Tiles are much more practical in terms of durability and being water proof, but still have to deal with grout lines keep getting stained especially for lighter colors, also the layouts make the repeated artificial patters (full-half-full-half).
Word. Get that billion dollar shot out of here!!!happios said:funny story... several years ago I was playing bball with some friends in Torrance. They had me guard this elderly guy in his 50s. The gentleman took the first shot during the game, and instinctively I went up to block his shot. I was immediately told by a friend not to do that again. It turned out he's the founder/ceo of kingston and rented the court for his friends and employees to play on weekends. Despite his age, it sure feels good blocking the shot of a billionaire ;D

My husband and I just bought a home in HC and pricing was under $2.5M. We bought here because we looked at real estate in NB for over a year, and we could not find anything price wise close to what we just bought in HC? new construction, 4,800+ square feet, 5 bedrooms, a larger lot, in a gated community.
To get a 7 -10 year old home with a small non-view lot, and 4,800+ sqft. in NB or any other coastal community in orange county you are looking at $3.8 - $5M easily.
I have attended many Toll Brother events at HC and 98% of the buyers/potential buyers are locals from Laguna Altura, Quail Hill and other neighboring communities. They are not foreign cash buyers.
Also, my husband and I talk about Restoration Hardware chandeliers often.

J Hsu said:Hmm.. this thread is going up the hill that leads nowhere. But i just wanna add that I am for one not affiliated with HC at all. I am just the one very very interested in buying one in HC, but since I am a contingent buyer, I may not be able to get one at all.
How do you know that's her pic?J Hsu said:Caitlin said:orange_curtain:
