Ooh I loved that post. Opulent and uncalled for I think some of them are. Diane's and Sandra's house look sensible. But it is fun to drive around and see them. Nice photos.

Wow Yvonne, thanks for the tour....one has no idea Sandy's house is so big inside, looking at the facade. Would love to see Vera Wang's house...

Hi Yvonne! I love Diane Keaton and Sandra Bullock, too! I believe Sandra Bullock's sister owns a bakery in Maine. Maybe that's why she's looking there? Thanks so much for visiting my STRESS blog. I will be sure to post any good menus if I come across any. For the most part, I just need to practice PORTION control! And lay off the sweets! haha... Have a great weekend!... Donna

My favorite is Diane Keaton's house love the library and adore the tomette tile floor.

Agree about Sandy Bullock -- enjoy all her movie...

Shirley Mac Lain always adored this versatile actress and read some of her books.

Coco ummm what can I say, she was determined to get ahead and sold out to the Germans, the French never forgave her, the English and Americans did - so we eventually went back to Paris and re-paid them by setting up shop in Paris and bringing money back in though fashion so they didn't shave her head and stripe her and beat her in the streets like they did to other women who slept with the enemy.

My favorite house though is still Diane Keaton's.

Cheers,
Joanny

well...........
it is a popular trend to have your dishes/etc on open shelving.
i am mixed on my feelings about it.
i know you just better be tidy and artful at display.

the ritz however would be my home of choice.

Many people tell me I look like Diane Keaton, some even ask to take my picture. Wonder if they would admit me if I knocked on the door of her house?

Hi Yvonne
Well I love Diane Keaton and Sandra Bullock [well most of her movies] and their homes look gorgeous.. funny.. i think Diane's how is a bit dark for me... but sure has personality.

Now if only I could have Vera Wang's homes.. probably anyone of them... those on the ocean look quite perfect I think...

Hope you are having a lovely weekend,. xxx Julie
