YSL's Paris Home For Sale

Wishing I had an extra $31.4 million laying around so I could purchase the Paris, Left Bank apartment of Yves Saint Laurent. The killer abode just went on the market and I am sure is worth every penny. (note: the many, many Picasso's are not included)

9 By Design

Because raising just one child in this crazy city called Manhattan is a little overwhelming, it's with great awe and admiration that I watch the hectic, high-style, life of the Novogratz family. Bravo TV's latest voyeur fascination, 9 By Design, is a show about a family of 9 (2 outnumbered adults and 7 adorable kids) who live in NYC, renovate and flip, commercial and residential spaces... some of which they live in. What captures my attention most about the show isn't the fact that they are raising a gaggle of kids (that concept seems all too familiar in reality TV) it's their devil-may-care attitude to design that makes me tune in. True, they have the luxury of big budgets and amazing spaces but there is a lesson for all of us in the way they approach design... use what you love. Buy something that you may not have a place for, you'll find one and your home will be a reflection of you because of it.

As an agent at Sotheby's in New York City part of my job is accessing some pretty fabulous homes. If you've ever strolled down Park, Madison or 5th and gazed up at the stunning facades and wondered what's inside, now's your chance! Let's take a peak inside some of New York City's most desirable homes (currently on the market, if you're looking!)...

This 21,000 square foot, Upper East Side, limestone townhouse can be yours for a mere $75,000,000!

This uptown mansion use to be home to The New York Observer. At 10,000 square feet and a list price of $27,000,000 it's ready to become a home for you!

If you like opulence then welcome home. This $25,000,000 penthouse is just steps from Central Park.

Listed at $9,950,000, this Upper East Side Townhouse was built in 1874, and since no home is complete without an elevator, 5 fireplaces and a wine cellar/grotto, this house delivers on all accounts!

This eight room apartment has views of Central Park, Madison Avenue and beyond. Currently listed at $9,900.00, it's move in ready don't you think!?

Many thanks to “The Style Collective” trio for inviting me as their guest.

Let me share with you what I know best-Real Estate in La Jolla, CA. Over the past 8 years I’ve had the opportunity to be a “nosy looky-loo” in the homes of the wealthy seaside community commonly referred to as “The Jewel”. When I’m not busy pushing paper here in the office, I’m out in the field seeing what the market has to offer.

Here are just a few of my all time favorite listings we’ve had the pleasure of representing here at Cher Conner & Assoc. I feel they are the perfect representation of La Jolla homes.


939 Coast Blvd #17A

Gorgeous custom cabinetry, designer ceilings, handmade wallpaper, custom lighting and top-of-the-line appliances. Loving the floor-to-ceiling windows and the dining room chandelier! Cocktails and cards anyone?

5951 La Jolla Mesa Drive

I’m a sucker for a converted space- This space gets my creative juices flowing. Loving the dark chocolate colored walls.

8070 La Jolla Scenic Drive North-The Ultimate Modern Masterpiece.

Kitchen: Pulp (www.pulpstudio.com) glass slab back-splash with fiber optic lighting behind. Master Bath: Crema sentra slabs with crystal glass tile walls and Lacava freestanding tub and custom wenge cabinets. Pool: Cultural brick chiseled porcelain tile on Jacuzzi water wall at the salt water pool. Chiseled porcelain coping and on the pool “stepping stones” mixed with crema sentra limestone. Cannonball!!

6106 Camino De La Costa

8" poured-in-place concrete construction complemented by teak and a double thick copper roof.Floating staircase of concrete and teak in the rotunda lead to the Oceanside master suite. Fit for a King and Queen.

The grand finale, we aren't allowed to disclose too much information on this house but it's currently the priciest house on the market in La Jolla, the photos speak for themselves...


It's been fun sharing with you. Don't want to overstay my welcome so I am signing off for now!
