The Penthouse of James Bond – Daniel Craig


The latest edition of the James Bond franchise, Skyfall, arrives on American shores today, on a wave of international acclaim.
While the same can't be said for every entry in the series, the men who play Bond have gone on to lives of fame and riches.
The chiseled Daniel Craig is only on his third film in the series but has already amassed a $50M fortune and hasn't been shy about spending it.
The Skyfall star has been coy about a recent Manhattan house hunt with his wife, the actress Rachel Weisz. After checking out several high-priced pads—and even being rumored to have gone into contract on a SoHo penthouse for $11.5M—Craig either decided not to buy a new place in the city, or has done so so exceedingly quietly.
Above is the penthouse bachelor pad in Tribeca that a single Craig bought in 2010 for around $1.9M.

Indoor Garden


Create a garden where you never knew you had room for one:
Ιndoors on a windowsill with eastern or southern exposure.

Start a windowsill garden by taking cuttings from some of your favorite indoor and outdoor plants and rooting them in water. If you like, choose colorful containers and set them on a windowsill for a pretty effect.


Although it doesn't suit every plant, rooting plants in water is the easiest propagation method. Change the water in the containers weekly.
Enjoy the cuttings during the winter months, then transplant them into containers and set them outdoors for the summer.



The following are Great Plants for the Sill

"Angelwing Begonia"

 

"Hoya"
 

"Swedish Ivy"
 

"Wandering Jew"
 

"Purple Passion Plant"
 

"Coleus"
 

"Gardenia"
 

"Air Plants"
