to clean the entire house from top to bottom. This means more time spent with family and enjoying life. Despite all the benefits, living this type of lifestyle is not for every. Before making the commitment to living in a tiny home, individuals should weigh their options and consider the disadvantages of downsizing to just a few hundred square feet of living space. One of the biggest problems is likely to be deciding which possessions to keep and which to sell, donate, or discard. As difficult as it may be, many people find this process to be liberating once they make it through. Living in smaller quarters requires a high level of organization. A little bit of clutter goes a long way in a small space. Someone who cannot stay organized will become quickly overwhelmed. The home will look more like a storage closet and will lose all of its appeal. Someone who loves to entertain guests at home will have a hard time following this lifestyle. Accommodating any extra people indoors will be challenging if not impossible. Depending on the climate and the time of year, homeowners can consider entertaining guests outdoors. Creative use of outdoor space is an effective way to increase the amount of usable space available. A porch or deck provides a comfortable place to barbecue, dine, or just kick back and relax whenever the weather permits. The reasons people choose to move to smaller homes are personal but many are looking for a simple life and a way to escape living from paycheck to paycheck. The satisfaction of being self-sufficient is something else that people gain when they downsize their living space. Moving into a tiny home can be the ideal solution for someone who wants to achieve financial freedom while living a lifestyle that is friendly to the environment.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00311115179281010371noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8706314476665385255.post-8200847302188926952015-01-10T08:59:00.000-08:002016-09-16T22:58:17.613-07:00Kitchen Comfort With SallyNumber 59 was my favorite kitchen ever. In the back of a quirky Victorian home in London, it fed every part of my creative being (I just didn't know it at the time). Because it went down a step or two, and had a separate door, it always felt like I was going into another world. In reality, years ago, it was probably the Maid's quarters; a place where they chatted and relaxed after cooking a meal, politely separated from their employers, whispering about the events of the day. Whenever I opened the door, I didn't go in there to cook, I just wanted to be there; a fireplace, a table, and some squishy armchairs invited me in, and the warm comfort asked me to stay. I can feel the kitchen as I write this, and remember the shape of the chair that I always sat in (if Sally the dog didn't get to it first. I think it was actually hers, she just allowed me to borrow it when she went outside). Through the sitting area was the tiny kitchen, and a door leading out to the back garden. Sunny days led to picking flowers and clothes drying on the line, and rainy ones a cup of tea and a slice of cake. I baked my first ever Victoria Sponge cake in that kitchen, and had my first cup of Earl Gray Tea (which I still don't like); I felt very grown up when I drank it, knowing it was quite posh, while trying to ignore the perfumed Bergamot that made me almost want to be sick. Even so, making loose tea in a teapot was special, a treat that I never refused (or told anyone that I didn't really like it). My Auntie cooked and baked all the time, and the kitchen (to me) was the best room in the house. We would wander in after work, poke around the cupboard, grab a chocolate biscuit, collapse in a chair, and tell her about our day. It was warm, and we would always ask what was for dinner, and when would it be ready. She would keep doing whatever she was doing, and she would listen. Like many mother's, she had learned to let us talk, figuring out our own answers by the time we reached the end of the story. Sometimes, there were no words, just a cup of tea, or a nod of the head. It was a safe place to go; a problem solving kitchen. On Saturday mornings my Uncle loved to cook. After walking the dog, he would make us the most delicious hot sandwiches, and we would just sit and eat, in yummy silence. (Maybe some people would have a nap afterwards, while the rest of us complained about doing the washing up). It was a quiet part of the week. Our bellies were full, Monday seemed far away, and I think I was quite lazy. I didn't do my own laundry, but I would happily chat to my Auntie as she folded and ironed for hours on end. I want to believe that she never minded, that she secretly loved the repetition of the iron, and the nice, clean pile of teenage clothes. Sometimes, it was really hectic, and we would be told to get out of the tiny kitchen; but we never went too far, and we could always curl up with Sally, and wait for things to quiet down. It wasn't a fancy kitchen. I couldn't tell you if the stove was gas or electric, or what the counter was made of, but I know that it was a true gathering room; a magical place that made you feel warm and welcome, where the people in it were far more important than the things...Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00311115179281010371noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8706314476665385255.post-27743746660008396882015-01-09T01:50:00.000-08:002016-09-16T22:58:17.642-07:00What Is The Best Home Business To Start In 2015?More and more people around the world are buying goods and services online and the internet has made it possible for people from all walks of life to start their own home based business. Here are 5 reasons why an online business is the best home business to start in 2015. 1. Growing Market Of Potential Customers. More than 3 billion people (40% of the world population) have an internet connection today. This number continues to increase every month as new internet users come online. The surge of smartphones and improved online connectivity has made it possible for people to browse online whenever they want and they could be buying from your online home based business 2. Low Set Up Costs. Ambitious entrepreneurs have often been restricted by the high costs of starting a traditional offline business. One of the reasons that an online business is the best home business to start is that the set up costs are small. You do not even have to develop and produce your own products. You can generate income by selling other businesses' products or services, and they will pay you a commission on what you sell. 3. Vast Choice Of Markets. The best home business to start is one that interests you. There are an almost unlimited number of different sectors and markets that you can get involved in via the affiliate marketing business model. The most important thing is to decide what type of service or product your business is going to sell. If your product selection is too diverse then your customers will become very confused and probably not buy anything from you. 4. Quick And Easy To Start If you were starting a home based business before the internet, you would have to buy stock, spend on inventory and make certain that you had plenty of prospective customers within a reasonable distance to make your business work. You would also have to keep your business open for as many hours and days per week as you could personally manage. But an online business needs no stock and can stay open for business all day, every day for customers from around the world, even while you are asleep! 5. No Formal Qualifications Required. You can start an online home based business regardless of your age, education, background or technical skills. If you have determination and the enthusiasm to learn you can succeed. At the beginning, you don't even need a website, so there's no technical challenges that can stop you either. If you're willing to commit to making it work, you're ready to go.

