Yeah right! I think thats something a wife is supposed to be priviledged enough to do. I sure wouldnt want to step on Alice's toes!
Oh....and heck....face it! If after all these years I havent been hired to be on Nic's staff to run his fan site, something tells me the decorating job wouldn't be offered to me either! Nor the wife job!!!! LOL!

True! Very true! Somehow I think Midford Castle could be made into a home. I know I'd be quite at peace there. I think I'd renovate the old chapel first....fill it with amazing stained glass windows and such so I could feel like I was in my very own kalidescope!

I agree... A house this big will never feel "cozy" enough for me... But having said that... How beautiful it is... Itīs a pity they renovated the original house, cause I liked it even better...
Gorgeous, eh? Thing is.....I can't ever envision a house this big being a 'home'. Not unless it's filled with kids! And even then......I would think it would have a vibe of 'hands off' to the kids which then......again......isnt a 'home' if ya know what I mean!

here's a pic of the staircase in the Bel Air home. Somehow I could always envision a bride walking down those stairs and being greeted by her groom at the bottom.....

What a gorgeous home. After seeing it on the Barara Walter's special back in 2001/2002, I thought to myself how incredible the staircase would be as a setting for a wedding.....Anyhooo.....From...
Nicolas Cage re-lists his 11,817-square-foot mansion in Los Angeles Bel-Air area for $29.999M
Actor Nicolas Cage he of the many houses on multiple continents has placed his nine-bedroom, English manor-style mansion in Los Angeles Bel-Air area back on the market for a reduced asking price of $29,999,000 after it had been on the market last year for $35,000,000.
In a Big Time Listings exclusive, we can report on Cages new asking price for the 11,817-square-foot mansion, which was built in 1940 and which has nine baths, high ceilings, a theater, a custom wine cellar, a game room, an Olympic-sized pool and a circular driveway with a fountain, according to public records and listing information. The mansion sits on almost exactly one acre (a 43,116-square-foot lot, to be precise), according to public records.
The mansion came back on the market on September 3.
Cage (shown here with wife Alice Cage) had pulled the house from the market last December, as we had noted on December 29, 2007.
The mansion has an amazing celebrity pedigree, having been owned from 1974 until 1998 by crooner Tom Jones, who sold it to Cage in March 98 for $6,469,000, according to public records (and not the around $7 million amount that we have incorrectly used in previous posts). Prior to that, the mansion had been owned by Dean Martin.
