Celebrity Homes – 50 Cents ‘Crib’
Posted by Jeff Awesome in General Design on September 21st, 2009
I debated doing this house or not but decided I would just to show people how NOT to decorate a house. It isn’t possibly bad in the way you might expect with dodgy diamond and fur lining everywhere in fact it is distincly un ‘pimped’. It does however look like a very 80′s hotel.
I’ll start with the facts first.
- 51,657 square feet
- 19 bathrooms
- 19 bedrooms
- 4 kitchens
- Gym
- Movie theatre
- 2 swimming pools (one with a waterfall!)
- 5 jacuzzis (every self respecting man has 5 jacuzzis)
- 2 billiard rooms
- Indoor shooting range (presumably so he can practice his drive-bys)
- Handball court (what is handball?)
- Night club (yes, really)
So it is very well specced and with the jacuzzi’s, swimming pools, billiards rooms and a nightclub it definitely hints at a bit of a party house and would be the ultimate frat house.
That is the entrance hallway and to me that screams tacky hotel rather than somebody’s house. The use of awful rugs and pointless furniture are the kind of random things that get thrown in to decorate hotels. It just doesn’t seem like a very homely place.
The outside does looks amazing though with stunning landscaping. I wouldn’t mind living in one of the two guest houses thats for sure.
The inside ‘grotto’ pool is very reminiscent of a certain Playboy mansion.
Probably the only part of the house that gets used every day – The gym
The part of the house that never gets used and looks like it was decorated by his mum – the dining room
A rather unimpressive cinema room
And the main attraction point to the house – the in house club! I have to say though it looks pretty awful and if I went to a club that looked like that in town I would probably leave after half an hour.
In general the house just has a very80′s feel to it and needs some major updating.
$15.8 To Live In Paradise
Posted by Jeff Awesome in General Design on August 21st, 2009
According to Stylecrave $15.8 can get you one and a half acres of Arizona land and one stunning house. But apparently no interior design skills. The house from the outside looks amazing and the scenery is a lot better than where I am, but it has to be said, I am not a fan of the inside. Not to say it is awful, its just a bit classic for such a modern house.
Is that wrought iron bannisters? How has that ever been appropriate for anything other than gardens! The reason I actually posted this house though is to show you the absolutely awesome windows! Imagine the views from that, makes me sad I can only see a brick wall from my window.
It does look like it needs some furniture though! Actually I love the minimilist look, just get some magazines to sit on and it will be fine 
Last but not least check out the garden, although I presume only a very small part of it.
