Prettiest. Cob. House. Ever.

Hands down, no contest, this little house is so darn pretty. If I sat around all day thinking up dream exteriors, this would come close to perfect.

What do you think? So darn cute, no? I love it. It was so smoothly done too. I’ve seen some pretty cool designs on houses, but not as slick [...]

OMG!!!

Don’t you hate it when people say things like, “OMG!!!” Obnoxious, no? I think so too. However, this house warrants a major OMG!!!

I guess this is a few years old, but it’s still sooooo worth seeing. It’s an art creation - a farmhouse turned human sized dollhouse. Amazing. I love dollhouses, especially odd ones, so [...]

Library Lust

I was that kid who would hit the library on a Saturday, walk out with a stack of books (and by stack I mean as many as they’d let me have - usually 20+), and be ready to head back by mid-week. I’ve always read a lot, read fast, and loved the library. Imagine my [...]

How scared would you be…

To sit on this couch?

I’ll tell you one thing, if you have kids, a couch like this is a BAD IDEA. Although, it’s pretty cool looking. Imagine if you filled those bottles with colored water. Neat.
The Cabernet Couch design is from the Carlo Rossi collection. There are tons of other cool pieces in the collection [...]

Famous house you’d like to visit

I visited the Dead house on Height in San Francisco, which was pretty cool, but after that famous abode, I’d probably like to visit this house:
