I’ve been spending a lot of time looking over the archives of Faces in Places, a stupendous blog. As you might imagine this blog searches out the weird of the weird when it comes to faces in, well, places you don’t expect. I love the idea and double love (as my boy would say) the […]

You may remember Swamplot from the famed wood paneling house. Well, they recently sent me another gem of a structure - this one loaded to the brim; with bathrooms!
Look at this, it’s unbelievable.
See all the red arrows - those are flippin’ bathrooms. There’s only four bedrooms! What could you possibly need with nine-and-a-half bathrooms - […]

If Linette from Mother Earth’s Garden, is trying to get me to waste all my time, she’s a pro. She recently sent me a cool photo of this awesome teepee house.
So of course I get all obsessive (this is a slick home) and proceed to surf through tons and tons of this guy’s flickr pages […]

The other day when I showed the zeroHouse I mentioned that I like other designs from Specht Harpman better. First off I should say that any architect firm who has a structure category entitled, “Impractical” is worth a good look.
The most interesting impractical item to see is Specht Harpman’s Psychoplex; which is as odd as […]

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. […]

If you have super speed shipping some of these could even technically pan out as holiday gifts. Honestly, I wanted to do a huge gift post earlier but just wasn’t feeling it. This is the abbreviated version.
How To See
This book is a gem. It looks like something only a select few might enjoy; but really […]

If you celebrate Christmas I sure hope you haven’t gotten your Christmas tree yet. I’d hate for you to feel badly when you realize what you could have had.
Mod and shiny stainless steel tree…
Upside down corner tree — seriously, this is not an upside down photo.
Who the heck can drink this much soda?
Stray Dog […]

I’m so there.
I’m not the biggest tea fan but coffee is another story altogether. Not to mention that one of my favorite people is writing this blog. Marye from Baking Delights is rounding out her already useful scone, cookie, and other fine baking recipes with beverages that warm the soul at the new Kettle & […]
