I want to live in this house

dream house

I posted a picture of the inside of this house a while ago, and just recently stumbled across a picture of the outside as well. What a cool house!


The pictures are from a 70's book called Handmade Houses: A Guide to the Woodbutcher's Art.

tree house nostalgia

All the tree houses my brother and I built as children are starting to come apart, and we hadn't even finished a third of what we had planned for it! We worked on connecting the tree houses into one, big building. It would be a fortress, and was going to have high fences, or walls around it. If you look at the bottom of the photo, you can see the bridge that was going to be the only entrance to the fortress. It has hinges, and can be pulled up with a rope.


What a shame that it's all falling apart before it's finished!

things I saw in Italy

I would love to live in this house, I'd sit in the glass bit at the top and drink tea while making beaded jewellery:

I bet these two people sit in the window all day and look at the going-ons in the street. Click the picture if you want to see how grumpy the person to the left is:

Kitty LOVES being taken for long walks on the beach in her leash. Seriously. Kitty LOVES it:

The rats in Turin are massive, I saw several in the flood at night and I'm not exaggerating when I say they're the size of small dogs.
I was told the rats normally run off when they see people, but I managed to charm them by baby-talking at them in a gentle mellow voice so they 'd feel safe. They're probably more used to being thrown rocks at than being talked to in a mellow voice, so they kept looking at me curiously. I love how cute this rat looks with it's little mouth open:
Om nom nom.. it was looking at me while it was eating:


I'm impressed by how old these doorbells look, and by how randomly they've been put up on the wall. I like stuff that makes me feel like I'm time travelling:


This vegetable garden must be looked after by a kindred soul:

little pink houses

ghost asylum

I wish I could spend a day looking through this building.

ich bin ein berliner!!

ach helga!! ho ho. berlin is great!! i'm enjoying some of the cheap, tasty beer as i write this blog entry.

the best thing i've seen so far in berlin, has been a house in no man's land. no man's land was a part of the city that was not occupied by either east or west. soo nobody really owned it or had any control over it.

aahh a freak's heaven! so. a freak with creative, alternative thoughts in his head built a house on a part of no man's land while the city was still divided. when the wall came down, nobody could do anything about it.

i've seen this house, and it was amazing. it was something like what my younger brother and i would build when we were younger and into the tree house business. total anarchy! and the best part was that it was totally surrounded by streets and proper houses. it was not hidden away in the back yard of anything, it was in the middle of a street.

i didn't get any pictures of the house when i was there, and i couldn't find much about it on the net, so here is the *only* picture of the place that i could find:


i can't believe this is the only picture i could find? if everyone was like me, this place was a major tourist attraction. i'm glad not everyone is like me, though, as then, maybe it would not be a major tourist attraction at all - maybe this would be what a normal house would look like..

i'll go back to the anarchy-house and get some pictures for you all at some point.
for now: i'm glad to be at HOME in berlin, - in a home with an internet connection - so i can keep up my blog - it's becoming an addictive habbit :s

mushroom house

i love this little mushroom house, i've had it as my desktop for a very long time. it's made by *plusone on deviantart; http://plusone.deviantart.com/ the rest of his work isn't fairytaleish enough to my likikng, though.
