So, I don’t know if I mentioned this earlier today (geez, short term memory), but my modem broke three days ago. What a hassle. I’m happy it’s behind me, I’m thrilled to be back online, and to celebrate that, let’s look at two tech based Offbeat classics.
Here’s a cool computer house. I really liked this [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Offbeat Homes has been included in 50 Must Read Blogs and Resources for Architecture Majors. Which is pretty cool, but besides that, this post is a nice way to find some new reads. If you’re looking to fill in your blogroll, happen to be an architect student, are bored with your current housing reads, or [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Sadly, if I ate this much ice cream, my thighs would cry tears of sorrow. Still it’s a spot on summer structure.

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:
It’s kind of funky and although red, it’s still cool because someone great lived there. Do you know who used to call this house home?
