Strange fish tanks

Have you ever imagined sleeping inside a fish tanks or washing your hands in a fish bowl? Well some people have imagined and made it come true! First we have the fishy toilet:

 
I thought you were supposed to flush fish down the toilet not sit on them! This fish tank toilet was designed by Fish n' Flush company. The tank is 2.5 gallons and is a separate piece from the actual toilet, if your worried you will flush your fish down the toilet! This fishy toilet costs around four hundred dollars. It's a bit pricey but totally worth it!

 
This outrageous house is equipped with two large aquariums located in the bedroom and the living room. The owner of this house is pro football player Chad Ochocinco, and his mansion is in Florida. The couch tank has three flat screen televisions plastered on the front, so when he is watching television he can watch his fish too! The bedroom tank was constructed to be able to watch the fish to fall asleep in a peaceful manner. I can't imagine what these tanks cost!

Welcome to "Fish Highway":
 
This "Fish Highway" was built in a cafe for customers to enjoy while they eat their food. This concoction has two separate tanks with one highway to connect them. When the fish want to move they start swimming upwards towards the flat tube, then they fall into the next tank where they stay for a while. This is a marvelous design for a fish aquarium.


This fish bowl sink is a water work of its own! As you can see there are two clear circles on either side which is the plug for the aquarium and also are soap dispensers! This tank is made with LED lights so the fish can see and you can see them. This tank may not look that expensive, but trust me it is! Priced at 6,000 dollars this beautiful tank is a one of a kind creation!

Crazy Dog Houses

You will be shocked to know how much people spend on their dogs, especially their dog houses! First we have "The Celebrity Hacienda Dog House":

 
This spanish style dog house is owned by the actress/model, Rachel Hunter. Located in California, this house has two wooden doors that can be opened with a nudge. Looking at the above picture you can see paw print wallpaper and terra cotta flooring. Did I mention that a human can fit inside too!


Welcome to the world's most expensive dog house!

 
Costing around half a million dollars this dog palace is fit for a rich dog! Located in the Gloucestershire, this house is constructed of zinc, glass and limestone. There is a spa, a 230,000 dollar sound system and a 52 inch plasma television. For the dog to enter, he or she must scan its eye on the retina eye scanner. Constantly there are video cameras watching the dog in the house and climate controlled rooms. Sheepskin daybeds are in the lounge while other beds are in the two other bedrooms. What a place.


  
Welcome to the pink mansion! Owned by Paris Hilton in Beverly Hills, this 300 square foot palace has a mind of its own. Costing 325,000 dollars for 6 dogs, thats ridiculous. Inside this place there are two floors with a crystal chandelier. The living is downstairs and has closets for their "doggie clothes." The roof is made of clay tile and the gutters are copper. As you can see there is a balcony and a decorative black fence. The house is located by the pool deck and is accessible from the house. In photo one you can see actually how big this home is! 


Aside from the other fancy houses is this home style house. When building this house the owners wanted to incorporate as much dug theme as possible. The pillars on the front of the house are dog bone and the pool is the shape of a dog bone. This house is still unbelievable but yet considerable!

Thanks for reading "Crazy Dog Houses!"

Most Unique Houses

Ever wondered what it would be like to live in a bubble, or even a toilet? Well, some people around the world do and I'm about to show you who! First we have the toilet shaped house:





This oddly unique house was built by Sim Jae-Duck in Soweon, South Korea. It was built to launch the World Toilet Association which is a campaign for more sanitary restrooms. As you can see this house has glass walls surrounding it and inside this toilet there are two guesetrooms, two bedrooms, and three very nice toilets. All in all this house is a one of a kind home!





Look at this wild thing! This very unique house is the "Bubble House!" Built in Tourrettes-sur-Loup , France by architect Antti Lovag, this home is not even 35 years old and is considered a historic place. With views on the Mediterranean Sea this location could not get any better. In the house most furniture is built in, like cabinets and drawers. Although you can not see the center of the house, located there is a garden with a waterfall and palm trees. This house is surely one of the coolest houses I have ever seen!





Have you ever seen a house in the middle of no where? Well, now you have! This strangely unique house surpassingly makes more energy than it uses! Actually this house just sold for around 14.1 million. Constructed by Sarah Featherstone, this home is privately owned and somewhere in the United Kingdom. A strange one in deed!





Even though this house looks pretty cool, I don't think I would want to live there. This strange looking house is often called " Eliphante and Hippodome" because of the hippo constructed entrance. (Top photo) Built in Cornville, Arizona by the artist Michael Kahn and his wife Linda Livant. They said it took them 28 years to find all the scraps to make their house. Finding things from constructions sites and other land they finally have completed their house. What a messy house!

I hope you liked my "Most Unique Houses!" Thanks for reading!

This pool is a great place to visit in anytime of the year!

 
Perching on the highest point in Ravello Italy by the coast is a gorgeous pool. The pool is located right over the water, so while you swim you can watch the ocean splash and crash. This pool is affiliated with the  Hotel Caruso Belvedere which is shown in the background.

 
In Viceroy Miami, Florida you can sit in the 2 acre pool and see Biscayne Bay. As you can see in the picture there are three seperate pools. One is a football sized pool, the other a wading pool and last a eighty person hot tub! While the pool overlooks Miami it also is 15 floors above the city! Imagine that!
