The Piano House
Just look at what ultra cool (and thrifty) Deb sent me…. Not a bad Saturday morning present! There’s not much to say because the pictures really do all the work here but it was noted that this home was built by the government as merely an attention draw to the area. A publicity house if you will.
There’s a staircase in the guitar that leads to the main house.
I think Elton John will be placing an order soon.
Thanks to Deb for the heads up!

Huh? You’re doing it again — confusing me. Is Jolly Green a nickname for Elton John or are we talking about the veggie giant?

I saw it while using Stumble Upon and immediately thought of you. It’s a very cool house, but to be honest, I wouldn’t I want to wash those windows!

It is a cool house BUT I agree about the windows. That guitar would be even more of a pain to wash. I’m not sure how one would even do it. Also, I think it would be neat if when you pressed the keys it made music!

Auna - you know you might be right. See why I don’t write blogs about instruments. Because I am musically challenged.
