Today’s offbeat holiday gift suggestion is not a real king mind you but an ultra wacky shelving unit perfect for the offbeat home owner — or anyone who fancies oddball storage solutions.

Oddly the explanation of this home says that there is a “blue spiral shaped shower room on the first floor.” Which begs the question; was this picture taken from the inside or outside of the home? Is the “blue spiral” that thing …read more
