Is Offbeat Homes really my favorite blog?
As in blogs I write; not read because that would be a whole other discussion. I think about this a lot because most professional bloggers I know do have more than one blog. I think that there are some pros and cons to playing favorites.

Starting us off, a modern home, in California. Serene and surprisingly private, It also happens to be owned by MooreKutcher [via Curbed LA] (hehehe….sorry didn’t mean to, didn’t notice until I re-read the post).

Actor and environmentalist Dennis Weaver passed on last Friday at the age of 81. While perhaps more well known for his acting and environmental work over the years, Dennis also spent a good portion of life living in a really cool home that he helped design and build himself. A honking 10,000 square […]
If you read my previous post, you’ll know that I have a fetish for unusual homes. I can actually remember the first time an unusual home blew me away. It was either grade 6 or 7, and we had to read Tolkien’s The Hobbit. From the very first lines, I was enthralled […]
No kidding! It’s really the Simpson’s House. In 1997, Fox Broadcasting and Pepsi-Cola held a contest to win a full-scale replica of the Simpsons house, just like in the cartoon series.
The home was located in Henderson, Nevada, on Red Bark Lane in the Springfield Community South Valley Ranch. The community was named after […]