However, there are many hazards in homes that can lead to asthma, lead poisoning, injuries or other health problems. By using these seven principles, most housing-based hazards can be eliminated. Keep the Home Dry By maintaining the roof, gutters, drainage, and interior sources of moisture, most homes can be kept dry. Excess moisture in homes creates conditions that can affect health including an increase of asthma symptoms and upper respiratory tract infections. Moisture in the home comes from inside sources (cooking, bathing, breathing, and washing) and outside sources (rain, groundwater, plumbing leaks, damp crawlspaces). Excess moisture in the home should be prevented through good construction and plumbing systems, temperature control, ventilation and home maintenance. Excess moisture and leaks in the home may lead to mold growth, pest infestations, and poor indoor air quality. Make sure windows and siding stay in good repair and are covered with intact paint. Keep gutters and downspouts clear and intact and make sure that rainwater drains away from the structure at the foundation. Most plumbing leaks occur at fixtures. Seals at toilets, P-traps under sinks, and shower surrounds and pans need to be inspected and maintained to prevent leakage. Cooking and bathing generate moisture and require adequate ventilation to prevent excess moisture from building up. All exhaust fans in kitchens and bathrooms and clothes dryers should be vented to the exterior of the building, not in an attic or crawl space. Keep the Home Clean Through regular cleaning, reducing dust brought into the home, and eliminating clutter, homes can be kept clean. Pesticides, allergens, and general chemicals in the home can cause allergic reactions, asthma and asthma exacerbation, and toxic exposure effects. Potential sources of allergens and contaminants in the home come from outdoor and indoor sources. Keeping a home clean includes controlling the source of dirt and other contaminants, creating smooth and cleanable surfaces, reducing clutter, and using effective cleaning methods. Keep the Home Pest-Free By sealing entry holes, eliminating water sources, and keeping food in sealed containers, most pests can be eliminated. Pests can create allergens and be vectors of disease. Control of pests through pesticides can lead to poisonings and other neurological problems. Some pesticides found in homes have been banned. Use materials that are less toxic to humans such as diatomaceous earth and boric acid to kill drive away insect pests. Integrated Pest Management is the recommended strategy. There are materials which are toxic to pests and not very toxic to humans. The house should be made less hospitable for pests by preventing entry into the home by sealing holes, denying pests food, water, and places for shelter. Keep the Home Ventilated Homes can be kept well ventilated by using exhaust fans in kitchens and bathrooms and opening windows. Ventilation plays an important role in maintaining health. Ventilation is necessary to add heat, remove heat, add or remove humidity, and dilute or remove contaminants. Local exhaust ventilation (like kitchen and bathroom fans) removes contaminants from a point source, while whole house ventilation (by opening windows) uses fresh air to dilute contaminants. Keep the Home Safe Homes can be kept safe by maintaining the home and safety equipment such as smoke detectors. An injury is NOT the same as an accident. Most injuries are preventable. There are many simple and inexpensive ways to prevent home injuries. Children and older adults are more at risk for injuries in the home. Falls, poisoning, and fires or burns are the most common causes of injuries and deaths. Keep clutter to a minimum to avoid tripping hazards in your home. Outdoor porches, stairs and decks should be inspected regularly to ensure that they are structurally sound. If a structural hazard is suspected, do not use the component until repairs are made. Outdated and overloaded systems and makeshift modifications are the most common causes of electrical hazards. Outlets near water sources or outdoors should have Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection. Overloaded circuits and faulty fixtures can overheat and cause fires. Bare wires can be an electrocution hazard. Place smoke detectors in hallways, bedrooms and living rooms and change the batteries at least yearly; a good time to do this is when the change to Daylight Savings Time occurs. Keep flammable materials in a cool, well-ventilated space. Buy a fire extinguisher and mount it on the wall of the kitchen and read the directions so you'll know how to use it. If you can, retrofit your home for earthquake safety and make sure the water heater is secured so it doesn't fall over during an earthquake <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzwIKeo_AkQCWPlOjaUyeTHtSXfth3MTiaTAJeUiUrlf2URNXnt0aI7c5BjN2f4wzG3lAh8DzgCVSZAQJjyJP443mtv4WyJ1SmU10-kC1gwKojGA429nmGm843-XZFeFe7lhtTpEgMw6U/s1600/Harbor-Beach-Kitchen.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzwIKeo_AkQCWPlOjaUyeTHtSXfth3MTiaTAJeUiUrlf2URNXnt0aI7c5BjN2f4wzG3lAh8DzgCVSZAQJjyJP443mtv4WyJ1SmU10-kC1gwKojGA429nmGm843-XZFeFe7lhtTpEgMw6U/s400/Harbor-Beach-Kitchen.jpg" /></a></div> Keep the Home Contaminant-Free Homes can be kept contaminant free by using safe household products and keeping painted surfaces in good condition. It is easier to prevent exposure to contaminants than it is to remove them and treat their effects. Should contamination occur: control, contain, and clean-up. Contaminants are not always detectable by our senses. Older homes (built before 1978) may have lead in the paint. Keep all painted surfaces in good condition. Keep all materials that are toxic (cleaners, paints, solvents, and medicines) out of the reach of children and in locked cabinets. Keep the Home Maintained Internal and external home systems should be inspected regularly to ensure they are functioning properly.

