The Adorable Berea, Ohio Bridge House

I don’t usually say, “Adorable” here that often, but this house is so darn cute. Not a water fan; but I could see living somewhere like this. It’s not only unique and cute, but peaceful looking.

Is there a catch? Yeah. I can’t find any info on this house, other then it’s in Berea, Ohio. I’ve […]

Currently Hopelessly In Love With…. Electro^Plankton

Ok, hopelessly may be pushing it. It’s not like I’m sending them stalker letters or visiting them first thing of the day. That said, I do really, super, very much adore this blog. It’s not an architect blog, more a smattering of stuff - mostly wicked cool stuff.
I don’t know why, but lately I’ve been […]

Fairy Tale Molded Roof

I’m not so sure that the technically name for this is “molded” - I mean it’s not made of Jello. Plus roofing is not an area I know tons about. Still, supposedly, specialty roofers had to boil these shingles in large pots of water and then bend them to fit this roof restoration. That sounds […]

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 Worth Revisiting: The Mushroom House

Back in the old-school Offbeat days Kevin Humphrey covered the The Mushroom House. However, for those of you who don’t spend your days combing the archives this home is worth a look.
I personally love the Mushroom House. Located in Whistler, Canada it was started way back in the 70s. Not only is the Mushroom House […]

The World’s Best Offbeat Gingerbread Homes

Fact: There are far too many amazingly offbeat gingerbread homes. I could never fit them all in one post. Technically that makes this, “Some of the world’s best offbeat gingerbread homes.” Which, sorry; was less catchy as a header.
Fact: You may be thinking, “Has Jennifer gone plum crazy! Gingerbread home making season is a ways […]

Offbeat Homes Is My Favorite Blog: 10 Reasons Why

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.
Is it even fair […]

First up. […]
