I write for a living so me and my six year old son Cedar can hang out but does that impress Cedar. In a word, no.
He could care less what I do but he loves Offbeat, he likes the houses and the furniture; he really wants an extravagant treehouse I can’t possible afford.
Him and I [...]

In the form of a hip Theobromine Molecule T-shirt!
Oh yeah.
That’s right, one of my girls in the Home & Dining channel is holding a fly chocolate contest. All you have to do to enter is find a wacky chocolate something and tell Heather about it at her delicious blog Chocolate Bytes.

I’ve been putting off this post because I’m slightly upset that my boy sparkle Josh was eliminated from this Sunday’s HGTV Design Star challenge. As previously mentioned Josh Johnson is the Offbeat official choice for the next HGTV Design Star.
Notice I said “is.” The elimination doesn’t change Offbeat’s decision — our new stance is that [...]

Holy! I almost forgot to remind everyone to watch the HGTV Design Star challenge!
Sorry I was so late. I forget that just because I’m on the west coast there are lots of east coast readers.
Now remember we want Josh to win. If you like Offbeat Homes then it would be nice if you support Josh [...]

Have I ever actually shown pictures of the house I helped to build? I don’t think I have. It’s the weekend so I’m going to take an offbeat detour and talk about me. The house I co-built is not in fact, that offbeat. However, being that I am the so named offbeat homes blogger I’m [...]

Sort of plane.

First off; I honestly like to keep it positive around here. Easy to do [...]

Sol Fest is amazing. If you live close to the Solar Living Institute in Hopland, California or if you’re up for a quick-like [...]
