These homes were built before central air was popularized.

Why cut such small openings, when such great views are beyond? I respect and support stylistic integrity, but sometimes a little creative license isn’t a bad thing. Not such a huge deal in the canyons as it is when bitsy windows restrict ocean views; a sin worthy of flogging if you ask me.<BR/><BR/>The other thing, especially way up there, is snakes -- sunning in the daylight or resting in the dark. I would not go outside without up armoring in wrists full of jangling cloisonné bracelets, a hand full of keys … and playing a kazoo.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-43801358019418491202008-01-14T12:37:00.000-08:002008-01-14T12:37:00.000-08:00It's not the same house - I have the Instyle maga...It's not the same house - I have the Instyle magazine and the house is very contemporary and it's a 6 acre spread.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-49450332734118418162008-01-14T11:44:00.000-08:002008-01-14T11:44:00.000-08:00. . . unless, of course, Eric came with the house..... . . unless, of course, Eric came with the house.<BR/><BR/>;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-51077665976214643012008-01-14T11:43:00.000-08:002008-01-14T11:43:00.000-08:00Blandly staged so I won't hold it against it but t...Blandly staged so I won't hold it against it but this is just a little too rustic for me . . . and no pool?

I concur with our Mama that a pool should be added to the property to make it more desirable. What kills it for me, though, is the steep stairs from the drive up to the front door. No amount of dramatic landscaping can make the upward struggle with armfuls of shopping worthwhile. <BR/><BR/>FloraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-90191281201947346502008-01-14T07:50:00.000-08:002008-01-14T07:50:00.000-08:00Having said that I find his old house very charmin...Having said that I find his old house very charming despite it's location.so_chic_darlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00295857652423777633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-4253564175599477162008-01-14T07:48:00.000-08:002008-01-14T07:48:00.000-08:00"abstract Italian" I don't like the sound of that,..."abstract Italian" I don't like the sound of that,most of Mama's children know just how much I detest the so called Tuscan style,that in reality looks so cheap and not like anything ever seen in Tuscany.<BR/> I would like some pictures of this new style so that I can deconstruct it tick by tack.<BR/> It's time to make another call to the Italian consulate to see if there's anything they can do.so_chic_darlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00295857652423777633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-86611799652906769492008-01-14T07:17:00.000-08:002008-01-14T07:17:00.000-08:00In the Nov. 2007 issue of Instyle magazine - they ...In the Nov. 2007 issue of Instyle magazine - they have an article on Mabius and his house he lives in now in the Santa Monica mountain - it's a multi-level "abstract Italian villa" - that's what he calls it anyway.
