It sure does and this unique hood is made with genuine parts of 1950s Chevrolet – sorry not sure exactly what year or model.

Island House Design in Peru – gorgeous seafront home

Ideally situated on the seafront overlooking Playa La Isla in Peru, this island house design by architect Juan Carlos Doblado makes the connection between contemporary architecture and its natural surroundings of the desert and the sea. The modern design incorporates outdoor living with a rooftop terrace, which overhangs a ground-floor patio. A pool is tucked beneath the overhang, which features a skylight directly above the pool for a sunny soak or swim. A favorite for al fresco lounging and entertaining, these outdoor spaces invite you into the home through massive windows and an open concept interior design. Interior glass walls maintain that sense of openness. Inside, concrete walls and industrial-style finishes give the space a simple, contemporary style. Juan Carlos Doblado

We love looking at Nordic Ware-s yearly holiday parade of fancy cake pans, but we don-t usually think they-re very practical. This year-s pan, though, is different. It-s not only practical, it-s practically cheaterly in its potential to overcome your gingerbread house challenges forever.

This pan creates a very cozy holiday cottage, and since you can make it out of gingerbread cake or spice cake, it could replace those fussy, not very tasty gingerbread houses glued together with stiff icing. You can still let your kids indulge their love of bright candy decorations, though; just stick them on with icing (and peel them off later when you want to eat it!).

What do you think? Cheaterly? Too easy? Just right? Would a cake pan ever replace old-fashioned gingerbread house construction?
