First of all, I have to thank all of you who begged me to do a post about Nora Walker’s house in the TV drama “Brothers & Sisters.” I rented Season One and was immediately captivated by not only Nora’s home (shown here), but daughter Sarah’s, too. The sets are all amazing on this show. [...]

Welcome to Fantasy Open House Week: “Old Homes Edition.” Today we’re taking a tour of a home built in 1860 before the Village of Terrace Park had been incorporated. At the time it was built, it was near a busy toll road.
Come on in and look around!
Look what the talented and creative Fifi of Fifi Flowers whipped up for us, just in time for Tuesday’s Hooked on House Tours Blog Party!

Which TV personality just bought this brand-new $10.7 million estate in Brentwood, California?

It’s Conan O’Brien! He’s getting set [...]
