Yesterday we had a guest post. If you follow this blog, you’ll know that I don’t have many guest posts here. In fact, I think we’ve had just two in the last year and a half, and they were super good blogger pals of mine. I’m picky when it comes to Offbeat.
That said, I was recently offered a guest post from the bloggers over at the newer, but cool ChicTip.com. I like the blog, I like the bloggers, and I like when good new design blogs emerge, hence, a guest post from them. Also, I like their about page, which …read more

I could start the day by whining about HP customer service (because they are royally p@#%ing me off this morning) however, it might be more fun to look at a cool new blog; don’t you agree?

I haven’t given any link love in ages. What’s so fly you won’t want to miss it; well…
Munetsugu Hall is so slick, you will faint. I love this concert hall, and you will too. Via The Cool Hunter – Architecture.
MoCo Loco has a wonderful link, Arkitektfirmaet C. F. Møller’s Summerhouse in Kandestederne, which I guess would make this double the link love. Seriously though, the Summerhouse is breathtaking.
Modern Sky Hill Townhomes in Atlanta are showcased at Jetson Green. I’m not a townhouse fan exactly, but I like how these look – unique and green. Here’s a taste:

If you’ve been reading Offbeat Homes for any decent amount of time, you’ll note that I have many favorite architect and design blogs. I tend to talk about and link to my faves pretty incessantly. One such blog is Inhabitat. I’ve been a huge fan of Inhabitat for a long time, and I know some of you are as well.
Well the news is that they’ve just launched a brand new blog! and there’s more…

Hands down, no contest, this little house is so darn pretty. If I sat around all day thinking up dream exteriors, this would come close to perfect.

What do you think? So darn cute, no? I love it. It was so smoothly done too. I’ve seen some pretty cool designs on houses, but not as slick as this.
This is via Treehugger – Cob Building – Go Ahead, Call It a Comeback. There are no other pics of this delightful home, which usually means I wouldn’t have shown it here. However, in this case, I’m in deep admiration, so I’m showing it …read more

Tonight some leftover but still pretty fresh links. Weeks ago I started a link love post, and realized that I had too many links, so I set a few aside for another time. Then I promptly forgot all about said links. Going through my bookmarks today, and guess what I found? The links. These are some links I adore, that should have been shown off sooner. Way sooner. Ah well.
Pacific Northwest Regional Architecture – this is a killer link if you happen to love PNW homes and designs. I spent a lot of time here looking around. They have some …read more

The Lifestyles Channel had a promo this week – A Window With a View. I took a little promo break. Last months promo kicked my butt work-wise, and so I did not participate in this posting event. However, I think you might like what everyone else around the channel did, so take a peek…