It is the place where people live with their loved ones and that is why sanctity of the home is always a matter of high priority. People themselves try their best to maintain the home health. Maintaining a good and healthy atmosphere at the residence is an important task that is directly related with the health and hygiene of the people who live in these houses. However, there are certain things that require expert handling and these technical things are required to be handled by expert people who have special training in this field. It is true that these matters are extremely sophisticated and that is why people should take no risk in them as a single risk can create problems with them that can be hazardous for them. There are many companies and organizations that are engaged in this service of providing home care and they help the people to maintain a healthy home. These companies are run and managed by expert professionals and they also have the services of expert people who can work efficiently to provide a clean and clear home that is totally free from any diseases and any other type of health hazards. These companies provide group home service that includes all services that are related with home care. These companies are known for their expert dealings in their field. If somebody in your family is suffering from any disease and you are not capable of handling him or her, then also you can remember these companies as they also provide medical staffing that are supported nicely by expert nurses who are well qualified in their services. These companies also provide private duty care personnel who are also trained and experienced to handle all the conditions that are related with the health and hygiene of your house. The nursing staffing facilities of these companies are also very dependable as their nurses are capable of all types of medical support that are advised by the attending doctors. The main goal of these medical companies is to make each and every home fit and safe for human living. There is no doubt that with the help of these companies, you can maintain a very good condition of your house. However, the responsibility of maintaining a healthy atmosphere in the house does not lie with these companies only. After giving the contract of managing the dirt and filth of your house, you cannot feel at ease as it is your house and it is also your responsibility to keep it neat and clean. You are advised to follow the instructions that are given to you by the expert cleaners of your house. While they are working, you must try to keep an eye on them and you must try to learn how the cleaning work is done. You can also try them later whenever it gets required. Apart from taking responsibility of cleaning your home, these companies also take the responsibility of maintaining the cleanliness of your area too. It is a costly matter and that is why the constituents of the community should arrange their payment. They can even get it sponsored by bigger companies, if they lie in the area. You can also avail the services of these companies that are engaged in the field of employment staffing. These companies employ people, preferably women, who work under their influence without becoming a permanent employee of the company. People who would take their services must try to pay them adequately.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00311115179281010371noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8706314476665385255.post-10162566422044721702014-12-30T15:16:00.000-08:002016-09-16T22:58:17.694-07:00Healthy Home EnvironmentWe spend most of our lives at home. This is the place where we sleep, eat, relax, work, meat with friends, spend time with our families. And we want this place to be safe and comfortable for us in every respect. There are several attributes of a healthy home, and you need to pay attention to each one of them if you want to maintain proper environment for you and your family. Most women think that if they want to maintain a healthy home environment, regular cleaning is all they need to do. But this is only half the story. There are many more aspects that you have to be aware of, otherwise they will cause really unwanted consequences. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRbjdK3WE-6rVdRfzIYO4q_TW4mvoTqjnFEyWi1g4SH384znm3SxWTlobCXPvo8bqrmsu_vzsAVJo7fascyTO-gPP69SJMBR889t11lcmQ2nrybVC94xF9i_0zp908hLQhGMmEPghxmHA/s1600/main+home.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRbjdK3WE-6rVdRfzIYO4q_TW4mvoTqjnFEyWi1g4SH384znm3SxWTlobCXPvo8bqrmsu_vzsAVJo7fascyTO-gPP69SJMBR889t11lcmQ2nrybVC94xF9i_0zp908hLQhGMmEPghxmHA/s320/main+home.jpg" /></a></div>So, here is the picture of a perfect home: clean and organized, dry, pest-free, ventilated, free of toxins. These features are really important, and their proper treatment is crucial for your health, both physical and mental. Clean. This aspect is pretty obvious. You can't speak of a healthy environment in a dirty house. Keeping your house clean and organized should be an essential part of your everyday routine. Yes, organization is extremely important as well, especially for mental health. Researches show that people living in poorly organized homes more often suffer from stresses, frustration, anxiety, mood swings and other mental problems. Dry. Excess moisture creates great conditions for growing and spreading of mold, which destroys not only your house, but your health as well. Mold spores can cause strong allergic reaction, asthma attacks and other respiratory problems. Besides, wet surfaces are perfect for bacteria, viruses and insects. Pest-free. Cockroaches, lice, dust mites, bed bugs and other home insects can spread dangerous diseases, cause allergies, skin conditions and irritations, weaken your immunity. This is why proper pest control is also crucial for creating a comfortable and safe home. Ventilated. According to researches, indoor air in some modern houses may become more harmful and polluted than outdoor air in the biggest industrial cities. Excess CO2, dust, viruses, our skin and hair particles, evaporations from furniture surface and construction materials, emitted toxins, smoke - all this creates an awful mixture that is simply not appropriate