If you’ve just struck oil and need a new place, how about this Woodside Luxury Estate? Currently being offered through Sotheby’s for $39.5M this Woodside California home features a 14,000 Sq. Ft. interior with five bedrooms and bathrooms. Besides the regular living spaces the estate also boasts a 13,200 bottle wine cellar, gym, 15-seat theater, 7-car garage, and guest cottage. Plus the pool is long enough to jet ski in, like that scene from Billy Madison.
Vino Anyone?
Well, it’s that time of year again, summer is upon us and it’s time to barbecue. If you only have a small patio or need to take your grilling on the road, check out this portable Propane Grill by Weber. The grill folds up making it easy to transport, yet still allows for a 189 square inch cooking surface. With a push-button ignition system you’ll be grilling steaks, burgers, hot dogs, and all your other favorite savory BBQ delights in no time. Also great for tailgating and camping.
If you don’t have the room or cash to put a heavy duty espresso maker in your kitchen, that doesn’t mean you can’t still enjoy a homemade cup. Simple, small, and easy to use – a stovetop espresso maker will get the job done. This Italian made polished aluminum stovetop espresso maker by Bialetti will make three 2 ounce cups of espresso in just five minutes. Also available in 1-cup and 12-cup configurations.
There are few activities more pleasurable than sitting outdoors in an Adirondack Chair enjoying a cold one. Even if you don’t have a lake house or grand view from your property, you can still enjoy the fresh air and comfort with a quality outdoor chair. This Cape Cod Folding Adirondack Chair is made with durable Trex material which means it never needs to be stained, painted, or sealed. This way, you can spend more time relaxing rather than fixing up your chair.
It’s no mystery that real estate is quite pricey in New York City, but what will $60M buy you in terms of an apartment? This one of a kind penthouse is listed for that amount by Sotheby’s and sits atop the Time Warner Center in midtown Manhattan, overlooking Columbus Circle and Central Park. With four bedrooms and 6.5 baths the apartment sprawls across 4,000 Sq Ft, which means each square foot will cost you $15,000 – what a bargain! I wonder if they’ll knock off a million if they take those scary statues with them.
The View Ain’t too Shabby…
Sometimes it’s just the little things that make life better, like adding some awesome BBQ sauce to your favorite meats. Tonight I whipped up some chicken cutlets and doused them in Sweet Baby Ray’s Sweet ‘n Spicy Barbecue sauce – and I’m still rubbing my belly in delight. Sweet Baby Ray’s is award winning BBQ sauce and all you need to do is squeeze some on your meat to make it tangy, sweet, juicy, and delicious.
Today kids grow up drinking soda out of cans and plastic bottles, but back in the day a bottle opener was required to drink a “pop.” Bottle openers used to adorn soda machines and were a necessity to enjoy a Coke or Pepsi. This nostalgic Coca-Cola bottle opener will certainly add some character to your home bar and even though bottled sodas are hard to come by, it’s still great to have a solid wall-mounted opener for your beers. Or, mount it to your workbench for opening up a cold one after man-toiling in the garage.
If you’re looking for some quality furniture and decor for your bachelor pad or “man cave” – check out The Men’s Den collection from Pottery Barn. Items such as this leather home theater recliner armchair will have you lounging in comfort and style. With a power recline button and built in cup holder, you’ll be in no rush to get out of this chair. Modular configurations are also available so you can create home theater seating. Nice furniture will cost you though, and these chairs run for $1,500 each.
If you thought the Crystal Skull Shot Glass was cool, but slamming shots isn’t your thing – check out the Hopside Down Beer Glass. While it’s obviously fun and novel with an upside down beer bottle inside – it’s also functional too. The double-walled glass will insulate your beer keeping it colder longer, which is always plus.
If you’re feeling nostalgic, pour yourself a drink in a copper mug. In the 1950’s, the Moscow Mule became a popular mixed drink and the preferred drinkware was a copper cup. To make a Moscow Mule, simply mix two parts vodka, one part lime juice, and 3 parts Ginger Beer. This 16oz copper Moscow Mule Mug pays homage to the drink and features tin lining and brass accents. Even if the Moscow Mule isn’t up your alley, this copper mug can certainly be used for beer, black coffee, and other manly beverages.
If you’re having the guys over for cigars and cards, class things up a bit with a quality cigar ashtray. This unique triangular Montecristo ashtray is both ornate and collectable. Made of fine porcelain and measuring 8.5″ across it’ll make a fine addition to your poker table – just don’t go overboard with the Tony Montana impressions. If this is up your alley, also checkout the cast iron hand cigar ashtray and the Cohiba cigar ashtray we previously posted.
Having a pool table with the Cuelight Interactive system may allow you to claim the ultimate bachelor pad, even if it’s one of the only things in your house or apartment. As seen in the Paradise Tower Penthouse, Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, Las Vegas and the Esquire SoHo apartment – the system displays hi-def imagery in response to every shot. The creator, Obscura Digital, doesn’t have a price for the system on their website but it’s definitely pricey and doesn’t include a pool table. Check out the video of the Cuelight in action.
