I bet the little attic room is pretty nice from the inside, but you have to wonder what they were thinking.

I love houses that cannot be categorized. Or maybe they all can be……anyone got a name for this style?

The public swimming pool in Point Richmond reopened with a grand celebration recently. In the interior, the beautiful structure is washed with daylight, and a floor to ceiling mural at one end by John Wehrle really completes the experience. I took a photo of the huge lighted sign the other night because it amused me. Maybe more buildings should be clearly labeled like this. I’ve considered it for my house, in part because I like to paint. The street numbers could be 8″ high and painted in glow in the dark paint. We could bring in a new era of sign painting arts and put neon sign makers to work. I’m not sure all the signs should be mounted at an angle to the building like this…and they could be slightly more subtle perhaps….but they should all be as beautiful as possible. No shiny plastic.
