Spotted inside the men’s clothing store Atlas. I tried to go in but unfortunately it was “clothed”.

This four bed, two and a half bath home in the Rancho Pariaso neighborhood of Walnut Creek was snapped up after a week on the market for almost $100,000 less than the list price. The lucky buyers get sweeping views of Walnut Creek, a chefs kitchen and a fantastic backyard with a pebble-tek pool. Just in time for summer!

Friday, May 20th – Saturday, June 25th, 2016This Tony Award-nominated Broadway musical takes you back to the times of big bands, with big egos, playing big guitar solos and sporting even bigger hair!
Featuring the hits of bands including Journey, Night Ranger, REO Speedwagon, Pat Benatar, Twisted Sister and others.
Advisory: Rock of Ages is a hilarious, goofy, exuberant sendup of the 80s rock scene, so it has some of the behavior and references of that era and that scene – There are f-bombs, there is casual drug use, scantily clad women, pole dancing, and some vigorously and ridiculously enacted sexual innuendo – all of which is comic and gleefully immature. The dancing is highly suggestive but nothing you don’t see on MTV (or on the Superbowl halftime show!). I think the best description might be it has a raunchy side. Playfully raunchy but definitely raunchy.Many rate it PG -13, but for some it may be rated M for Mature. I rate it PG-16.
Pizza is becoming popular in Walnut Creek these days with Pizza My Heart and Slice House opening soon in downtown and Mod Pizza will be opening a new location in the new Orchards shopping center anchored by Safeway (across the street from Encina Grande). Check out their menu here.
Every year the Lafayette Juniors offer a kitchen tour featuring several magnificent kitchens and homes in Lafayette to raise money for several non profit organizations and this year the beneficiaries are: Youth Homes, Diablo Ballet’s PEEK Outreach Program, the Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano, and Lamorinda Spirit Van. Find out more about these organizations here.
This Happy Valley kitchen and home has been featured in photo shoots for catalogs and local designers and has a serene, peaceful feel throughout. One of my favorite pieces is the lighting over the dining room table (see below). How cool is that?! As you can see in the photos after the jump, the kitchen boasts two full-sized sinks in the kitchen and plenty of counter space for prepping meals. Right outside is a beautiful looking pool and patio area surrounded by lush gardens which looks like the perfect place to relax and hang out with friends and family!
From the Lafayette Juniors description:
The updated classic home boasts a light, airy and open space that serves as a backdrop for many photo shoots for catalogs and local designers. As is appropriate to the transitional style of the home, the homeowner has mixed modern and traditional by using reclaimed wood floors, stainless steel materials, and industrial lighting. The tasteful kitchen features two honed Calacatta marble countertops, one with a prep sink and wine fridge. Three elegant pendant lights illuminate the center island and echo the nickel faucets. The dining area offers views of the pool and well-tended garden that boasts white flowers throughout. Thoughtful details are evident in all areas of the home and kitchen, including the kitchen millwork and the coordinating fridge and oven handles. The homeowner created a serene space where friends and family are encouraged to unwind.
