They can probably afford a bug-tender, or somethin'. But actually, I think there's a ginormous piece of glass on that end that looks like it's completely open. Look at the picture on the cover, it has drapes. Maybe not, because that would be a big ass piece of glass (hey, they could afford it), but the rest of the house looks like it has big glass, too.

Either way, I get Elle Decor and Dwell and there's a lot of houses with movable walls and shit like that. No thanks.

Mmmhmm. The first pic on the link Zombie posted has some sarcastic comment about keeping the bugs and toys outside where they belong. I camp several times a year, so maybe I have a slightly higher living with the bugs tolerance. But at the same time, ain't no good reason to not install a screen if you can.

I thought in that part of the country flying insects are not too numerous... its mostly night crawlers like scorpions and lizards n stuff?

That worse actually.

WAY worse. Rattlesnakes are not to be messed with.

How do you keep bugs out if your family room is open like that?

all they need is a colony of these little cuties

I really prefer Sheryl Crow's place, linked on the same page

http://www.architecturaldigest.com/homes/homes/2011/03/good_vibrations_slideshow#slide=1

that's partly because I think the smiths are assclowns, and sheryl crow is nice.

Glad you like Sheryl Crow.... we'll have to contact those Smith's about their behavior. They should do better to gain your approval! Because your approval is what's most important! How dare they live life the way they want to!

So you really like Will Smith a lot, huh?

A little off topic, but I'm liking Jada's dress: lately I've been growing tired of everyone in the public eye running around in short little shimmy dresses that aren't remotely thinking about heading towards the neighborhood of a woman's knees. This dress is giving me that Diane Von Furstenburgish Grown Ass Woman vibe. I likes.

LOVE the dress.

She looks hot but what is up with his sneakers?

Nope... don't know them... like them for what they emulate in the black community.

I'm ripping you because you expect them/him to act a certain way? Not everyone can be like Sheryl, and I love Jada... Jada's a total badass... so to call Jada an assclown? Naw, you're completely mistaken.

Will Smith may not be your cup of tea, but he got Jada and kept her... they have a great family and things seem all gravy for them. Kudos to that family... they are important to the black community. So I celebrate them, because they are breaking new ground and showing many that being in Hollywood, successful, and happy is obtainable where many say its not possible.

Will Smith is just along for the ride... the real talent is Jada... no need to notice Will. He's gotta nice ass though... that's it.

Damn, these motherfuckas are filthy rich and it makes me sick and jealous..

Check out Tony Bennett's ...5 million.

I love the look of the living/family room, but y'all got me confused I assumed it was a big window not all opened.

Those views! It needs a bigger kitchen and stuff, but it's a very good start!

The view from the bedroom is to die for! But for that pricetag.... the place looks so outdated. I gues you pay for location.

paintedlady said:

25,000 square feet?? Holy cow!! You would have to have a large crew of people cleaning the house, doing the landscaping, etc. etc. Which I'm sure they do; since they undoubtedly can afford it. Will and Jada are definitely living large.

If you have the money to buy that house I figure you've probably got enough to make it look however you want. But yeah, that location is crazy. I didn't even know where it was and I thought I knew pretty much every bit of coastline on the bay. I was racking my brain, looking at the views trying to figure out where the hell it was. I finally used the little map on the page and kept pulling back until I could figure it out. That is some prime, exclusive, RIDICULOUS real estate. And I guarantee the view at night is ten times more stunning than all those day shots. Sunsets over the City and the GGB are probably pretty spectacular, too.

... and the freggin cliff face was landscaped to perfection! Did you notice that? No detail left untouched... those trails of greenery must be sublime. Tony Bennet don't play! I wonder though if they asked for a bit more because of its former owner.