for breathing. But the problem is that we are all so accustomed to it that we don't even notice that. This is why it's important to make sure that you breathe clean and fresh air at home: regularly ventilate every room, especially bedrooms, purchase an air conditioner and purifier. Toxin free. In modern world, toxins are literally everywhere. Harmful chemicals are in the air, water, food, furniture, carpets, clothes, toys. But we want to make sure our environment is as toxin free as possible. With this in mind, prefer high-quality, expensive, natural materials for your house, don't overuse detergents and household chemicals or even learn how to make your own natural cleaning solutions, avoid purchasing plastic and rubber items with a strong smell, buy natural cosmetics and personal care products, avoid synthetic fabrics, especially for your underwear, sleepwear and bed linen. In your diet, prefer organic ingredients, avoid highly processed and instant foods, drink bottled or filtered water.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00311115179281010371noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8706314476665385255.post-32733360476759638042014-12-30T15:13:00.000-08:002016-09-16T22:58:17.709-07:00Useful tips for maintaining a healthy homeSimple modifications to your daily routine may help you keep germs that cause infections, like the cold and flu, and allergens at bay. It is important to notice when and where you first start to feel ill because it may help you and your doctor uncover the cause. By doing these simple things you can make your environment healthier and safer for yourself and your family. Living areas Keeping your house clean and free from excess dust, molds and bacteria: Use a disinfectant to clean commonly touched surfaces, like the telephone and doorknobs. Keep the windows closed and use air conditioning if you are allergic to pollen. Don't use fans - they stir up dust. Clean air filters frequently and air ducts at least once a year. Filter the air; cover air conditioning vents with cheesecloth to filter pollen and use a high efficiency particulate air filter (HEPA) if you have a forced air furnace. Keep the humidity in your house below 50 percent to prevent mold growth. Avoid damp areas where molds collect like basements, garages, crawl spaces, barns, compost heaps; clean these areas often. Installing a dehumidifier in inside areas can make a big difference, but be sure to clean it every week. If you have pets, consider keeping them outside if possible; animal dander and saliva are allergens for many people. Otherwise, do not allow pets in the bedroom and be sure to bathe pets often. Vacuum twice a week. When possible, choose hardwood floors instead of carpeting. If you must have carpeting, choose low pile material. Avoid Venetian blinds or long drapes because they collect dust. Replace old drapes and use window shades instead. Wash shower curtains and bathroom tiles with mold-killing solutions. Limit the number of indoor plants you have. Mold sometimes grows on the damp soil. Use plastic covers for pillows, mattresses and box spring; avoid overstuffed furniture and down-filled bedding or pillows. Limit throw rugs to reduce dust and mold. If you do have rugs, make sure they are washable. Wear a mask and gloves when cleaning, vacuuming or painting to limit dust and chemical exposure. Don't allow smoking in your house. Kitchen Clean your kitchen sink and counters with antibacterial solutions after each use. Bacteria left from meats and vegetables can flourish and get on your hands, utensils or other foods you are preparing. Do not use the same utensils for uncooked food without washing them first. Wash utensils with warm water and soap after each use, especially when preparing meat. Laundry Air out damp clothes and shoes (in the house) before storing. Remove laundry from the washing machine promptly; don't leave wet clothes in the washer. Wash your bedding once a week in hot water. Don't hang clothes or linens out to dry, as pollen and molds may collect in them and can make your allergies worse. Outdoors Check the forecast; stay indoors as much as possible on hot, dry, windy days when pollen counts are generally the highest. Try to avoid extreme temperature changes, as they are triggers for some people with asthma, but also help incubate germs. If possible, stay indoors between 5:00 and 10:00 a.m. when outdoor pollen counts are usually highest. Wear shoes, long pants and sleeves and do not wear scented deodorants, perfumes, shampoos or hair products to protect yourself from insect stings. Wear a mask and gloves when gardening. While different flowers have allergy-inducing pollens, soil also has molds and fungi. Avoid raking the leaves or working with hay or mulch if you are allergic to mold. After being outdoors, take a shower, wash your hair and change your clothes to remove pollen that may have collected in your clothes and hair.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00311115179281010371noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8706314476665385255.post-68467846376226796292014-12-22T05:25:00.000-08:002016-09-16T22:58:17.725-07:00Paradise Found: Top 10 Dreamiest Homes of 2014Every year brings an array of dream homes to the market—some old and some new, but all spectacular in their own right. When you hear the words “dream home,” you might conjure up a vision of a place with fabulous views, a home with awesome architectural flourishes or a mansion where closet space is never a concern. We combed through the houses we’ve featured over the past year and found a mix of homes that cover all of the dream bases. To learn more about any of our top 10, simply click on the pictures below. Henman House — Malibu, CA Located high on a hill in the ultra-exclusive Malibu, the fascinating Henman House listed earlier this year for $9.2 million. Designed by architect Ed Niles, this one-of-a-kind home makes extensive use of glass to create an effect that brings the outdoors in. The home’s soaring ceilings and dramatic angles make the home look like the world’s coolest cathedral. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgncY-E0RGpCaQ1UGNPjuv90aqWAqmAhA_RxUsbhU6l89ypgrqqtvVqHpMum11nVR1Xrf30SL4qQima72SRAoH8WXs41jaQbwfWP-XJep1HinMB8_SeDk0FniWVEhNadqM7_FEQgHRPZkE/s1600/Ed-Niles-Henman-House-Malibu-351.