Most home Halloween decorations go the spooky route, but if you can dress up like Frodo, John Travolta or Spock, then why can't your house dress up as something little different too? This year, let your home reflect your geeky interests by covering your porch light up with these fun Star Wars light covers.
The Darth and storm trooper designs are only $9 a pop and can fit on any light up to 17".
Malaysia's telegraph poles have been torn down in recent years, which provided WHBC Architects with a delightful option when their British clients requested their new Malaysian home be constructed with reclaimed wood.
Aside from offering the perfect strength and size for the home's support structures, they also provide a unique look as the aged wood has developed a thick patina after being exposed to the elements over the years.
The open plan home allows for ample natural ventilation, allowing the home to remain comfortably cool without any air conditioner use.
The Wonderful World of Disney is beloved by children around the globe and many of those kids continue to adore the company and its films as they grow into adults, and some of them even show that adoration in the form of tattoos.
Disney
One man is behind the entire Disney franchise, and this tattoo by Aldona Reyman is a lovely tribute to the man who made it all possible, Walt Disney.
Sleeping Beauty's Castle
The castle at the heart of Disneyland is more than just an attraction, it's ultimately an icon for the entire world of Disney and all the magic moments they helped create over the years. This castle was inked by Tom Tait Tattoos and belongs to Kristen Brumpton.
Mickey & Minnie
Mickey might be the most famous animated character on earth now, but that was hard to imagine when he first appeared in Steamboat Willie back in 1928. Here's a tribute to the mouse that made it all possible courtesy of Lucky Dice Tattoo.
Here's a fun Disney fact: the first people who did the voices for Mickey and Minnie ended up getting married in real life. This adorable tattoo of the animated couple was done by Dean Denney.
Princesses
Princesses are some of the most popular stars in the entire Disney lineup. This unfinished piece by Miss Mae La Roux is a fantastic dedication to those royal ladies.
The Gabriel Apartment is a palace servants' quarter that has been converted into a private residence. While the traditional 19th century Ottoman style of the unit is lovely, the residents needed the property to be fixed up and modernized for their newest lifestyle.
One of the central accents of the apartment were the historical frescoes, which the architect managed to enhance by removing the white plaster of the apartment to reveal more natural lighting. The architects also maintained the original wooden floors, though they cleared out the ceiling so all that remained was the wooden support beams.
The end result is sleek and beautiful, yet rustic and traditional.
You may like to hang out, but you've probably never hung out quite like this. The madness you see before you is a clever idea by Ikea and communication agency Ubi Bene to advertise the newest Ikea in Clermont-Ferrand, France.
Aside from the hand holds, everything in the apartment is furnished byt the famous furniture store and the vertical apartment is entirely furnished, featuring everything from a kid's bed to a coffee pot in the kitchen area.
If you ever dreamed of living in the world of Inception, this might be the closest you'll ever get to sitting in a vertical living room.

These days, tree houses aren't just for kids. People from all age groups can enjoy sleeping, eating and playing up in the trees. Over at Homes and Hues, we rounded up 11 tree houses that are filled with luxuries.
Many of the houses are available for rent throughout the year, allowing you to stay right in the forest you're exploring while still offering you a comfortable bed and other creature comforts.
Of course, some of them are more wild than others. In fact, while the bedrooms of this Costa Rica tree house are screened in, the kitchen and other spaces are totally open to the elements -and the sloths!
Roombas are a great idea in theory, but having a vacuum that doesn't work all that well bump around the walls isn't as great as the idea of a robotic vacuum. That's why Dyson has been working on their own robotic vacuum for over 16 years. The Dyson 360 Eye uses the pattented Dyson cyclone technology to really step up the cleaning power of the device. It also has a 360 degree camera that records where the device has already cleaned and where there are obstacles to block its path. The result is a better, more efficient robotic vacuum -exactly what you'd expect from the Dyson company.
Bauhaus style has held up well, but all homes need a little touch up here and there. England's House in Hamble-le-Rice was a little rundown after a few mediocre alterations. That's why the owners commissioned LA Hally Architect to rennovate the house, bringing it back to its classic style while also modernizing the interior and adding space, including a rooftop terrace.
The fantastic remodel included a change to an open plan kitchen and living space that open up to the grassy backyard that lines the marina.
Everyone needs a little help in the kitchen sometimes and this handy apron is there for you.

Cantilevering a house is a great way to extend your viewing platform and make the most of an already impressive view. This is particularly true in this sleek Japanese home by Kidosaki Architects Studio. Balanced on two thin steel beams, the exterior of the home is surrounded by a wooden deck so you can enjoy the views while taking in the fresh air.
The living room is particularly impressive with the three walls worth of floor-to-ceiling windows that provide an impressive 360 degree view of the Yatsugatake Mountains.
