apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time


Have You Ever Lived In A House With A Face?

022509-faces.jpg While driving around on this beautiful day in Midwestern America, we stumbled upon an entire neighborhood of this same style of house. Which isn't anything out of the norm, except we can't get past the thought that this whole neighborhood of houses - all have faces. Click through the jump to see one more from the same block!

 
 

022509-pighouse.jpg We decided this one was more along the lines of an evil piggy! Do you notice faces on houses? Or is it just us (we also see them on cars too... but that's a story for a whole different blog)? Leave us your comments and thoughts below!

(P.S. Please excuse the horrible photoshopping!)

I do see faces in houses and cars also. I never really gave it much thought, but if I lived in one, I would totally enhance that effect for fun sometimes, like you did with the paint. What a great idea for Halloween - I wonder if the people on this block realize the facial features of their houses, and could they make a whole block of monsters?

Never lived in one myself, but the house across the street from my apartment has a face. It's both funny and unnerving...

So funny...my son, now a teenager, has observed this phenomenon since he was a little kid. It happens a lot in commercial buildings and buses apparently too.

Not since I was about 7 years old.

All the time! Maybe it's just because I am an artist, though.

Now I want roller shades with eyes painted on the OUTSIDE, just to wig out passersby.

Only some houses...I definitely see it in these! Pretty much every car has a face to me though, so I agree with you there.

See Jacques Tati's film, 'Mon Oncle'.

I used to live in a modern house that looked like a futuristic robotic snake. It was those little windows on the roof... they were like eyes!

If my house was a face, it would be Cyclops.