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgncY-E0RGpCaQ1UGNPjuv90aqWAqmAhA_RxUsbhU6l89ypgrqqtvVqHpMum11nVR1Xrf30SL4qQima72SRAoH8WXs41jaQbwfWP-XJep1HinMB8_SeDk0FniWVEhNadqM7_FEQgHRPZkE/s400/Ed-Niles-Henman-House-Malibu-351.jpg" /></a></div> Hyperbolic Paraboloid — New Canaan, CT Just up the road from Philip Johnson’s revered Glass House, this New Canaan, CT, Mid-Century marvel shatters the mold of conventional rooflines. Built in 1960 and described by architect James Evans as a “hyperbolic paraboloid,” the home’s distinctive shape is made up of straight lines fooling the eye into seeing a curvy, swooping space that looks as if it’s ready to take flight. If you love the Mid-Century look of this place, you’re in luck: The home is still available for a cool $2 million. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhl0f8IDGte0A_zB27qoe9lmO1GMOsridwEl0RIz1R66LGFjKJU8k5eDi-IvBH_3MXHazG2pWKKhS-806z4xz92wovxMc3oafe8u5iudkvpWPIYMTG43nwTqN5sndlWe1tV1mzoMut1JQM/s1600/newc21-e1415400417369.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhl0f8IDGte0A_zB27qoe9lmO1GMOsridwEl0RIz1R66LGFjKJU8k5eDi-IvBH_3MXHazG2pWKKhS-806z4xz92wovxMc3oafe8u5iudkvpWPIYMTG43nwTqN5sndlWe1tV1mzoMut1JQM/s400/newc21-e1415400417369.jpg" /></a></div>Marc Bell Mansion — Boca Raton, FL Back in May, we asked if you were looking for the “greatest nerd space on earth.” That question remains applicable to this still-available Boca Raton, FL, mansion. While the over the top opulence is visible throughout the $35 million home, the Star Trek-themed wet bar is what cements this mansion’s spot among the most unique homes of the year. Other themed rooms in the sprawling 27,000-square-foot home include an fully stocked arcade, a Call of Duty-themed video game room and a home theater resembling the bridge from “Star Trek: Enterprise.” <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3pnDgqtkbL-rHSyaH-8N4M6lTo6-CcgMCRAqsDuVakhsE1D-bSZPbuUDZqXkTo-Cx4F3kEFNzT4Lk-hmby-QGDHcq-YoEfyDmveXp2QVi_n56vGbzDHVpzHDkvYBVy6lG7DfXY0sEO2Q/s1600/lca8bb344-m13o-e1415399991923.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3pnDgqtkbL-rHSyaH-8N4M6lTo6-CcgMCRAqsDuVakhsE1D-bSZPbuUDZqXkTo-Cx4F3kEFNzT4Lk-hmby-QGDHcq-YoEfyDmveXp2QVi_n56vGbzDHVpzHDkvYBVy6lG7DfXY0sEO2Q/s400/lca8bb344-m13o-e1415399991923.jpg" /></a></div>Collins House — Hopewell, NJ Located in Hopewell, NJ, and designed by architect Philip Collins, this wide-open home with walls of windows also blends the indoors and outdoors—but with a twist: The home has no interior supporting walls, which means there’s total flexibility in terms of the home’s interior layout. How did they do that? Well, it’s post and beam construction that relies on a series of a stone pillars that ring the outside of the home. The listing price has dropped a bit and is now sitting at $1.6 million. Not bad for a light-filled architectural marvel … <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlzTpYq6kARQ33VX_zghNi2ZeKoHXGgI51OQLuiP2Qe34CXfPqZBAiz4fMyfyDKHW07QJrcAOztt3R4bauvR4nCbpO-FuoC03iqPLvBvE8W584isO0qS3QpaBixwue4lQ-acEEkGdE7VA/s1600/hopewell9-e1415400577813.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlzTpYq6kARQ33VX_zghNi2ZeKoHXGgI51OQLuiP2Qe34CXfPqZBAiz4fMyfyDKHW07QJrcAOztt3R4bauvR4nCbpO-FuoC03iqPLvBvE8W584isO0qS3QpaBixwue4lQ-acEEkGdE7VA/s400/hopewell9-e1415400577813.jpg" /></a></div>Kentucky Castle — Versailles, KY For fantasy fanatics, this 50-room castle would prove ideal for staging re-enactments of battles of yore. Used primarily as an event facility, this ode to medieval times is smack-dab in the unlikely locale of Versailles, KY. Listed for $30 million in April, the 16-bedroom home is currently off the market—perhaps it found a prince who couldn’t resist. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXybz0dqih45AmREReg6DKa1mHX6Mg9yFtd-j6Bgq_ZZcEmYEnuimsWnXKxLDowjw5MdsymHSXQ7OD3G1jYwvhQ7569hy2VeSMklrUX8145XJrwJeXtx6-etPB01jKH2NVD0P-RMdQVGU/s1600/castle-for-sale-5-e1415399748754.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXybz0dqih45AmREReg6DKa1mHX6Mg9yFtd-j6Bgq_ZZcEmYEnuimsWnXKxLDowjw5MdsymHSXQ7OD3G1jYwvhQ7569hy2VeSMklrUX8145XJrwJeXtx6-etPB01jKH2NVD0P-RMdQVGU/s400/castle-for-sale-5-e1415399748754.jpg" /></a></div>Iowa’s Most Expensive Home — Urbandale, IA Speaking of unlikely locales, this innovative Iowa mansion might seem more at home on the coasts, but its appeal is universal. Located on six wooded acres just outside Des Moines, it’s the most expensive residential listing in the state. Still on the market for $4.9 million, the home’s interior woodwork and enormous outdoor decks have to be seen to be believed. And that’s not all: The home comes equipped with its own indoor greenhouse, indoor waterfall, built-in aquarium and private pond in the backyard. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjqM3AtPHIJmBCCiqAyJiAOGiXZ_XFVwpWpRMnbEKA_u0mSiAcnIMSEgKw5ONNth4EjOhiakrnGmrUEPSJdJvyq5QEztShqEJKvPNQJeWPx4f6OexPLsCFQrEUDfrWs_do5B4oTdqNJn4/s1600/ia5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjqM3AtPHIJmBCCiqAyJiAOGiXZ_XFVwpWpRMnbEKA_u0mSiAcnIMSEgKw5ONNth4EjOhiakrnGmrUEPSJdJvyq5QEztShqEJKvPNQJeWPx4f6OexPLsCFQrEUDfrWs_do5B4oTdqNJn4/s400/ia5.jpg" /></a></div>Casa de Las Palmas — Rancho Santa Fe, CA In Rancho Santa Fe, CA, you’ll find the enchanting Casa de Las Palmas. Listed for $17.9 million, the sprawling estate offers the California dream on a large scale. The listing agent we spoke with in October said the Casa’s landscaping alone was worth millions of dollars. The 16,006-square-foot home even comes with a unique buyer’s perk: a $250,000 gift card for private jet travel. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHA8RGtW15p954XgIPxSV2SdoJjLHouolVkljQWf6hHs3c-uu6T80zRhplL-G0It8qmUwhUafagYfFGSIvQHV7MOY83QGL_G3G_JQbRCTu-XJCLIr1VBKz-RmHlDNhheI5cNkcBAhfwr8/s1600/rsf4-e1416381299601.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHA8RGtW15p954XgIPxSV2SdoJjLHouolVkljQWf6hHs3c-uu6T80zRhplL-G0It8qmUwhUafagYfFGSIvQHV7MOY83QGL_G3G_JQbRCTu-XJCLIr1VBKz-RmHlDNhheI5cNkcBAhfwr8/s400/rsf4-e1416381299601.jpg" /></a></div>Glencliff — Mount Kisco, NY The stately brick mansion known as Glencliff listed for $23 million in October.

