Dracula’s castle is actually not Dracula’s castle. This Offbeat classic post, Dracula’s Castle Given Back, explains why. Still, if you like the scary stuff Bran Castle is actually an interesting visit.
It’s being touted still as home to Prince Vlad the Impaler - inspiration for Bram Stoker’s Count Dracula character, and remains one of the more [...]
For once I am speechless.
Wow.
I do have to link to my friend Crabby here though. Mainly, because I can’t believe someone made a house out of her crabby form (plus her blog rocks). No, it really does; her tag line, “Because most health and fitness advice is too damn cheerful,” alone should make you want [...]
So, on a good day, I bet I could pull this off:
That’s a big maybe though - I’m not so talented with wet sand.
Team Sandtastic, on the other hand, is incredibly talented with sand. They build sculptures from table-top size to over 200 tons. Insane. They work with some huge names too, but mostly I [...]
Sorry no post yesterday - WordPress tag upgrades were taking a bit of time.
Today I have a kitchen first off. A kitchen sounds dull but this kitchen is so sleek. Really unique. I’ve been in love with this Gorenje kitchen by French designer Ora-Ïto, since I first saw it at Gizmodo. They likened it to [...]
In case you missed it; this week at Offbeat we had some delightful posts about…
A brand new documentary about sustainable building.
The upcoming release of the Earthship Coffee Table Book.
Earthship design.
Mushroom Houses
A hip zig-zag studio.
Indoor stars!
Carmel’s Fairytale Style Cottages
And boys who take nice architecture pictures while barhopping.
It was a great week. I highly suggest [...]
Lately I’ve been a tad obsessive over Ingo Maurer. Maurer is a lighting genius; taking light and form to an entirely new artistic level.
I’m familiar with some of his work - like the popular Porca Miseria (a white European porcelain piece made with silverware and metal). It’s hard to see in the photo below, but [...]
So, I was looking up another house when I came across this.
You have to admit, this is a pretty slick house. Sure the colors are blah, but the shape is divine. On the downside, I can’t tell you anything other than it’s in Clear Lake, IA. Why? Well, because two fellows on a booze trip [...]
Perfect place to live if you happen to be a princess gnome or a wee elf.
See more beauties here. Or here!

Recently I was contacted by one Rip Read, or, “The Startist” if you will. His work is unique, lovely, and glittering. Read creates custom StarMurals - each one a 100% original piece for commercial buildings, residences, and other structures.
StarMurals are Read’s 5-D works of art that replicate the nighttime sky. And by replicate, I mean [...]
Ryan Thewes is a newer name on the design scene having recently set up his own practice in Nashville. I doubt he’ll stay a newer name for long though. His background, even just as a student of design, is already impressive. He’s been lucky enough to study and work with some amazing architects such as [...]
