A Beastlie, shotgun shells used in decor, and Darth Vader snowflakes in this week's reader photos
So let's get the week going with a look at what's been going on with photos from the Offbeat Home Flickr pool and things we've pinned via the Offbeat Home Pinterest account.

allaboutevelyn: 'I love our living room at night, with a fire going and the light of the Christmas tree!'

BerettaFleur: 'Shotgun shell Christmas lights! We got the idea from a sporting clays shooting range. It's a great way to repurpose plastic shells you aren't going to/able to reload.'
This is a Beastlie. He is one of many. Click through to read about his cousins and the artist who makes them.

*Mirre*'s Sunday morning coffee.

Kissa: 'I always make paper snowflakes as holiday decorations, but this year I branched out into themes — Star Wars and Batman!'

I looove those shotgun lights, and the Star Wars snowflakes! And the shell bed is crazy… I'd be all over it in a different color, though.