But, nevertheless, they do. Some of the top celebrities in the game are living life with eco-friendly choices and gree homes. Celebs like Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt and Ed Begley Jr. all choose green homes over saving their green. Leonardo DiCaprio has to be one of the most noticed of all eco-friendly celebrities. His home offers a wealth of features aimed at saving the environment and mother Earth. The latest green addition to his home is a $3200 green toilet. The toilet is a combination of celebrity flare and the upper echelon of green technology. Brad Pitt approaches living green is a totally different way than Leonardo DiCaprio. Brad Pitt pays millions of dollars to help other renovate their homes and their lives in a green and eco-friendly manner. Just recently Brad Pitt paid more than $5 million to up and start a green town renovation for charity. And as if this donation was not enough, Brad Pitt and partner, Angelina Jolie, are in the market to buy an island just to promote greener living. The most green of all celebrities has to be Ed Begley Jr. Ed Begley Jr. tops the charts when it comes to changing the way we live in our homes for the sake of nature. From bicycling his way to a perfect piece of toast to competing with his neighbors and friends to have the best energy panels on his homes roof, Ed Begley Jr. lives as close to nature as he can without giving up the four walls of his home. Some celebrities have moved from living the lavish life of excess to living a green, eco-friendly existence. When it comes to gadgets and gizmos for the green home, Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt and Ed Begley Jr are at the top of the green game.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00311115179281010371noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8706314476665385255.post-92074598802914652002014-12-17T20:35:00.000-08:002016-09-16T22:58:17.779-07:00Green Celebrity Homes Everyone is talking about going green around the home these days. When we think of celebrity's homes though, mega luxury comes to mind, not ecofriendly living. However, some stars have made serious home remodeling efforts to make their living quarters greener. Here are a few examples. Leonardo DiCaprio's L.A. House Long known for his environmental activism, that Leo's home is ecofriendly should come as no surprise. His L.A. home is powered by solar paneling and all of his plumbing is low flow and water efficient. Johnny Depp's Caribbean Island Depp bought himself a 35 acre private island in the Bahamas and is in the process of turning it into a totally self-sustaining environment, powered by solar and hydrogen power. George Bush's Crawford Ranch It comes as a bit of a surprise that perhaps the greenest celebrity home of all belongs to former President George W. Bush. The President's home is completely "off the grid", meaning that all the energy needed in the home is generated right there. A geothermal heating and cooling system uses 75% less energy than the average property of its size and the ranch runs on a gray water system. Such a system means that water is recycled and purified by rain water before it comes back into the home. The water is filtered into two areas - one for showers and bathroom sinks and the other for toilets and kitchen sinks. The house is also very small by neighborhood standards at only 4,000 square feet.Everyone is talking about going green around the home these days.

Nowadays, movies are becoming competitive in terms of animation, casting, setting and story. Most of us are fond of watching movies because we are amazed by the scenery in the movies that we do not usually see in the real world. We have seen a lot of houses from different movies where the story of the movie revolves. Let's try to know the real deal behind some of the most famous "celebrity homes" setting that already hit the big screen. The setting in any film is chosen carefully so that it matches with what the filmmakers want to convey to the audience at the same time fascinate them. Producers pay generous amounts to as much as $15000 per day depending on how long the shoot would take, on what type of house will be used and also on the homeowner's negotiating capabilities. With this enormous amount paid and the publicity, houses become instant celebrities! Furthermore, having to brush shoulders with the big stars and get to see the live shoot of the movie is a thrilling experience for the owner of these "celebrity homes". Richard Pettler, owner of the house where Bee Season was shot decided to let in the cast and crew of the film after a three-day negotiation. Pettler and his wife were hesitant when they were given a flier about the shoot. They finally decided to say yes after the negotiation and when they realized that the famous Richard Gere will be roaming in their own home. However, it is a different story for Matt Leffers. Having his house in San Francisco opened up for the cast and crew of Just Like Heaven starring Reese Witherspoon, has been a big deal. When the film site manager of the movie offered to pay him $2500 per day for intruding in his home, the offer seemed tempting and so he agreed to let them in. Although the amount is a large earning for him, sacrificing his privacy has been one of his regrets.This may be true for Kohle Yohannan whose home is intruded by at least 100 people in the Julia Roberts' movie Mona Lisa Smile but for him it's a matter of preparation and expectation. He states that one has to be ready for anything when one decides to make his home be an instant celebrity. The good thing however is that beyond the tantalizing paychecks are incentives that the owner gets after the shoot. Celebrity homes are returned to the arrangement where it has been found or better yet are improved compared to its original condition. Cleaning and fix-ups are just some of the services you'll be entitled to have. It also becomes a sort of advertising for other producers to rent your place and give a larger payment. This has been a great help for most owners in paying for their mortgages plus they can experience the fun that not all people are privileged enough to experience.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00311115179281010371noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8706314476665385255.post-71040309327129032512014-12-11T03:39:00.000-08:002016-09-16T22:58:17.873-07:00Homewares to Make a House a HomeWhen you move into a new house, you want to make it homely, make it feel lived in and make sure it's inviting when you get home after a long day and when you have guests over for a meal. It's not easy to turn any house into a home, especially modern homes are minimalistic in style, leaving you with a few options to create a spectacular place you can feel comfortable in.

