thank heavens for chopsticks and spaghetti, who sent me to this fabulous little gem of a front yard after she saw my report on the outdoors type. this place has it all - chandeliers, metal sculptures, painted bathtubs, bowling balls-a-plenty, a vase strung in between the slopes of the roof, dinosaurs and bottles and ceiling fans and headlights and bicycles and license plates and lord knows what else dangling from anything dangleworthy. now that the subzero temps and howling winds are history and the sun is shining again, i was finally willing to lace up my boots and hike over there today. it was worth every moment of trudging through the blocks of slushy goo. thanks, chopsticks!
p.s. just set up an artsyville page on facebook - if you're in the neighborhood, please stop by and say hello!

awesome! wouldn´t you love to meet them?
Do they sell all this stuff or is this how they live? I agree with Jane - I'd love to meet them.
I have been following your blog for sometime now...
thanks for making my day! This is great!
perfect ... what fun ... and even cooler in the snow ....
that tub is awesome!!
What kills me about this is what people see.
I seriously have no eye. I would be like take it all to the junkyard.
Love Renee xoxo
Gotta love that bathtub!!
Round my house this would just look like junk - this just looks so artful.
Yes, JUNK is in the eye of the beholder---and how it is arranged. The place is so funky it is fun.
Oh those license plates! I really like them on a grid like that. At first I thought I knew that place but I don't think I do.
i am always amazed at the arty place you leave- then if i would imagine artsyville it would look a lot like that :) :) :)
see you in fb :D
Seriously.. what I'm doing in Miami? Lawrence is the *PLACE*
I love places like this--endlessly fascinating. Love pictures--I could look at them all day long.
Oh my God Aimee I got the most wonderful package today.
I love my picture. Tonight it will be on my wall. The colours, it is so beautiful.
I was thrilled with the magnets, as I was just looking at the ones in your shop.
Thank you so much Aimee, I love them.

So cool! I'm a sucker for bowling balls in the front yard!
Nice to see some sun in Larryville. Did you check out the alley? I think their back fence is my favorite part.
All that, and a pink scooter too. Love it!
aimee, i think you live in the funkiest, coolest town EVER. It's like never-ending wonderfulness!! Love those license plates-- awesome.
That tub is awesome! It looks like they took all the little grippy flowers that were on the inside and slap-daggered them to the outside!
Cool- Love the clawfoot tub!
wow! this is so super fly!!
WHOA! I mean...WHOA! I don't know what tickled me more, the dinosaurs in their cages or the photographer in the mirror!
the second time this week I have to think of 'to kill a mockingbird', now the haunted house.
this is fab. did you go and ring the bell? or was it like the type-writer excursion, just an outdoorsy one? next time, you can perhaps take your girlie with you, goggles and all; she'll definitely ring the bell for you. no probs.
nice last pic, artsy reporter ;)
la maison de mes rêves!!!
It's incredible!
Funny and amazing... a house (and pictures) like in a dream...
Great pictures! (And to answer some of the questions, he just does it for fun--he goes to the junkyard looking for interesting pieces and spends quite a long time making all these great pieces. It's always changing.)
oh wow... that is so awesome... your town is like going down a rabbit hole and discovering all sorts of fun people there... i love the painted tub full of snow...
I would like a bunch of the colorful vintage license plates, and the tub with the flowers painted on it please. Just a small request :)
xoxo

don't think I ever would have thought to put a Tyrannosaurus in a birdcage... nice!
What a fun and interesting place! Are you no longer doing corner view?
I love these pictures, they are so inspiring...oh glorified junk makes me happy...great finds, so many of them in one spot. treasures.

Holy moly, what a crazy fascinating and fun place, amazing!
isn't this great?? i can't wait for the snow to melt so i can see what else is in their yard!
thought at first it was in your neighborhood too... I'm also curious about the people living there!
what a cool collection of stuff! but they've got an ugly old Ohio license plate. ick.
That tub rocks!
That would be my yard..hahah!
Oh my god, that is just amazing., brilliant photos and fantasticly wonderful place. How unique.
Love places like this...great discovery and so cool to see it with all of the snow, too.
