$80 Million Beverly Hills Home With 18 Bathrooms; Kathy Griffin's Home; Sweeping Staircases: California Wow Houses


CALIFORNIA — California is dotted with cottages and mansions, homes built beach-side or perched on a cliff. The mountain getaway shown above is in Idyllwild.

You can drop $80 million on a gleaming home in Beverly Hills that is grander than hotels that most of us have stayed in, or your perfect home could be a suburban abode with party lights strung over the backyard patio.

This week's California wow houses cater to varied tastes.

Are you looking for a home with a swim-up bar? One's available in Pleasanton. How about a stage to perform karaoke, or to practice your TED Talk? Check out the home in Berkeley. If your dream home is only complete with a backyard art studio, look at the home in La Mesa.

Beach houses are featured in Aptos, La Jolla and Palos Verdes ($40 million!).

And Patch editors had a thing about staircases this week. We didn't plan it, but scroll through the photos below to unleash your inner Scarlett O'Hara.

Prosecutor says two attackers stabbed NMSU student to death | Lubbock Online

ALBUQUERQUE {AP} Crime scene evidence suggests New Mexico State University student Carly Martinez struggled with two men before she was murdered, prosecutors told jurors at the trial of Jason Desnoyers. The 18-year-old student was driven to a remote Las Cruces mesa , was stabbed more than a dozen times in the head, chest, abdomen, back, thighs and buttocks, and her body was "left to rot" in the desert, District Attorney Susana Martinez said Tuesday. Two weapons were used, a single-edged knife and another instrument, said prosecutor Martinez , no relation to the victim. "Two weapons, two men," she said. Desnoyers, 24, is charged with first-degree murder, conspiracy, tampering with evidence and criminal solicitation. Co- defendant Jesse Avalos , 26, is to be tried separately in September on similar charges. Defense attorney Gary Mitchell contends there was only one weapon. He said Avalos wore a belt with a knife, screwdriver and other tools the night Carly Martin

Black frame showers are pretty unique in this sense. They can be integrated in a variety of different types of decors.

In this particular example, the shower’s frame matches the frame of the wall mirror and that of the painting displayed on the wall. This way the décor becomes cohesive. What’s lovely here is the fact that the black elements are complemented by a white backdrop.{found on Maxwell and company}.

Stay in a Tiny Shingled Cabin in Austria That Resembles a Bird-Like UFO

Image
Set on a hilly incline and designed by architects Peter and Lukas Jungmann, the cabin appears to hover above ground like some sort of alien object—a stark contrast to its pastoral environment and the traditional Austrian chalets that surround it.  Tiny Shingled Cabin in Austria That Resembles a Bird-Like UFO - Photo 1 of 11 -" /> Because of its irregular, otherworldly form, and how it seems to be suspended in midair, the cabin was named "Ufogel," which is a melding of the acronym UFO and "vogel," meaning bird in German.  Tiny Shingled Cabin in Austria That Resembles a Bird-Like UFO - Photo 2 of 11 -" /> Available for rent through Urlaubsarchitektur, Ufogel’s exterior is covered in rustic Austrian-style shingles, but its sharp angles and asymmetrical shape gives it a distinctly futuristic, nest-like look.  Tiny Shingled Cabin in Austria That Resembles a Bird-Like UFO - Photo 3 of 11 -" /> Within, the split-level, 485-square- foot space acc