This means you don't compromise the overall design of the property and stay within the minimalistic limits to create your own unique and personal space. Photo frames are a must in any home, these are home wares you cannot be without and enable you to place your memories around the home to make it feel more personal. Be careful when choosing photo frames, it's important you choose a design that blends in with your overall house style without compromising on the minimalism you're trying to do. Concrete options are ideal, offering texture, style and something unique to showcase your precious memories. Art work on the walls can instantly transform any home. Be very selective when choosing artwork, decide what colors and impact you want to make. When choosing artwork to place on your walls, you need to also decide size. Size plays a very important part in your selection process. A large wall needs a large and impressive print, a small art piece will look completely out-of-place. Ensure you pay attention to sizes, measure the wall and the space you want to fill and then search online until you find something that will enhance the overall design of the room to perfection. Now it's time to start filling your shelves with all your trinkets and books. Book ends are wonderful additions to any room, but are also functional and practical items.

What about the bathroom? You can add stunning soap dishes to add that personal touch to the space without cluttering it. These home ware items are not only stylish and visually appealing, but are practical. Rather than having soap suds to clean all around the top of the basin and bath, you have one item that needs are washed out. A final touch that you can use in your living room, dining room or the outdoor entertainment area is coasters. Coasters are a must have home ware item in any home and can cut unwelcome marks on tables caused from cold glasses and bottles.

I revel in the peace, working at home gives me. To me it is pure bliss. No constant chatter of a sales office, the constant voices on the phone, with people interrupting your thought pattern when you are concentrating on a particular task. I just feel I have a big fat smile on my face all day, most days. Of course some tasks can be tedious but then they were at work, and I couldn't stop for a minute and make a coffee any time I wanted. I love what I am doing, I am creative by nature so I find delight in many of the tasks I do. I can take time to make sure the layout of a webpage or letter is to my liking. I can create articles out of nothing but a thought or an idea. It feels they grow out of thin air. I have a fascination with words and love writing. I love a challenge, so when I find something frustrating or tricky to master I like the satisfaction of the challenge and enjoy successfully completing it. I love learning and discovering new things I didn't think I could achieve, and learning ways to do things better or more effectively. I love the freedom of making decisions and the time freedom and flexibility it offers me. I have no difficulty staying motivated I enjoy what I am doing so much. I love being warm and comfortable in attractive surroundings of my choice, with the garden view through the window. I take a short lunch-break at a time that suits me, <a href="http://www.tomteland.eu/">enjoying the time I allow myself</a>, but eager to return to complete the tasks I have set myself. I usually stop again around 4pm to continue again most evenings. You would need to choose your work pattern, one that suits you and fits into your lifestyle. The time freedom and flexibility are a big bonus. I wouldn't change my way of life. Working at home for me is perfect, but it wouldn't suit everyone. So if it is something you are contemplating give it some serious thought. I hope you get as much pleasure from it as I do. So to sum up: I enjoy working at home immensely. Most of what I do I find pleasure in, would you feel the same? I enjoy the peaceful surroundings, with few interruptions and to schedule my life as I choose. I like the flexibility. I like to challenge myself and learn new skills without a time pressure set by someone else. How do you feel about this? Is working at home the right choice for you? I also like to work to my strengths. I am aware what is important to me. You will find when you do something you love doing, it isn't a chore, you are motivated by your own wish to achieve what you have set out to do. You can enjoy the day-to-day progress as well as the satisfaction of completing your goal. What more could anyone wish for, there are only a limited number of people who are lucky enough and able to work at something they love. People like actors, writers and sports people. Are you brave enough to follow your dream? You too could be one of the lucky few?

If they have just bought a new property that is going to be a little renovation project for them, heating installation will undoubtedly be on the list, and it is key consideration for any property developer, not least celebrity property developers. The Architect Knows Best Of course, we all know that the celebrities do not actually 'develop' their homes in the strictest sense, but what they do is liase with the architect about how they want their home designing. The architect will then advise them where the central heating has to go and suchlike, so that the celebrities don't get carried away with the aesthetic qualities and overlook the fundamental basics that a home needs. A celebrity viewpoint is often jaded with the idea of possessions rather than design and functionality, so that is why an architect has to step in. In addition to this, an actual central heating installation engineer might have to come round and advise the architect about where the boiler should go etc, so its like a 'feed' of information whereby everyone helps everyone else to get the job done right. You Will Not See Central Heating On Cribs, But Its There! Celebrity homes always look pristine and immaculate - you only need to look at them on MTV Cribs to see what lavish lifestyles they all lead, and their homes complement their characteristics perfectly. Naturally you don't see the ins and outs of celebrity homes on Cribs, like central heating, but all the UK celebrities will have it in place. Central heating installation is an essential requirement for celebrities, and they would not settle for anything less. It is also most likely going to be gas heating, and in some rare cases some celebrities might have oil heating if they live in a remote countryside location where connections to gas works aren't possible. Either way, they are going to have some lovely warm homes when they step inside. In some celebrity homes that are particularly large, there may be the need for a suitably large boiler to pump the heat round the house efficiently. Of course, celebrities can afford to have this in their homes. The cost of central heating installation, boiler servicing and the like are small costs to celebrities, but for some regular homeowners these can be considered pricey home maintenance additions.

