Ben Affleck And Jennifer Garner Buy Luxury Home In Los Angeles




By Christina S.N. Lewis from The Wall Street Journal Asia

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner have bought movie producer Brian Grazer'sLos Angeles house for roughly $17.5 million. That's about 40% less than Mr. Grazer's original asking price, $27.5 million.

Built in 1940 and designed by Cliff May, the one-story mansion was owned for a time by actor Gregory Peck, who had bought it in 1947.

Features in the five-bedroom mansion, which has been renovated and redesigned by Obama White House decorator Michael S. Smith, include eight baths (including his and hers baths in the master suite), a master suite with a fireplace, a projection room (said in listing information to be the "best projection room in L.A."), an art studio, a dance studio and a gym, according to listing information.



Outdoor features on the gated property include a long, tree-lined driveway; a swimming pool; a brand-new, underground two-bedroom guesthouse with a billiard room a craft room and three baths; another building containing an office/gym/art studio and two baths; and a basketball court, according to listing information.

Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart House in Los Angeles


Robert Thomas Pattinson born on May 13, 1986, in London, England. Robert is the youngest of three children and the only son born to Robert and Clare Pattinson.

When Robert was 15, he started acting in amateur plays with the Barnes Theatre Company. Afterward, he took screen role like Curse of the Ring in 2004 (Kingdom of Twilight) as Giselher.

Robert has Awarded Best Actor at the Strasbourg International Film Festival for his performance as "Art" in the film How to Be in 2008.

The big shot at the film Twilight. His audition for the role of Edward Cullen, a vampire in love, took place in the bedroom of the movie's director Catherine Hardwicke . Pattinson wowed both Hardwicke and his future co-star, Kristen Stewart, with his performance. "Everybody came in doing something empty and shallow and thoughtless," Stewart told GQ. "But Rob understood that it wasn't a frivolous role."

The actual number who audition for the role of Edward Cullen is about 3,000 people.

Robert Pattinson is named Top Movie Heart Throb of 2008 by Yahoo, Hottest Actor of 2008 by Rolling Stone Magazine, and named as one of Forbes Breakout Stars of 2008.

Kristen Jaymes Stewart was born in Los Angeles, California on April 9th, 1990 to John Stewart and Jules Mann-Stewart. Kristen�s father, John, works as a stage manager and TV producer for different organizations, most notably FOX. Her mother, Jules Mann-Stewart, is originally from Australia and works as a script supervisor in Los Angeles. Kristen also has an older brother, Cameron.

Though most famous for her role as Bella Swan in the Twilight saga, Kristen Stewart has been a working actor since her early years.

After a talent scout caught her grade school performance in a Christmas play at the age of eight, she appeared on television in a few small roles. Her first significant role came when she was cast as Sam Jennings in The Safety of Objects in 2001. Soon after that, she starred alongside Jodie Foster in the hit drama, Panic Room in 2002 and was nominated for a Young Artist Award.

You already know a little bit about the main star of the Twilight Saga, now let me take you to there love nest in Los Angeles.

Robert Pattinson rented this place before he started filming Water for Elephants, but it's not his main hideout with Kristen Stewart.

Source said those two are much craftier and have another secret spot for their rendezvous, which we, of course, would never reveal.

The contemporary in design house includes a master bedroom featuring a huge bed and floor to ceiling panoramic windows.

The real estate also featured a massive bathroom which again has floor to ceiling windows, as well as a giant bathtub, so one hopes they have some blinds fitted to spare their blushes.

Giovan and Chloe Polanco urban Vintage Loft


gc9511.jpg

Name: Giovan and Chloe Polanco
Location: Fashion District � Los Angeles, California
Size:865 square feet
Years lived in: 1.5 years � rent
Giovan and Chloe have embraced their downtown converted loft for all its natural light and a spacious floor plan. Using a bit of creativity and elbow grease, these two have creatively added DIY charm to their home by building their own closet and coffee table. Their style is a mix of vintage and estate sale chic put to good use in an urban loft.
Chloe, a fashion designer and Giovan, a musician, both have a knack for finding random throwaways and refurbishing them into useful household products or decor. They were able to fit in a formal dining room table, using an old church pew for seating and they found an old card catalog filing cabinet and added a table top with legs to create the perfect coffee table. I love their personal touches like the DIY closet, designed to show off their clothing and accessories, all the family photos and the design detail of red paint everywhere. Together this newly married couple is embracing the idea of their dream loft and they are not afraid of color and texture in their design. Moses, their adorable puppy, has the run of the house and plenty of room to play. I believe they've found a wonderful space to call home.
Apartment Therapy Survey:
Our Style: Eclectic Urban Vintage
Inspiration: We wanted to live in a place where we could build on the existing history of the unit, and combine both of our personal styles to create a welcoming, comfortable, and inspiring home.
Favorite Element: We are both drawn to the natural light that�s let in by the large windows and the openness created by the high ceilings and open floor space
Biggest Challenge: Our unit was originally an office space, which means no kitchen, no shower, and only a small coat closet. Since we loved the layout the owner added a kitchen and a shower for us, but we still had the question of where to hang our clothes...so we built our own closet.
What Friends Say: �Your place feels like home.�
Biggest Embarrassment: Because of it�s size and shape, our shower has been called a �rocket ship�.
Proudest DIY: The closet!
Biggest Indulgence: The first furniture purchase we made together was from an estate sale for the Armoire and Vintage TV, they were our most expensive items, but they really set the tone for our whole loft.
Best Advice: If you have an idea, go for it!
Dream Sources: Thrift Stores, Estate Sales, Curbside Pickup, Downtown LA.
