Building the Ultimate House Videos

I love this house. Love how it was captured on film. AND I especially love the colors.

You will love it too – but you’ll have to leave me to go see it (copyright, and no time for permission issues.) Yeah, I get impatient. Also, there’s more cool stuff to see at this blog, so it wouldn’t kill you to go look.

See the house!

You can thank me later. Or now if you so choose

Who loves this house?

What’s a girl to do? I think they got me with that darn twilight shot. As noted often, I’m a sucker for twilight; everything just looks better at this time of day. Maybe because it’s fleeting. We don’t get a whole lot of twilight. What do you think? Speech over. Check out the house:

Not that my mind is completely changed about red, but come on, this house is fantastic.

This home is in North Shore, Massachusetts and was designed by Gleysteen Design. This design company has created many a delightful house, and a visit to their site is highly recommended – really now, they made me adore red. You can view more of this specific house easily at Sun Engineering; they designed the complex energy system for this home, and have a nice section explaining that process at their site.

The Only Red Home I’d Consider

Marye, long time Offbeat supporter and friend, just hit her one year anniversary at Baking Delights. All I can afford to get her is some link love. Although, if money was no object, I’d get her this little ditty in Humboldt county. Ferndale to be specific. Ferndale rocks because the entire town is on the historic registry and it’s beautiful. When I lived in Humboldt, I liked living on the beach best, but I visited Ferndale a lot to scare the poor residents by standing outside and staring at their homes.

This Marye-perfect farmhouse is on the market, and if I won the lottery, I’d buy it for her and then make her move there so I could visit.

 It’s a little small for all those kids Mayre’s packing, but still…

 She could totally bake out in this kitchen. And no, not Humboldt style bake outs, I mean cakes and stuff.

 I know she likes stairs! She has some in her current house.

Look at this – you can almost smell the Lost Coast. So much beauty it makes you ache.

If you’d like to look into this beautiful home, or some other fine Humboldt house, visit Humboldt Land Company.

You should now go visit Marye, read about some cookies and pies, and say, “Happy Anniversary!”
