Weird Rooms

EAN/UPC/ISBN Code 9780764900105


For most people, home is not only a personal sanctuary, it is a personal statement. This book features some of the most completely bizarre rooms in houses across the United States. The authors sought out people whose personal obsessions and fetishes have led them to transform their domestic environments into quite unusual places. Some rooms are designed solely to enshrine pop icons, like a Kennedy Room or an Elvis Room. One man transformed his entire apartment into a spaceship with rolls of duct tape, tin foil, and a few dozen computers and television sets; another turned his bedroom into a Lego City, complete with an airport, cathedral, and city hall. Most of these rooms were originally created out of necessity for collections run amok, or as a fantastic refuge from the outside world. Packed from cover to cover with curiosities, you can be sure to pick up some unorthodox decorating ideas.
