Who Said Water Tanks Were Boring?

Do you remember this cool house?

I posted about this house, the Gilmore Trail House, a while back. Well, Mark Fejes, the fellow who designed and built the home contacted me with an update about it plus some photos. Neat, because if you remember, I noted that I wanted to learn more about it, and […]

Seamless Unique Kitchen

Sorry no post yesterday - WordPress tag upgrades were taking a bit of time.
Today I have a kitchen first off. A kitchen sounds dull but this kitchen is so sleek. Really unique.  I’ve been in love with this Gorenje kitchen by French designer Ora-Ïto, since I first saw it at Gizmodo. They likened it to […]

Warp Your Offbeat Walls

Offbeat has done warped homes and funky wallpaper — but never both together. I suppose there comes a time for everything.
Surrealien makes warped wall coverings that are so weird; it’s hard for me to imagine you’d honestly have them in a home but they might make a great addition to a club, bar, or wacky […]

Offbeat Christmas Trees for Offbeat Homes

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.

Best of the Offbeat Internet

I read a lot of cool architect blogs and offbeat design sites. It would be nice to have all the amazing structures I see gathered somewhere once in a while. So, I figured I’d post the best stuff I’ve seen all week. You can click on the photo and head over to visit and learn […]

Sit, Visit, Have Some Tea

People don’t go visiting so much nowadays. At the risk of sounding 80 years old, when I was a kid we went a visiting the neighbors. Often even. People had their neighbors over, they had tea (or even better coffee), talked, threw burnt orange Tupperware parties, and made colored popcorn balls. Or, was that just […]

Top Design: Finale (added coverage)

Boy do I look small time, compared to the coverage at d*s (design*sponge). They were invited to the Top Design Season (Show) Finale party. She shares some behind the scenes dirt and finds out that Todd Oldham is also familiar with the d*s blog! Whoa!
