On the Market: Britney Spears's Beverly Hills Home

CasaSugar — Fri, 26 Sep 2008 15:00:17 -0700

As Pop will tell you, Britney Spears has put her 7,453-square-foot, 6-bedroom, 6.5-bath home in Beverly Hills on the market for $7.9 million. But, lucky for you, I've got more intel on the property. According to Real Estalker, the property description reads:

Exquisite gated Italian Renaissance Villa w/approx 7,500 sq ft of luxury, 6 BD, 6 ½ BA, wet bar, library, den, chic dining rm, & grand foyer. Artisan quality finishes, dramatic high ceilings, millwork, stone & mosaic tile floors, & iron accents. Chef’s kit w/Viking appliances & breakfast nook open to spacious great room. Romantic Master w/fireplace, & loggia. Manicured grounds incl. pool, spa, arbor, & lush landscape ideal for entertaining. Offered w/select furnishings, accessories, & art work.

It sounds pretty swank to me (despite the somewhat cheesy décor), and I love the open outdoor patio sitting area. Spears purchased the property for $6.75 million back in January 2007 - not exactly her most lucid days - so maybe she regrets the purchase. Either way, if it sells at asking price, she'll come out on top. Check out the photos and tell me what you think!

This Just In: Britney Spears Goes House Hunting

CasaSugar — Thu, 08 May 2008 14:00:35 -0700

According to E!, Britney Spears spent 45 minutes on Wednesday looking at a house in Encino, CA, which is listed at $5.96 million. The listing for the 5-bedroom, 6.5-bath property reads:

A gracious European-inspired Manor located in the exclusive Clark Gable Estates, this home is extremely secluded yet convenient and accessible to Encino and Beverly Hills. Nearly an acre of private grounds and rolling lawns capture the feeling of an old Italian Villa complete with expansive entrance courtyard. Generously scaled for entertaining the private cul-de-sac location is filled with warmth and character. Handcrafted detailing include old world stone, hand-crafted wood details and designer accents throughout. The unique ambiance of this residence makes it a home for the true connoisseur.

No word on whether she liked the digs or not, but something tells me she might have a hard time affording it on her $1,500 a week allowance, unless Papa Spears gives her the go-ahead. To see photos of the property, and a video of Brit on her house tour, read more.

Casa Quickie: Slip-Proof Tablecloth

CasaSugar — Fri, 16 Jan 2009 14:00:27 -0800

Throwing a successful dinner party is already enough of a hassle without your tablecloth slipping off of the table. You've somehow spent 10 minutes assuring yourself that your linens drape equally to the floor. You set the table, serve your feast, and realize that one side resembles a miniskirt sported by Britney Spears. Frustrating? Yes. Easy to fix? Definitely. Just cut a piece of felt to the size and shape of your tabletop, and the textured fabric will prevent your table's linen number from becoming a bit risqué.

Which Sugar Gingerbread House Is Your Favorite?

CasaSugar — Wed, 12 Dec 2007 08:30:00 -0800

For some imperceptible reason, a few weeks ago I decided to challenge my office to a gingerbread house-making challenge, a "Gingerbread-Off," if you will. Turns out getting my walls and roof to stand on their own was not an easy feat, and suddenly memories of disastrous gingerbread houses from my youth rushed back to me. It was a fun weekend activity though, and I was excited to see what my coworkers had come up with. To be honest, I have to admit that I definitely had my butt kicked.

To find out which house truly takes the cake, please let us know which is your favorite. From top left, I went for a New Orleans style shot-gun house; PartySugar created a snowy log-cabin; PopSugar replicated Britney Spears' estate; BuzzSugar channeled Dr. House; and YumSugar fashioned a mid-century modern ranch.

Wrap Star! Secular Wrapping Paper

CasaSugar — Tue, 11 Dec 2007 13:00:53 -0800

If you're giving a gift this month to someone who, as far as you know, may or may not celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, or Britney Spears's birthday, it's best to leave the nativity scenes, dreidels, and bad hair extensions off of your wrapping paper. Choose a paper solely wintry in theme, and avoid symbolic colors like red and green. This Paper Source Moss and Pool Retro Snowflake paper ($6.50), for example, is a good choice of secular wrapping paper. Its snowflake pattern is nostalgic for Winter, yet its color palette of green, yellow, and blue is nondescript, not to mention that its vintage '50s feel razzes my berries.
