The extent some people will go to to prove they are the number one fan of something is really quite amazing sometimes. Some people even go and build replica houses of their favourite cartoon! I’ve seen various attempts at them before, I think I remember an amazingly garish Barbie house that looked like a big pile of pink vomit. Most have been awful or just had a little bit of themed furniture in them but I found one today that looks AMAZING!
I present to you the real life Simpsons House!
From the outside it looks absolutely spot on but then you go inside and you just get blown away! the wonky sailing boat picture is hung against the garish bright pink walls and even the sofas pretty much bang on.
The kitchen furniture is perfect as well, the bright coloured cabinets and blue and yellow chequered floor all help give it the bright cartoon feel and it even has Maggies high chair in the corner. The stairs have some good touches like the hard hat and jacket from Homers work and of course the mandatory picture frames of the family.
Apparently the house was built for a mere $120,000, which seems like a pretty good price considering how much would have had to been bespoke built just for the project! It was built by a huge Simpsons fan and was used as a grand prize for a big Pepsi and Fox competition. I would have loved to have won this!
