This Just In: Mariah Carey Buys in Bahamas
Rumor has it, according to Real Estalker, that songstress Mariah Carey has purchased a 4,000-square-foot, 4-bedroom, 5-bath home on Windermere Island in the Bahamas. Windermere Island, where Prince Charles and Princess Diana once honeymooned, is an exclusive and private vacation destination marked by luxury homes and pink sand beaches. The home, which was last listed at $4.9 million, is composed of four detached buildings connected by marble walkways and terraces, featuring a fully updated "kitchen house" with a large storage area, laundry facilities, and a bedroom and marble bathroom, two deluxe cottages, a "40-foot-long, infinity-edged pool and a beach cabana" facing Savannah Bay, and a "computer operated camera security surveillance system."

Designer Spotlight: Tom Scheerer
Architectural and interior designer Tom Scheerer combines an architectural sensibility with a comfortable, refined aesthetic in a look he calls "relaxed modernism." His interiors favor well-planned rooms, spatial arrangements, color, and texture over purely decorative elements, and he uses antiques sparingly and artwork decidedly. Having practiced design since 1985, his work can be found in New York, East Hampton, Nantucket, and the Bahamas as well as the pages of Elle Décor, House & Garden, Architectural Digest, and House Beautiful, and he is often named one of House Beautiful's "Top 100" designers.
This Just In: India Hicks to Host Top Design
I just heard from BuzzSugar, that "Top Design will return in the Fall with new host India Hicks," and Todd Oldham will stick around to mentor the designers, as well as all the judges from the first season, including Kelly Wearstler, Jonathan Adler, and editor in chief of Elle Decor, Margaret Russell. If you're not familiar with India Hicks, she is the daughter of "famed interior decorator, David Hicks, and Lady Pamela Hicks," as well as the god-daughter of Prince Charles. But, Hicks is not without a keen eye for design and notable skillset herself, she is a celebrated fashion model and design aficionado, and has published interior design books on island living.
