Happy December! Hope everyone’s having a good kick off to what will be a busy month for many of us. Where I live we were supposed to get snow this morning. I’m in Southwest Washington and didn’t believe the rumors and so far I’m right. Good news for me because I’m not the biggest snow […]

I love Dick & Jane’s house; talk about an offbeat beauty. However, first let me digress because I owe some props.
I was surfing about and where I first saw Dick & Jane’s house is a blog called Mid Beacon Hill. Now this is a blog worth mentioning and believe me, I see many blogs. This […]

So, you’ve got your offbeat dream home… Now, what to do about filling your abode with offbeat art. You could go with plain old offbeat art pieces — there’s plenty around. Or you could go extreme and invest in some real eye candy.

This will be our last feature post with SALA Architects. Tomorrow we’re moving on. So far we’ve seen the very nice Freeman House, the unique Lake Superior Tower Retreat, and the breath taking Johnson Residence.
Whew. Last up I think I’d like to share…

To be honest, I’m not even sure if Luna Parc is in the Offbeat archives or not. I didn’t bother to look because anything this odd can absolutely be shown here more than once. Not to mention that there have been some changes this autumn.
There’s almost nothing you can say other than this is one […]

To be honest I don’t know anything about this other than it rocks. I’ve failed to turn up any info on it but man, talk about an offbeat home for the traveling set.

This basket making company, The Longaberger Company decided back in the day to make their home base office their best advertisement. I’d say it’s a pretty powerful message about how much they adore their product.
Outstanding Features

Just look at what ultra cool (and thrifty) Deb sent me…. Not a bad Saturday morning present! There’s not much to say because the pictures really do all the work here but it was noted that this home was built by the government as merely an attention draw to the area. A publicity house if […]

These pieces, or installations if you will, by Erwin Wurm aren’t a total blast from the far past but they sure as heck aren’t current news. They are however new to Offbeat. I was combing the archives recently and realized, “Where are the Wurm homes?” I can’t find them; thus they must be added.

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:
