Offbeat Home wants YOU to find an unloved place in your house and make it awesome. Here are the deets.
Cat & Scott live in a mid-century brick project haus
I’ve got a vintage vanity, bar cabinet and dining room table, lots of books, some art, and that’s about it. What can I say?

And there are at least two photos featuring a cat.

Becca & Adam’s folk art-heavy rock pad
Offbeat intern Becca is our first Home Tour featuree — she lives with her husband and sister in a rock ‘n’ roll flat nestled in an amazingly diverse neighborhood in Queens. My favorite part? The nudie pics in the bathroom.
A bright blue polar bear room for an almost-teen
An interior designer mom and her quirky 10-year-old designed a vintage-inspired bright blue bedroom around a polar bear print. Huzzah!
