In my opinion, for what it is worth, "great bones" means the house is well built and well designed.

Great bones usually refers to a house that will have demolition involved to make it nice - and in this case that was already done, fairly recent. This house was fug before that.<BR/><BR/>And Mama mentions the marble in the kitchen...<BR/>It is Rive Gauche marble, very dark brown, and terrible to maintain in a kitchen.

And <I>those</I> statues - gotta go, and I mean now! Perhaps some antique Asian pieces in their stead - a nice pair of Japanese <I>inros</I> on plinths?<BR/><BR/>But I love, love, LOVE that pool - and the adjoining wedge of a spa. Inside, the floor surfaces are perfect - especially if Simon, in a moment of insanity, invites Paula over for lunch; easy to clean up whatever that trainwreck manages to unswallow as she staggers from room to room, wondering why the walls are crooked when her path is not.<BR/><BR/>Let's hope Simon chooses to keep the best of the bones and not turn it into just another anonymous Bird Street address.<BR/><BR/>One more thing, Mama; mentioning David Beckham and <I>unnaturally large</I> in the same sentence is just plain naughty!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-13874495635381711462008-01-04T05:40:00.000-08:002008-01-04T05:40:00.000-08:00The thing is he doesn't even live in L.A - he's ba...The thing is he doesn't even live in L.A - he's based in London, unless he moved when he sold his company but I doubt it.
