This Just In: Halle Berry & Her Man Buy Canadian Country Crib

CasaSugar — Mon, 27 Oct 2008 12:00:37 -0700

Rumor has it, according to Real Estalker, that Halle Berry and her Canadian native model man, Gabriel Aubry, have purchased a gorgeous lakefront 63-acre spread for $1.85 million in Saint-Hippolyte, Québec, a small town about 30 miles north of Montréal. Aubry's parents live not far in a suburb of Montréal, so it will be nice for the couple's daughter, Nahla Ariela Aubry, to be near her grandparents. Aubry is reportedly excited about moving back to his native neck of the woods, saying, "It feels great. Anything we can do in our own hometown is always a good feeling." It also can't hurt to move into this stunning cabin. With a clawfoot tub, platform bed, and a pair of Adirondack chairs overlooking the lake, it looks downright serene. What a wonderful escape from the bustle of Hollywood. To see additional photos, read more.

Su Casa: Show Me Your Spring Casa!

CasaSugar — Fri, 21 Mar 2008 16:00:10 -0700

Are you getting your Casa ready for Spring? Does it involve Spring cleaning, redecorating, or major projects? If you've made some cool changes to your pad, or recently moved and renovated, I want to see it. Show off all of your home updates in my group on TeamSugar called Su Casa, where readers can share snapshots and stories related to home decorating, crafts, organizing, and gardening.

A Su Casa post could be anything from a photo of a loved one's home -such as Su Casa member FinnLover's photo of her parents' home in Charlevoix, Québec- to a tiny nook you're tickled by. Think of it as a Look Book for home style. If I see something I like in Su Casa, I might end up featuring it on CasaSugar, so don't be surprised if you get an email from me!