Before you join Celebrating Home, read this entire review so you can make an educated decision on whether it is the right business for you. Let me first say that I am no way affiliated with this company, so you can be secure that this review will be 100% non-biased and I will in no way try to sway you in any way. I will just present the facts so you can be secure in your decision, whatever it may be. This brief yet detailed review will cover the company, the products and the opportunity. The Company Celebrating Home is a direct sales/network marketing/mlm company that markets home decor products. Mary Crowley founded the company in 1957, under the name Home Interiors & Gifts (a direct selling company) which grew to have over 100,000 active independent distributors. Then in 1996, another direct sales company called Home & Garden Party was founded by Penny and Steve Charlie. In 2008 the Charlies acquired Home Interiors & Gifts, and merged the 2 companies into one entity called Celebrating Home. Right now, the company has its offices in Texas with over 50,000 distributors in across the nation. They have a bunch of 3rd party support, having been featured on Good Morning America, Living Magazine and Family Circle Magazine, to name a few. They are a proud member of the prestigious Direct Selling Association (DSA), who adheres to a strict code of ethics with the mission: "To protect, serve and promote the effectiveness of member companies and the independent business people they represent. To ensure that the marketing by member companies of products and/or the direct sales opportunity is conducted with the highest level of business ethics and service to consumers." Considering all these factors, and along with the company's long and solid track record, it looks to be a respectable company you can feel confident doing business with. The Products All of the Celebrating Home products are related to home décor and design which include such things as: Scents & Fragrances Home Accents Dining & Entertainment Floral Arrangements Gourmet Foods Wall Decor Patio & Garden All of their product lines are marketed and distributed via in-home parties, catalog parties, fundraisers, and online websites the company provides it's distributors. The Opportunity Reps can join Celebrating Home & become what's known as a 'Celebrating Home Designer'. To join, you'll need to enroll with one of their Designer Kits. There are four to choose from, all at a $149 price point, not including tax or shipping. The Celebrating Home comp plan allows you to earn 30-45% commissions on products you personally sell. You may also earn cash bonuses, free products, car bonuses, and the opportunity to win free vacations. You also have the ability to create a long term passive cash stream by building a team of independent Designers. The comp plan looks to be fair and balanced, and could be quite profitable. Should You Join? From my investigation, you can rest assured, that they are definitely not a scam. They have a respectable management team, quality products, and a generous comp plan. However, having all these things in place will not guarantee that you'll be successful. The reality is, your Celebrating Home success will come down to 3 factors: your ability to market products, sponsor new distributors and properly duplicate your efforts. My suggestion is to implement a fully customizable, generic online Attraction Marketing System so you can promote your business and compete online, as well as have an endless stream of prospects to expose to your business. Once you learn to leverage a proven online marketing system, combined with proven offline techniques, you'll be light years ahead of your competition, and be set up for unstoppable growth with your Celebrating Home biz.

Choose any celebrity home and you'll hardly find any comparable house that doesn't belong to a star. So, what's so great about a celebrity home, apart from being famous? A celebrity home has style, Oscars by the fireplace and gorgeous gardens. In case you're wondering if there is any celebrity home top, read below to see how stars live. Hollywood is the most popular place for any celebrity home, for the simple reason that it is the heart of show-biz. Ahead of the list in the celebrity home top comes Barbara Streisand .This celebrity home is a huge mansion completely covered(inside and outside) with "aged" wood, stained glass windows and an outside garden with brick walkways and streams. The second place in the celebrity home top is the Christina Onassis house, including a 5 Bedroom, 6 bathroom estate with two separate wings, a huge pool and a squash tennis court. The third position in the celebrity home top is held by Madonna and her villa with a personal spa salon, artificial pond, golf terrain and a top interior design touch, including leather sofas and mirrored walls. At 4 we find Britney Spears, the proud owner of a tree-branch mansion with a resort-style pool and an amazing waterfall in the back yard. The 5th and 6th positions in the celebrity home top are occupied by George Clooney and Paris Hilton. The "Casa de Clooney" mansion is a 8 bedroom Tudor house with a large garden and golf terrain and with a design that makes Africa safari seem poor, being the celebrity home type in which you are likely to get lost. As to Hilton's celebrity home, we're talking a large real estate with a Baccarat crystal chandelier in the lounge, several pets' rooms and an artificial garden lake to go with the exotic palms. Celebrity home number 7 is Mel Gibson's and is the paradise-like villa we all dream about. Tennis field, heated pool, garden astronomy observer or large screens covering the inside walls are all there, because this villa is a celebrity home where living like a star is a must. The 8th and the 9th places are held by Colin Farrell and Denise Richards. If Farrell's celebrity home is the typical bachelor villa, with a wine cellar, limestone kitchen tops, beamed ceilings and outdoor billiards salon, Richards has redecorated her private celebrity home using a Japanese theme, with bonsais around the garden pond and a red and black color palette to match the mahogany furniture around the mansion. The final position is Marilyn Monroe's ex- estate home, an elegant villa with a collection of actors' paintings, a '50s decoration theme and a pool showing Marilyn's famous movies. Eventually, any celebrity home is special because it dares be original and it has that glittering touch that other homes lack.
