After all, the high-powered Hollywood transplants—he’s from Iowa; she was born in Ukraine—dug a well on the property to irrigate the land, planted (and harvested) a field of corn during the COVID lockdown, and dubbed the place KuKu Farms. But while Jed, Granny, and the rest of the Clampetts embraced a far more traditional take on Beverly Hills splendor—the sprawling French Neoclassical mansion pictured in the series credits was designed by architect Sumner Spaulding in the early 1930s and renovated by the legendary designer Henri Samuel in the 1980s—Kutcher and Kunis approached their passion project from a decidedly more modest perspective.

Reasons Why a Professional Installation Is The Best Way to Get the Home Theater Experience of Your Dreams 

Going to the theater is the quintessential date night. Or even a night out with your best pals. But heading to the movies has been problematic lately, and more and more of us are leaning into all that streaming services have to offer us in our Beverly Hills homes. Now that many streaming services are releasing theater released movies within weeks, or even at the same time, as they hit California theaters, we can enjoy that film we’ve been waiting for right from the comfort of our own homes. And with a professionally installed private cinema, you not only can watch it at the same time but with the same theater quality.  

Ringing in the new year this year seemed more exciting than ever. Most of us are anxious for a fresh start and have high hopes that this year will be better. While you might have made a list of goals you want to accomplish and have already started using that new gym membership, make sure to take the time to relax and have fun. Whether it's hiking or catching up with friends or reading a book, or watching a good movie, you should carve out time in your life to enjoy it. And one great way to do that is by upgrading your home theater design.
