Reader roundup: Let’s have a virtual backyard party this Fourth of July
Yup, it’s summer in the Northern hemisphere and that means we’re getting a flood of amazing backyard photos in our Offbeat Home Flickr pool. And since it’s the Fourth of July in America and we’re all hopefully enjoying the outdoors while we celebrate our Independence Day. Let’s celebrate YOUR outdoors by having a virtual backyard party via all your awesome Flickr pics…
Reader Round-up: Batdogs, city pigs, gallery walls, and cross-stitch charms
Once again, I loved getting peeks into the lives of my wonderful Homies from your Offbeat Home Flickr pool submissions. I got lessons in how to calm a “batdog,” got to peep a glorious gallery wall, and had my mind blown by a tiny cross-stitched charm. Ooh, I share with you yet another weekend adventure. This time, you’ll NEVER guess the animal I helped my friend adopt.
Reader Round-up: Puppies, tentacles, home decor, and LA picnics
Remember Offbeat Home’s reader round-ups? I’m bringing it back y’all! We finally have enough Homies submitting enough pics to our Offbeat Home Flickr pool to do more round-ups now and then. Included in this round-up we have a good idea to help change your eating habits, a kitchen moment that makes me particularly happy, more bathroom tentacles, and a peak into how I spent this past weekend…
Homie holiday decor: A peek into your homes
I put out the call for our Homies to send us their holiday decorations. Damnit, I want to see how y’all offbeat the holidays. And WOW did I get some amazing peeks into your homes. We’ve got alien-head tree-toppers, Mid-century Christmanukkah decor, beer ornaments, and trees that are both sideways AND upside down!
Monday Moment: A happy bathroom corner
My shower curtain makes me happy every morning. Then I found this little dish from Turkey (I use it for soap) for 50 cents at a thrift shop, and it accidentally coordinates.
Monday Moment: the bright green piano version
Holy crap, check out andibob909’s refinished bright-as-fuck green piano in the living room! More than just the gorgeous, eye-catching upright piano, I love this whole living room set up…
Monday Moment: An ever-changing artistic display (with sexy imagary bonus)
Longtime Homie Vacantmuse sent her artsy shelf moment our way. I love her idea of making space for an ever-changing art display. Could this be the first Monday Moment “great idea of the day” combo!? I think so.
Monday Moment: Happy chalkboard-y fridge with skulls on top
Janelle’s skull and erasable chalkboard fridge makes her smile every day and brightens up her otherwise very grumpy/groggy mornings. I dig the Tardis drawing.
