It’s the weekend before Halloween, the day before another episode of AMC’s The Walking Dead, AND The Walking Dead Vol. 19 comes out in a couple of weeks. No better time than now to do some Walking Dead DIY projects!Continue Reading…
There’s a Super Mario Bros Piranha Plant in our Backyard.
File this one under “not so subtle geeky home decor”, but we now have a 3′ tall Super Mario Bros 3 DIY fire piranha plant in our backyard. Continue Reading…
Before/After Midcentury Modern Chairs (with a Star Wars surprise!)
On our way to the best place in LA to get french fries, we saw these two chairs sitting curbside. Score? Keep reading to see the “After”.
Geeky Home Decor for Non-DIY’ers (Bonus – Nothing Over $75!)
We are obviously big believers in DIY projects – both for the satisfaction of it and because we hate spending money. There are, however, some things that we just can’t make ourselves (sad face), plus we know that not everyone is into getting messy and spending their weekends with a paintbrush and a sanding block. For that, here’s a roundup of some of our favorite geeky home decor, to buy instead of DIY.Continue Reading…
Beautiful (and geeky!) Art Prints by Artist Andrew Heath
A couple of weeks ago we posted about artist Juan Ortiz and his gorgeous Star Trek art prints. Today we want to share the work of the incredibly talented Andrew Heath.
We ran across his Etsy shop this weekend (while searching for Robocop prints), and though we’ve never met him, somehow he must be reading the wishlist in our minds. He has a beautiful rendition of everything from Robocop, Breaking Bad, and Arrested Development to Legend of Zelda, Masters of the Universe, Temple of Doom, Army of Darkness, and Batman (and tons more).Continue Reading…
Happy 1-Monthiversary to us! Plus we joined Pinterest.
We just realized that our 1-month-anniversary was a few days ago, and wanted to thank everyone (especially our regular visitors) for their continued support. We assumed that only our 10 closest geek friends would stop by, so we were incredibly surprised to find that thousands of other geek-home-decor lovers found us so quickly.
In the coming weeks we will be featuring a really cool DIY headboard, a DIY geek-fabric sleeping bag (Winter is Coming!), our “why didn’t we do this three years ago?” LP display shelves, some easy DIY throw pillows, a baroque style LEGO mini-figure display, our backyard dining-room, and a few furniture re-do’s that we have been working on (including 2 Gunlocke mid century chairs that we found in the trash! The trash! – and a complete restore on a mid century modern dresser). Plus we will continue sharing posts featuring nerd art prints, more geek fabric (that post was one of our most popular!), geek home decor under $20, and other people’s fantastic home projects.
If you run across any amazing geekery, feel free to email tips to us at info@ournerdhome.com. Also, to celebrate our cakeday, we joined Pinterest!
DIY Legend of Zelda 8-bit Fire in our Fireplace (total cost: $2!)
DIY Han Solo Cabinet Pulls / Drawer Knobs
Yep. We were looking for some unique cabinet and drawer knobs/pulls, but couldn’t find anything that really stood out. While getting some Han Solo [frozen in carbonite] ice cubes out of the freezer last weekend, we had an idea inspired by HomeMade Modern’s concrete Darth Vader vase.Continue Reading…
Artist Creates a Retro Movie-style Poster for EVERY Episode of Star Trek TOS
We were already big fans of artist Juan Ortiz, and his vintage-style Star Trek art prints. Well, apparently he has created a unique movie-poster-esque print for EVERY EPISODE of Star Trek: The Original Series. 80 prints. Better yet? You can get a 10″x14″ hardcover book containing every print, for $25.
We originally wanted this as a coffee table book, but now I’m thinking we might use a bunch of the prints for the gallery wall we’re planning. Either way, a great buy for nerds!Continue Reading…
