Protect your home the best way you can

elutzik — Wed, 27 Oct 2010 09:58:46 +0000

One of our dreams as humans is to have a home of our own. Whether is a small but comfy one, or a huge mansion, we all try our best to make it our own, to give it a personal touch. We spend weeks looking for the perfect furniture pieces, for the perfect rug, deciding which color goes best on the walls… It’s a tough job, let’s face it.

And when you finally finish decorating and while placing the last scented candle on the table a terrible thought comes to your mind: what if something happens to this candle and your house sets on fire? That’s a scary thought.

In order to protect your home, the best solution, apart from taking care that nothing could go wrong, is to insure it, and the first step is to find a company and request a home insurance quote. In my opinion everyone should get a home insurance, because you never know what can go wrong. It may not be your fault, or it could be a natural disaster, but if your house is insured you can at least get your money back and start again. I know it doesn’t sound too good to start over, but at least you’ll have the money to do it.

The access is provided via an existing wooden barn and trough an underground tunnel all the way to a cut in the mountain, which makes the entire structure presence limited to minimum.

Being built with local manpower, the project had the support of local authorities and it was realized and designed simultaneous.

Paris Hilton, the eccentric heiress had a 300 sq. ft, $325,000 dog house built for her six dogs, which sits behind her Beverly Hills mansion and is furnished with designer doggie products. The house has two floors, a crystal chandelier hanging in the bedroom complete with central air and even a closet for her dogs.

Paris Hilton about the doghouse: “It’s a miniature version of my house.”

“I designed it with the help of my interior decorator, Faye Resnick. I wanted it to be fun, cute, comfortable and beautiful. My friends just love it and think it’s so adorable and cool.”

“They love lying on the balcony, playing in their backyard and hanging out on their living room furniture. They appreciate the house that Mommy built for them,” she continued. "The dogs love to dress up. My friends say they have a better wardrobe than most people.”

Michael Jackson’s Neverland

elutzik — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 16:55:33 +0000

This Tudor style house and land, formerly called Sycamore Valley Ranch was purchased in 1988 by Michael Jackson, and turned into a Disney fantasyland. When he arrived, he added mock-Victorian buildings and attractions that evoked a sense of play. Neverland (from the fantasy land of Peter Pann) was not only Michael Jackson’s home, but also a private amusement park.

In Neverland you can find attractions like:

a floral clock
a zoo
two railroads
a roller coaster
a Ferris wheel
a carousel
bumper cars

Michael Jackson left Neverland in 2005 after a series of police searches. Jackson said the searches violated the beauty and innocence of Neverland. He dismantled the carousel and Ferris wheel and dismissed most of the Neverland staff.
