HAPPY VALENTINES DAY
Here’s a very red room we stayed in last August at The Madonna Inn in San Luis Obispo, California. They named it the Tack Room. I had red leather wall covering, red leather bedspreads, red stained wood walls, pink marble pedestal sinks, and lots more red stuff.
I wonder who’s staying there this Valentines Day?
See our full set of photos from the extraordinary Madonna Inn
The Madonna Inn has 109 unique theme rooms where you can stay, as well as multiple odd over-the-top dining environments. You can/should see photos of all 109 rooms here.
Click "Tour Our Rooms Online" at the top right, and then the "Next " button under the photos to tour through each room.

Pimp My Crib! Russian Gangster Builds World’s Tallest Log Cabin ?

One-time Russian gangster Nikolai Sutyagin’s home is certainly unusual. The eccentric former convict’s seemingly accidental 15-year project begun in 1992 stands 13 floors, 144 feet high. He claims he was only intending to build a two-story house – larger than those of his neighbours to reflect his position as the city’s richest man.

Travel Photos and Capturing a Personal Vision

I’m a sucker for travel slideshows and creative documentation of people and places. Stephen Cysewski has created an intriguing personal vision in his “Wandering” travelogs. When viewing in particular his “Wandering in Seattle” I feel like a fly on the wall viewing photos taken years ago in Seattle giving it a unique historic reference filled with memories for anyone who has spent time downtown. One finds so many familiar locations and a sense of rare nostalgic purity in Cysewski’s carefully thought out compositions. I almost expect to find myself in the crowd in some of the beautifully captured personal visions presented in these photos. Treat yourself to the treasure of this poetic journey.

Desdemona’s Rocket Ship / The Cosmic Muffin

This boat, made from a plane, reminiscent of a mobile home gone houseboat, has a rich history as a Boeing 307 Stratoliner from the 1930′s and historic connections to an unlikely pair of characters, Howard Hughes and Jimmy Buffett. Read more about Desdemona’s Rocket Ship / The Cosmic Muffin here.
