World's Ugliest House - Which I LOVE
Comments (25)Haven't been here in a while but definitely I agree with ocean dweller's suggestions. First, yes, paint those pillars. That white is too stark. How about an earth tone? Maybe an ocher/tan --- something warm that will pull down to and connect with the earth? If you paint those pillars, try to replicate the pillar color somewhere in the foreground with stone or adobe if you can't find plant materials. Secondly, I love his idea of transplanting some shrubbery as a screen out from the pillar on the left. A "patio" area edged with greenery could easily be enhanced over the years with the construction of a low wall and a stone/adobe interior patio or stone paths that lead to other parts of your yard. The colors and textures of the materials you use should compliment the colors on your home. Eventually, you could plant indigenous perennials to add color and texture to the area outside this screen nearer to the driveway. I don't know if this makes sense, but kind of think of your house as a bare naked lady! :) You're going to "dress her up" over time by adding things to the left and right and in front of her. However, because of the scale of the house, make sure you don't go overboard with lots of different kinds of plants and materials. Repeat shades and textures. Notice that in D-D's offering, various shades of green are repeated in different plants--- blue green behind and in front of that that low entry on the right --- yellow green in tall spears and low textures -- and leaf green. Various shades of browns and tans are repeated in paint and stone work. I'll add my name to the list of those who are curious to see what happens to your home over time. Keep posting the progress.

Comments (8)The story here is her much delayed burial not her medical condition. Back in those days nothing was thought of being in a freak show and in poor countries parents were known to disfigure their children so they could earn the money freak shows provided. All that being said.... never read the comments on anything. It is not up to us to judge who is ugly, fat, funny-looking etc. Love your neighbor (all your neighbors) as your self and you will not notice little physical differences much....See MoreWorld's Ugliest House - Which I LOVE
Comments (19)Thank you all for your replies of hope! It is definitely a one of a kind house around here (Texas Gulf Coast). We are in a very humid climate fori, with hurricanes occasionally coming through. I feel like this house would hold up better than a traditional brick home. I looked up Joseph Eichler - very interesting. This house does have concrete flooring in the den and kitchen area, painted as a giant Texas flag. Although it needs to be repainted, it is one of the things I fell in love with right away. So unique. In regards to the windows, adding some to the front would be strictly cosmetic (which is the whole goal), as the other sides of the house have plenty of light coming in through a row of windows all along the top of the house. (Picture below is best I could get) As many of you suggested, I will most definitely be hiring an architect for help! hollysprings, thank you for the pictures! I'm adopting your comment about my not so ugly duckling becoming a very modern swan, as my mantra! LauraNJ, there are 2 driveways. One is a circular one that runs in front of the house, meeting up with the pavestone. The driveway leading to the garage at the back of the house, runs parallel to the left side of the house. Julie, the facing direction of the house is Northeast (about 57 degrees on my Feng Shui compass) bmh4796 - I will check out dwell magazine. Looking forward to posting how it turns out! Diane, I went into the Paint program and extended the columns to the roof line. I also added some windows. Someone needs to just tell me to step AWAY from the mouse......See MoreYIKES!

Comments (58)Those comforters and the shower curtains are hideous. I can confidently say that if I installed one of them in our home my DH would divorce me. Heck, _I'd_ divorce me.
