The 4,000sq ft house also has a swimming pool, garden with a waterfall, media room, outdoor living room with a fireplace. The house has many floor-length windows but the high walls and security gates will keep Ms. Kardashian’s privacy intact.

Every room from the entrance hall to outdoor living area are decorated with luxurious curved furniture in mixture with modern steel furniture. Some furniture pieces’ upholstery is in subtle floral prints. The furniture itself is in white and powder tones.
All the rooms are painted in light colors which contrasts with various tints of wood featured in window frames, tables, floors and furniture. The house has many living areas with the furniture arranged neat the fireplace or wide-screen TV. There are also a dining room with arched windows and terrace entrance and a bedroom.
The kitchen also has these huge windows which lets the day light in which reflects from white walls and kitchen equipment which is also mostly in white. The kitchen also has a fireplace which gives it a cozy atmosphere. There is also an outdoor barbecue-equipped area with the fridge, sink and storage.
Top 5 Snakes
Top 5 Snakes
Posted on Sep 01, 2011
5. Pareas iwasakii
This tiny but rather large-headed Japanese has one of the most oddly specific diets in the animal kingdom; its asymmetrical jaws are adapted for preying entirely upon snails…so long as their shells spiral clockwise. A once rare mutation is known to produce snails with counter-clockwise shells, and since these provide a greater challenge to the snakes, the “mirrored” snails may be growing steadily more common.
4. Atractaspis
The “stilleto” snake has also been called a “mole viper” and “burrowing asp.” Though highly venomous, it spends most of its time tunneling through soil with little or no room to open its jaws and strike. Instead, it possesses switchblade-like “pop out” fangs, which it hooks into subterranean prey by jerking its head backwards, hooking into their flesh.
3. Scolecophidians
“Blindsnakes” or “threadsnakes” are another group of burrowers, nonvenomous but quite a bit weirder than our last serpent. With eyes covered over by thin scales,tubular worm-like bodies and mouths tucked underneath their heads, these animals are completely adapted to a fossorial (burrowing) lifestyle, and feed primarily on soft subterranean insects such as termites and ant larvae. Some species even possess tiny, movable finger-like sensory growths on their snouts,much like a star-nosed mole.
2. Eunectes murinus
No list of snakes is complete without the green anaconda, the heaviest alive today and one of the world’s longest predators. While their typical recorded length is up to sixteen feet, reports of anacondas over thirty feet in length have circulated for centuries. Like all constrictors, they wrap their bodies around prey to restrict breathing and kill by asphyxiation, swallowing the prey whole when it finally stops struggling.
1. Naja ashei
With their deadly venom and famous “hooded” threat display, cobras are easily the world’s most iconic, most dramatized reptiles, and none are as fearsome as the various “spitting” cobras, who can spray venom several feet from their fangs with muscular contraction, often aiming deliberately for the eyes of attackers and capable of causing blindness. Naja ashei, a species from Kenya, is the largest and most venomous spitting cobra in the world, reaching lengths of up to nine feet from head to tail.
Beautiful Cars
A collection of beautiful cars that are sometimes concept and at others, coming in the near future. Either way, enjoy them.
Architecture of Future
As the modern architecture has followed the Industrial Revolution we saw the simplification of form, clear lines and little of no embellishments. Now looking at the projects of the future architectural designs we can see how the modern architecture has evolved in so many different ways.
Exploring material properties and forms, playing gravity, angles and structures modern architects project absolutely stunning buildings the world haven’t seen before. The simplicity of the modern design goes behind as the new complex forms crawl into the design of the modern ambitious architects.
Inspired by new things and sometimes even simple ones around us modern architects come up with the projects of gigantic buildings in forms of dragonfly’s eye, giant chair, body of flame, etc. Thus get to experience a whole new concept of the modern architecture.
