Sam and Perlin Dobson bought a run-down castle in the Scottish highlands and then invited the entire Dobson clan to live there. That’s when things took a disastrous turn.

In Brussels, a Town House With a Vintage Vibe
Wed, 01 Oct 2008 07:57:51 -0000
Brussels is famous for its tall, narrow town houses, but the slender entrance hall and impossibly high ceilings leading into Justine Glanfield’s home seem almost like a pastiche.

Hot Property: Julianna Margulies' Santa Monica home for sale at $4.5 million
Sat, 04 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0700
Hot Property Whenever I walk into a hospital emergency room, I still look for Nurse Hathaway -- the one who goes the extra mile for her patients, even when someone who looks like George Clooney is distracting her at the moment.
Windsor Square-Hancock Park Historical Society house tour spotlights a 1908 survivor brought back from the brink.
Sat, 04 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0700
Architectural photographer Mary E. Nichols and Keith Wood saw good bones beneath the Wilton Place property's shabby facade. AS an architectural photographer and confirmed "house-aholic," Mary E. Nichols has seen many a residential wreck. But the 1908 specimen at 212 S. Wilton Place -- part of an L.A. street listed on the National Register of Historic Places -- was a house of horrors.
Only in Malibu: the $2-million mobile home
Sat, 04 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0700
Bluff-side Paradise Cove and Point Dume Club take manufactured-home living to new heights. If you want to live among gas-guzzling, tax-evading, hippie-gypsies running from the law, then Malibu's mobile-home parks are not the places to look (as the Who might otherwise suggest in its hit song "Going Mobile"). Here you will find no country-trekking trailers, but double-wides and manufactured homes placed permanently atop sweeping ocean-side bluffs. In fact, the term "mobile-home park" is rather misleading in this mansion- and estate-packed section of the globe.
In Los Angeles, a 1900s White House for the not quite presidential
Sat, 04 Oct 2008 00:00:00 -0700
A certain Pennsylvania Avenue address has spawned imitators across the continent, including Beverly Hills' once-grand Rosewall estate. JOHN McCAIN doesn't know how many houses he owns, but he wants 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Ever since the "presidential palace" was completed in 1800, the White House has been the ultimate American address. For a century it was our largest house, more than double the size of Monticello and Mount Vernon combined.
Los Angeles County Arboretum's Art in the Garden Initiative

Denver Post: Lifestyle

A flight of unrest urges us on

Much ado is in the air. It is as if I am a green sticky-footed gecko trapped in a white shoebox. I move from wall to wall and then back again. Up, down, over, backward, ceiling, floor, faster, faster. I see no door, and I don't quite know what I'm getting done, yet I feel the tug and pull to do it now. I am hungry all the time. Unrested. Too full.
700 gather for Women against MS Luncheon
