Stop Everything, it’s the Tiniest, Coziest Home on Wheels

You know what camping RV’s are missing? A neo-classical columned porch, obviously. And vintage-inspired interior decor perhaps too…. Presenting the Heirloom Tiny Home, a fully-equipped hand-made custom house on wheels made by an innovative young company based in the American city and birthplace of all things quirky, Portland, Oregon. Their motto: Home is where you park it. And…

The Guy who Built a 1970s Pan Am Airplane in his Garage

Here on MessyNessyChic, I think it’s safe to say we all enjoy the thought of traveling back in time now and again, but there are some people who take it just that little bit further. Self-confessed “airplane nerd” Anthony Toth has gone and spent nearly $100,000 on a partial replica 1970s Pan Am ‘747. He began building…

All Aboard AirBnB’s Airplane Apartment

There’s nothing ‘economy’ about this getaway home whose front porch also happens to be an airport boarding ramp– and a very welcoming one at that, with an orange nome waiting for you at the door. AirBnB never fails to disappoint in tempting us with some of the most unique homes around the world and this one is…

This Vintage Trailer King lives on a 1920s Fish Farm

I came across this guy when I was discovering the incredible retro photographs of Ryan Schude last week and immediately had to know more about him. Johnny Agnew is not your average vintage collector. Nope, Johnny is what you might call an urban archeologist extraordinaire; the King of junk hunting. His “backyard”, which also happens to be an…

The Moving Houses of San Francisco

It’s moving day for MessyNessyChic. Today we’re carrying furniture up the winding Parisian staircase, unpacking boxes and settling into the first official MNC hub in Paris– or as I have taken to calling it, “the MNC Parisheadquarters!” Now usually, this whole moving malarkey is supposed to be impossibly stressful, even potentially disastrous they say; but late last night as I…

The Tiniest House in London, possibly the World, is for Sale just shy of Half a Million Dollars

Come and take a tour of this one-bedroom London property up for sale, it’ll only take a second– no, literally. Despite its shortcomings (measuring in at just 17 square meters or 188 square feet), this compact little terraced house located near Angel in Islington, pretty much has everything you could possibly need in a London pied-a-terre (yes, I…

Waiting for the End of the World: Fallout Shelter Tourism

Most people travel the world to visit various natural wonders, take a tour of the famous monuments or go in search of authentic cuisine. Richard Ross goes in search of bomb shelters. Armed with his camera, Ross took a five-year journey into the underground world, documenting not only the bomb shelters of the United States, but also…

Stop Everything, it’s a Teeny Tiny Bird Town

This is very much one of those, “shutup and take my money” moments. And I don’t actually have a garden to put one of these things in, but minor details. I found this series of birdhouse shopfronts and eclectic homes while perusing Pinterest and sort of just lost it (the Route 66 Diner had me at hello).…

The Romeo & Juliet Villages of Santa Barbara

Now this is my idea of a Romeo and Juliet scene– that is if they had fallen in love in a fantasy Andalusian village rather than Verona. We’re ogling at the mediterranean residence of Cota Street Studios, designed by local Santa Barbara architect, Jeff Shelton, whose work I’m just discovering and will hopefully explore more in…

My Bohemian Berlin Brasserie

The owner of Katz Orange (orange cat in German), was inspired by a trip he took to Peru where he met a spiritual priest who owned an orange cat. Upon entering the beautiful brasserie, you can imagine him sitting in this shaman’s mountain hut with an orange cat, surrounded by indigenous artifacts and kilim tapestries passed down from…
