OMG!!!

Don’t you hate it when people say things like, “OMG!!!” Obnoxious, no? I think so too. However, this house warrants a major OMG!!!

I guess this is a few years old, but it’s still sooooo worth seeing. It’s an art creation - a farmhouse turned human sized dollhouse. Amazing. I love dollhouses, especially odd ones, so […]

VW Beetle Inspired Home

A while back, my pal Deb sent me a cool slideshow of random funky architecture. I’d seen most of the structures before, but among them was one neat house I’ve never seen (yay!). Take a look:

Somehow I don’t think my son, my records, and I would all fit in there. Still, this is pretty neat-o. […]

Camouflaged Homes

This first one is sure not very hidden. Still, there’s no denying that it’s camouflaged.

Personally I like that tree camouflage house that was sweeping the web last year, the one on every architect and design site known to man. I never showed it here, mainly because it was everywhere -overkill. That said, it’s […]

How would you like to live in this vegetable?

I know it’s always been my lifelong dream to live in an onion - what about you?

See more kooky homes at Funny Real Estate Photos at eBestAgent (lots of funny stuff).

Cool Computer House & One Really Ugly House

I was browsing and found this cool site, Weird Cosmos. They have lots of neat (and strange) photos. They have a house section and while I’ve seen many of the house pictures before, they had some new-to-me photos too. Like the two following.
Computer house: Look close, at first I almost missed it.

That is pretty original.
And […]
