We don’t see many animal posts here. I’m not a big pet fan, and frankly, there are not too many animal homes. However, we have seen a smattering of pretty cool pet abodes and this is the focus of our classic Offbeat post this week.
My favorite pet home post here ever was: Sustainable Homes for […]

Who remembers Jantzen? In case you forgot, we visited his work here a while back. Here’s a refresher:
A Dreamy Mixture of Art & Architecture
Human Shelter: Air, Water, & Earth
I’m bringing this up because, I just saw that G Living’s design section has a cool post up about Jantzen; Architect Michael Jantzen Replacing Smoke Stacks With […]

Mad Cropper: Valentine’s Day card ideas. Just what you need (only two weeks left).
Marriage Actually: Trying to […]

Sol Fest XII is happening real soon; as in three days from now (August 18-19). I meant to plug it sooner — but darn it, I’m not going this year so I forgot.
Sol Fest is amazing. If you live close to the Solar Living Institute in Hopland, California or if you’re up for a quick-like […]

Or so that’s what I hear. Heard, to be exact, last night on the Red, Hot, & Green special on HGTV. I’d like to take this moment to point out that I did list this show as an “Offbeat Hot” last week. Turns out I was right. This show was very cool.
