According to Real Estalker, Frankie Muniz has relisted his home in the Hollywood Hills, which he originally listed in December 2007, with a new real estate agent and reduced his asking price from $3.875 million to $3.695 million. He paid $3.499 million for the 1,972-square-foot, 5-bedroom, 4-bath in January 2006. The original listing for the home reads:
A Stephen Moore design completely upgraded with the finest of materials. Open floor plan leads to pool and spa with outdr FP. Large master suite has pitched ceils, skylights, 2 large walk-in closets, and stunning bath with infinity tub. Full surround sound system. New fire sprinkler system. Beautiful landscaping throughout and romantic viewing deck with striking city views.
I suppose that Muniz, who in 2006 announced he was taking a break from acting to pursue a career in race car driving, doesn't also drive a hard bargain. Or, maybe now that Lauren Conrad has quit the Hills, he's eager to move. . . . Anyways, I'm kind of bummed not to see a race car bed in there.
I have a friend who refuses to get a bicycle because she doesn't have a stylish way to store it. While there are increasingly more options on the market for bicycle wall mounts, which can help with this problem, I'm particularly drawn to this solution. While these bikes look super functional, they also could be mistaken as quirky sculpture. And best of all, that rolling library ladder on the left side provides for easy access when putting the bikes away or taking them back out. Now, I only wish my ceilings were tall enough to incorporate this idea in my own home!
Humberto and Fernando Campana (a.k.a. the Campana Brothers) are likely the world's most famous Brazilian designers, if not the most famous Southern American designers. Born to the same parents, they were partners from the start, but went their separate ways in school. Humberto graduated in 1977 with a law degree, and four years later Fernando graduated with an architecture degree. Then, in 1983, Humberto ditched the law books to team up with Fernando at the drawing board, and they began to develop furniture from indigenous, ready-made, ordinary materials be it waste products or industrial goods. By the early '90s, their designs had already received international acclaim, and in 1998, an exhibition alongside German lighting designer Ingo Maurer at New York's MoMA truly put them on the map.

For some, dealing with a space that serves as both a living and working area can be difficult, and the presence of "work" can add clutter. But for one painter-sculptor, whose home was featured in New York magazine's "A DIY Artist Loft in Hell's Kitchen," that work is his home's greatest treasure — that is, along with his creative force, which overcame shag carpeting and '70s paneling with DIY tactics.
