Look What They Did to Anne Rice's Old House!! 'Interview with Vampire' Author's Mansion Decorated by.... The Sugarbakers?! 

10/24/2014

1 Comment

 
Gothic author Anne Rice lived in her historic New Orleans mansion for 15 yrs, during which she wrote many of her best selling vampiric books like The Witching Hour. Surely, her decor tastes veered toward the dark, old and haunting. She has since sold it but look  what someone did to it! Anne got wind of it, and even posted it on her Facebook page. I'll bet you it was the the Sugarbakers! LOL. 


FUN FACT: Anne Rice used to live in San Francisco & Berkeley.  Her gay son Christopher Rice, a best-selling author in his own right, was also born in Berkeley!

Wassszzup!!! En route to a Halloween party as Ike & Tina, Martin convinces Gina to buy a house, featured on Better Cribs & Gardens. LOL!  One of my favorite episodes of this '90's show, because we learn that:

No inspections + No realtor = No common sense
Sitcom or not, that's the equation for disaster! 

Part 1, part 2, part 3
