It looks as though the stripes may be fairly easily done away with, if a new owner so desires. A few cabinet fronts and the stairs are the big “offenders.” If that’s just some sort of veneer or high class shelf paper, no prob. Even if it’s not, the cabinets simply need new doors, although the stairs would be more problematic. The one item I can’t see being altered, only replaced, is the zebra striped sink in Pic 15. If the new owners don’t want it, I’ll gladly take it off their hands. :)

A few questionable points… In the kitchen (Pic 13) there’s an entire row of large appliances – microwaves, fridge, ovens – placed on a wall rather far from any sort of counter top. I can’t imagine taking some steaming hot, heavy item out of the oven and not having someplace to put it down without walking across the room. Same for that chilled watermelon from the fridge. I’m intrigued by the… “medicine cabinets”(?) in Pic 25. I’ve heard that many Beverly-ites stockpile vast quantities of valium, xanax, oxycontin, and the like, but closet sized cabinets’ full? Oh, wait… maybe those are just… water closets. Finally, although I like fire pits and the delightful discussions they tend to generate (not to mention toasted marshmallows), I’m not sure they’re such a great idea with the wizened slopes in full view just the other side of the fence. And given the the steepness of said slopes, strong winds are likely an issue, too.

On the upside, the interiors really are quite nice – colorful but not too much so, quirky but not too much so, open, airy, and light-filled. I’m not sure I agree with the listing that the place is “magnificently landscaped” (unless there’s a lot we’re not seeing), but in general this is a nice place. And very cool rectangular, “icicle” chandeliers, too.

@Denita TwoDragons: Brilliantly hilarious!

Actually, what I imagine as I look at these is the actress hostess coming out and flamboyantly saying, “Dahling, come on in. Don’t mind my little booby-wushkins and all his little puppy-dog friends.The Zebra skins? These were imported from my friends in Africa only last week. Don’t you simply love them?”
