Coveted Crib: Light and Visual in San Francisco
I was lucky enough to meet San Francisco-based interior designer Jiun Ho at the Metropolitan Home Modern by Design Showhouse in June. The dining room he created for the space was the most elegant room in the house by far; it could make even delivery pizza seem gourmet. So, it's no surprise that his residential client projects are equally impressive.

In The News: No One's Immune From Downsizing
For most of us, downsizing means foregoing an addition on a home, or selling a vacation home, especially in this uncertain real estate market. If your last name is Spelling, though, downsizing has a slightly different meaning.
As reported in the LA Times, Candy Spelling, widow of Aaron Spelling, has traded in her Holmby Hills home — the largest house in the entire county of Los Angeles with 123(!) rooms and measuring in at 56,500 square feet— for her new $47 million condo, which spans the top two floors of LA's Century City high rise, which is still under construction.

This Just In: Leonardo DiCaprio To Buy Eco-Friendly Condo
According to New York magazine, actor and environmental activist Leonardo DiCaprio is in the process of buying a unit at Riverhouse, an eco-friendly high rise in New York City. Although the price for Leo's unit is unknown, these units usually sell for between $800,000 to $4 million, depending on the size.
Riverhouse is truly an eco-friendly high rise (and I wouldn't expect anything less in a home purchase from the eco-friendly actor).
