Weird Homes


I am fascinated by weird homes! A few years ago there used to be a regular tv series by the same name (now cancelled), whose host travelled all over North America featuring the oddest homes you could ever begin to imagine. In many cases they were inhabited by the most endearing characters, as well. Perhaps you remember this series yourself? I was sorry to see it go.

I hope you also love the odd, the strange and the bizarre when it comes to homes...? Moving forward, I'd like Weird Homes to become a regular feature - hey, if nothing else, maybe we can all get some decorating ideas!


This short (1 minute) clip features the world's narrowest home, 
which was recently built in Warsaw, Poland.

  1. That sounds like my kind of show, Jane. I love looking at other people's homes, so please keep this up. That Warsaw home is like a coffin! Good job it's white and bright, or it would be way too claustrophobic for me.

  2. Weird Homes is also something I would enjoy! I've run across a few articles recently about odd houses, and although I did run across a narrow house, it wasn't as small as the one in the video. That one would would freak me out; it makes me feel too claustrophobic!

  4. Oh, I used to love that show "Weird Homes" too! This skinny house definitely would have qualified!

  6. That last line struck a chord! I was feeling uncomfortable just watching the clip.

  7. I think I would like that. I certainly wouldn't be able to overeat, ha ha. Never saw the show though, but it sounds like fun!

  8. I always watched that show too!! It was so interesting to see what kind of materials people would use and their style of architecture. The house in Poland is just a little too small for my tastes. Wasn't there a very narrow home in Holland that was featured on the show? But it was the width of the out stretched arms, I believe.

  9. So cool. I absolutely love the house on the photo. It looks just like a UFO. My dream has been to see one...imagine living in one?!

  10. The skinny house would make me feel like I was being crushed. I am not claustrophobic but I need a little space. Love gray aliens though and I would be right at home in the 1st one!

  11. U nas takiego serialu o domach nie ma. Ja jednak lubię oglądać takie udziwnione domy. Pierwszy ze zdjęcia jest ciekawy. Nie wyobrażam sobie natomiast mieszkać w domu w Warszawie. Tam chyba najwięcej jest schodów i malutkie pomieszczenia. U mnie w poście obecnym też jest ciekawy dom, ale tylko do zwiedzania. Pozdrawiam.
    In our series of such homes is not. But I like to watch these weird houses. The first of the photos is interesting. But I can not imagine living in a house in Warsaw. I think there are many stairs and small rooms. At my current post is also an interesting house, but only to visit. Yours.
