The Massive Treehouse

Sometimes homes slip right under my radar. Sometimes they simply are a little older so I just missed them while I was doing other, non-home related things in my life.
In any case I recently came across a really nice treehouse; maybe one of the bigger (non-fantasy) tree homes I’ve seen. Built by Peter Lewis, […]

Extreme Pumpkin Carving

There aren’t that many days left until Halloween so in continuing with the theme of spooky homes today we have The Phantom Manor! The Phantom Manor is the official name of the Haunted Mansion attraction at Disneyland Paris and one fellow named Ray Keim took nine hours and recreated it with cookie dough.
I love […]

Still Halloween fails to be complete without actual pumpkin architecture; better known as pumpkin carving. I can’t show just any old boring pumpkins at Offbeat so here are some of the most offbeat carvings I’ve seen this […]

Jack-O-Lantern Homes

With Halloween quickly approaching it’s time to get your pumpkin game on. Now you could do a simple jack-o-lantern home like this:

But while neat and a great offbeat home idea you won’t be wowing the pants off anyone with this baby. What you need is something with a bit more punch.

We haven’t had an offbeat furniture post in a while (which are a fun break) plus I’ve got a backlog of houses; each better than the last and I’m torn over which to show first so… chairs it is. And just in time I might add. With the holidays coming where exactly are you going […]
