A good person in Albany, N.Y., has taken to Craigslist to seek $200 for his six-drawer dresser and attached mirror, with the possibility of negotiating in a matching night stand. Look closely, however, and certain other of this person's proclivities become clear. It appears that the posting has been removed since Reddit got ahold of it, but meanwhile another swastika-themed Craigslist Albany ad lives on. Writes a New Lebanon, N.Y., man whose neighbor whose garage bears "a Nazi flag with swastika and Maltese cross": "[...] we had a slight screaming encounter about the boudary [sic] dispute."

Is there anything sadder than Keanu Reeves? Why, yes! Yes there is—sad Keanu Reeves, of course! To top off House Beautiful's recent Pink Chair Campaign—in which 30 pink chairs were stashed around Chicago as a weekend-long scavenger hunt—the magazine took to the Photoshop to superimpose the sad, sorry likeness of Keanu Reeves onto various pink perches throughout the Windy City. Why? Just for kicks, giggles, and chuckles, apparently. Note Keanu's "stalker" in the gallery above.

That's Rather Hideous: Beautiful Victorian Suffocates From Theme-Park Interiors

There's nothing better than living someplace where the exterior and interior are completely and utterly incongruous. Take this example, brought to us by our cousins at Curbed Chicago. Outside, a restored facade recalls the grandeur and grace of late 19th-century Victorian architecture. Inside, the living room at once recalls a Days Inn somewhere outside Miami and a restaurant chain styled after '50s diners. Even further afield, the bedroom seems to draw inspiration from Rainforest Cafe, what with its boulder- and tree-themed murals. Does this place come with a souvenir shop?

Video Interlude: Watch—Yes, Watch—a Vintage Issue of House Beautiful From 1967

Screen-shot-2011-02-01-at-9.59.59-AM.jpgLast year, an Auburn, Ala., couple checked out a hard-bound volume of vintage House Beautiful magazines from July to December, 1967—from editor in chief Sarah Tomerlin Lee's short reign—from the library at Auburn University. This not being 1967, they taped themselves flipping through its hundreds of pages and uploaded the footage to YouTube. Highlights of the 14-plus minute video include: a Bing Crosby for La-Z Boy ad ("symbolizing relaxing and taking it easy," they muse); a beanbag chair presented as cutting-edge on a trends page; and an ad from the Miniature Donkey Registry of the United States for, obviously, a miniature donkey—"to ride, to drive, or to simply love." We clipped a very short bit, which follows the jump.
