Mel Gibson’s Tudor-Style Mansion in Greenwich

According to the Daily Mail, Mel Gibson’s house in Greenwich, Connecticut, just won’t sell (oh, boy, do I really want to do another post about a Greenwich house after the last one caused so much trouble?). It’s been on the market since 2007, when the price was set at $39.5 million. Two years later, it [...]

Gwyneth Paltrow’s House in the Hamptons

You guys guessed it! The actress who sleeps in the bedroom I showed you yesterday is none other than Gwyneth Paltrow.

Kitchen Makeovers & Weekend Links

I love a good kitchen makeover. Here’s a circa-1980s kitchen before it was remodeled. Don’t you hate when builders stick fluorescent lights in a kitchen (or any room, for that matter)?
Now take a look at the facelift this family gave it. The only things that went untouched as far as I can tell were the [...]

The Mack House: 1930s Tudor-Revival Mansion

We’re at our final stop on the Cincinnati Preservation Association’s house tour in the North Avondale neighborhood. And I think I saved the best for last.
The Mack House, a 7,000 square-foot Tudor Revival-style mansion, was built by Jacob Mack in 1931, and featured a round half-tower that you can see here. It looks like Rapunzel [...]

Tudor Revival-Style Home of the “Cantaloupe King”

He went on to invent the refrigerated truck and popularize iceberg lettuce in the U.S.
Sadly, when [...]
