Swing House

What would you do if you could purchase a house for a couple thousand dollars? If you are Mark Dejong you turn it into a functional work of art. Much like the 5K House he finished three years ago, Mr. Dejong uses his artistic background to find elegant solutions for issues in the house. For instance, instead of remodeling all the rooms, why not bust out all the walls and floors and make it one big room? And that is exactly what he did, and he hung a swing to boot. But while everyone was focused on the swing I was fixated on all the little details in the place. Like how he left plaster from each room with its original paint creating a mosaic on the walls. There is also a cool little art gallery in the basement made from wood and other items found in the house.
The most amazing thing about the Swing House is it is functioning home, including a kitchen and bath.
You can check this out yourself next weekend December 9th and 10th from 12-4pm.
