Never too early to get started on that new fence, but this will only keep out the most polite solicitors. Sure the small chunk of fence is funny, but what more could you expect from the same person who has managed to run the rainwater downspout from his gutter to the neighbor’s house.
Considering this was spotted on the internet, I’m a little surprised that this wasn’t a chocolate fountain constructed from inflatable pools. Still, I’m not sure if this would be classified as ‘shabby chic’ or ‘temporary classiness’.
Looks like someone’s really gonna earn that “Father of the year” coffee mug this year.
How did they do this?!? Simple.. well not really simple due to the expansive background of mushroom kingdom rolling hills and clouds mural. That might take some practice I’m thinking. But if you can find someone who can do this well, then leave it to Blik to fill in the characters from this scene with movable wall decals.
For 75$ you can get these details from Blik – here.
I’m not feeling very confident about my ability to paint a beautiful background mural, so I’d opt of Blik’s Asteroids instead..
For a little north of 400$ US, you too can have the classiest item of geeky self-adoration you may have ever come across. I know I want one, and I know where I’m gonna put it… Right above my desk upon which rests a statue that tilts back to reveal the switch to my secret passageway.
This is quite possibly, my favorite real estate listing…ever. For now that is. After drawing nearly a half million views on youtube, odds are pretty good these agents got their message across to at least several interested parties. In the past, traditional advertising has been sufficient to draw buyer interest. But today, in our globalized, connected reality, a viral video such as this spreads itself as traditional advertisements cannot. That is, this video, once completed would provide it’s own reach as opposed to more billboards = more money.
But how well produced is this Bruckheimer-esque production anyhow? The flaws are so subtle, that you likely won’t even notice them. In the shot above, it’s clear that this property is without air conditioning. Look at that poor lass, even with the window open, she’s obviously sweating bullets in what would be a sweltering summer this time of year down under. Those partially open louvered windows? They do nothing!
And this shot of what might seem to be the front of the house. I’m not sure if this would actually be front of the house, since I’d find it more preferable to approach from the dockside, roaring up on my mini-yacht. I’ve seen the vid, and the SWAT team agrees. But without the Ferrari California, this is a very ‘blah’ perspective. Sure it’s a modern contemporary home, but what’s going on with the crown moulding sprouting out of the roof? And why’s the sports car left outside anyhow? This can only be explained I imagine, by the current owner being hoarders with their garage full of newspapers and old calendars.
Honestly, as a red-blooded male, my interest was raised with one sweaty hottie tied up to a chair…. but wait! There’s more! Look at these two hot blondes, and look at them well, and only look at them, because if not, you might just notice the neighbors homes in the background. The neighbors, with their custom homes desired only the finest shoreline island living with all the presentation of an industrial park warehouse. Had it been me, I’d have hired an entire NFL cheerleader squad and blocked the neighbors out entirely. With no season next year, they’d have been thrilled with the work I bet.
Here’s the video, in case you haven’t seen it. I really hope this works out successfully for these guys, and we see some sequels.
Two years ago, we came across the ‘Doc’, a couch which transformed into bunk beds – Link.
Resource Furniture, a NYC store has brought the ‘Doc’ and many other transformative pieces of furniture here to the U.S. Some of the pieces seem to be much more than traditional murphy beds. Instead of simplified hideaway beds, many of their pieces are transformed into couches, seating, desks…
Oh sure, this seems perfect for small, cramped, new york city apartments. But is it worthwhile for the average suburban home? Depends on the way you use your space I suppose. Maybe you have a den or office which would be better suited as a guest bedroom around the holidays. Certainly, you can pop up an aerobed in a few minutes, and wedge out a little space amongst the clutter, or plan your space around a permanent guest bed, taking up precious floor space like the giant elephant in the room it is. Or you can have both, I suppose.
Check out the space saving furniture, as well as other “non-transforming” pieces at their website – Link
Although, technically, flipping a mattress is kind of like transforming.
I need to call in a price this “Ares” desk set they have.
