Lookout House: Elevated Glass Residence Inspired by Observatories Posted: 31 May 2015 01:06 PM PDT For those lucky enough to select just the right location to build their dream home, the view is often the most important consideration. The value of living in an area with beautiful scenery is multiplied when you can actually see the landscape or skyline from your windows. This house by Ziegler Antonin doesn't just make the view a priority, it organizes the entire living space around it, becoming one big livable observation point.

Cool Wallpaper Alternative: Sculptural Wooden Wall Coverings Posted: 30 May 2015 08:00 PM PDT Two-dimensional wallpaper can liven up a plain wall surface, but it's still flat, and probably not very interesting in its own right (unless it changes color, lights up or features fold-out elements.) Moving beyond mere wall coverings and into something more akin to sculpture, these wooden panels by MOKO interior are like large-scale art pieces. The undulating lines and tactile qualities invite you to run your hand along its surface, interacting with it rather than just observing it from a distance.

Managing Micro Spaces: Space-Saving Room in a Room Posted: 30 May 2015 03:09 PM PDT How do you make a space that's the size of an average bedroom accommodate an entire apartment? If there's vertical space available, the answer is nearly always to build up, and that's exactly what Berlin studio Spamroom did for this tiny apartment. The creation of a built-in central unit housing a kitchen, bathroom and mezzanine makes the 226-square-foot space feel surprisingly comfortable and functional.

Lined Paper Cat Illusion Posted: 30 May 2015 10:07 PM PDT In my Internet travels this weekend, I ran across a few pretty cool illusions drawn on lined paper. The drawings aren’t your typical 6th grade doodles either. The lines on the paper are incorporated into the drawings to give them a 3D effect. Here’s a fun little lined paper cat illusion as an example… The way this is drawn, it looks like this little kitty is trying to climb u the lines on the paper. It also looks a little like he’s trying to escape from a cage. I just love this lined paper cat illusion drawing! It’s so adorable and creative, even though I’m not the biggest feline fan. Hopefully, it gave you a little smile today too! What did you think of this lined paper cat illusion? Sweet or senseless? If you’re looking for something a little more challenging, maybe you could tell us whether this cat is going up or down the stairs!

Optical Illusion of The Day: Crazy Giant Mouth Face Paint Illusion

Crazy Giant Mouth Face Paint Illusion Posted: 29 May 2015 09:57 PM PDT Anyone else gearing up for a crazy weekend? Yeah, me either… But, I do have a pretty crazy face paint illusion for you today! Yikes! At first glance, it appears that this gentleman has a giant mouth! It’s just a giant mouth face paint illusion, though. With the help of a little makeup and a lot of skill, someone was able to create the illusion that this man has an enormous cartoon mouth. It’s such a great makeup job that I had trouble seeing this man’s real mouth after looking at it for a bit. I still can’t really see it, but I have to assume that the makeup creating the line between the top teeth and the upper lip are camouflaging his real mouth. It’s not an utterly mind blowing illusion, but definitely a nifty little trick. This giant mouth face paint illusion would make for a pretty attention grabbing Halloween costume at least! What did you think of this giant mouth face paint illusion? Would you try to attempt to recreate it? If you love face paint illusions, make sure you check out our post 365 days of face painting!

• 86-Year-Old Woman Has Been Living on Luxury Cruise Ship for Seven Years
• Artist Creates Amazing Photo-Like Portraits with Thousands of Metal Screws
• Shanghai Shopping Mall Creates Extra-Large Parking Spaces for Women

86-Year-Old Woman Has Been Living on Luxury Cruise Ship for Seven Years Posted: 29 May 2015 04:13 AM PDT For most of us a cruise around the world aboard a luxury ship is nothing but a fantasy, but for Lee Wachtstetter it’s everyday life. The 86-year-old has been living on the Crystal Serenity cruise ship for the last seven years, hardly ever setting foot on dry land. The Florida woman sold her five-bedroom home in Fort Lauderdale shortly after she lost her husband ,Guy Mason Wachtstetter, to cancer, and moved into the stateroom of a Holland America Line ship. When that ship discontinued its dance host program, she moved to the 1,070-passenger Crystal Serenity, where she has been living for the past seven years! Read More

Artist Creates Amazing Photo-Like Portraits with Thousands of Metal Screws Posted: 29 May 2015 02:52 AM PDT In a phenomenal display of creativity, artist Marc Schneider has managed to transform ordinary metal screws into an art medium. He painstakingly arranges thousands of gray scale screws to create detailed portraits that look like black and white photographs. Schneider starts by taking a photo and modifying the pixels into a gray scale template. Using the pixelated photograph as a reference, he uses thousands of hand sprayed screws to replicate the photo on a block of wood.  "I enjoy working in a medium that embodies strength and durability, allowing the viewer to touch the art and experience the unique surface created by thousands of screws," he wrote on his website. "The meticulous approach in the creation of my screw art portraits is medicine for my soul." Read More

Shanghai Shopping Mall Creates Extra-Large Parking Spaces for Women Posted: 29 May 2015 02:12 AM PDT A shopping mall in Shanghai recently sparked controversy with its special, super-sized parking spaces for female drivers. The pink-colored spots are six meters long by three meters wide, making them half a meter larger than normal parking spaces. Although mall staff insist that they are intended to make parking safer and more convenient for women, plenty of netizens have deemed the move sexist. The four pink-colored spaces on the B1 level of Wandu Center, on Xingyi Road, feature the image of a woman, similar to the ones used to designate restroom doors, on the floor and the walls behind them are to be painted pink for easy identification. Men are obviously not allowed to use these spots, but strict action won't be taken against those who do, at least not at first. "Whether the ladies-only spaces will be properly used still depends on public awareness," said mall employee Li Ming. Read More
