Home voyeurs…. a peek into homes

American InStyle magazine features the home of Grammy winning singer Christina Aguilera this month. The mediterranean-style (aren´t they all) mansion in Beverly Hills (where else) used to be owned by Ozzy Osbourne and was the stage for the reality soap around his family. Christina once stated she really didn’t like their style (I Loved it!) and was determined to erase any trace of it. She surely managed to put her own mark to it.

InStyle magazine describes it as Gothic, burlesque, Hollywood Regency and chinoiserie elements are juxtaposed with modern flourishes like graffiti artwork, Japanese anime and kaleidoscopic rugs. “I wanted every space to have its own personality,” According to Christina.

My loyal fans might remember my 2009 post about handsome former San Francisco mayor Gavin Newsom selling his penthouse. He and actress wife Jennifer Siebel  apparently did not move to Sacramento as was suggested in the post, as he is now selling the home he bought shortly after selling aforementioned penthouse. The house is in Ashbury Heights, a wealthy neighbourhood of San Francisco.

with one kid, and another on the way, the couple likely wants the kids to have a room each on the same floor as their own.
