Classic Offbeat Homes: Earth Day 2007

For this week’s Offbeat Classic, I figured I’d hunt down what Adam had going on for Earth Day 2007. I didn’t do anything here special for Earth Day, mainly because I don’t like separating ED into a one day situation. That said, if you read Offbeat regularly, I think you feel ok with the amount […]

Random Classic Offbeat Homes

Today I was thinking, who am I to say which Offbeat Homes posts are the most classic. I like to do one classic post a week, but frankly I tend to dwell on which home I’d like to see again, which ones you’d all love to see again, and so fourth.
That said, I decided to […]

Classic Offbeat Homes: Favorite Posts of Spammers

So, I like Offbeat, you like Offbeat, guess who else likes Offbeat? Spammers! That’s right, we have a ton of spamming friends here at Offbeat Homes, and they all apparently love the same two posts. How do I know, well, each day, I get up and check my email, and each day here they are, […]

Classic Offbeat: Hansel & Gretyl Cottage

Today’s offbeat classic is a bit of a fairytale - I’m not feeling well and a good fairytale is always cheerful. (ok, traditional fairytales were not cheerful, actually kind of bloody and gruesome, but hey, they’ve candy coated the new ones.) A fairytale home though, now, that’s always a good time.
This classic is the Hansel […]

Offbeat Classic: Dracula’s Castle

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 […]

Extreme Classic Offbeat Homes: Hillside Living

This week’s addition of Classic Offbeat is extreme, as in extremely classic. Way back, during the very first week of Offbeat, Kevin featured this dream of a building.

Living within a hill is major extreme. Kevin’s classic post about this hillside housing development in Liuzhou, China, is well worth checking out. More spec and photo links […]

Classic Offbeat Homes: “You’ll shoot your eye out!” (plus gingerbread!)

Talk about an action packed title, huh.
A year ago Offbeat Homes featured the fully restored version of the house where it all went down; crazy lamps, decoders, and of course the infamous Red Ryder BB Gun.
The Christmas Story is a slice of holiday cheer in my mind so this post deserves a second Christmas look. […]

Classic Offbeat Homes: Holiday Lights

I don’t know if I’m impressed with the folks who did this or simply in awe that anyone could have this much free time.
This classic Offbeat holiday gem is so fly that I won’t even make you click back to the original post — I’ll just re-post it right here.
Enjoy.

Way fun, huh?

Classic Offbeat: Patrick Blanc’s Vertical Gardens

This classic Offbeat post comes from one year ago this December. Oddly enough “Vertical Garden” is one of the most searched terms for this blog. I find that a little amusing; you don’t think there’d be that many people out there looking for this.
Still, the fact that so many people want a vertical garden makes […]
