The stone huts and streets of this Italian city look like a scene from a fairytale. The buildings you see before you are called trulli. The rise in popularity of such houses was in 19th century when they were constructed as storehouses and temporary field shelters or as permanent shelters by agricultural laborers and small proprietors. Wouldn’t it be amazing to own such a house? To become engulfed by the fairytale as you sip a cup of coffee, looking out of a small window onto a crowded street.

Portuguese street artist Artur Bordalo, aka Bordalo II, uses mixed media to create his own interpretations of the urban landscape and environment. He often composes his works using various found items that he merges together into beautiful forms.

Some clever Japanese cat owners have re-purposed a simple but popular doll bed from IKEA, turning it into an adorable bed for their cats and other pets. The $20 Duktig is officially a toy bed for children’s dolls, but it also seems to have become IKEA’s first foray into the pet furniture market. Incidentally, the slot at either end of the bed is an excellent feature for cats – it lets them stick their tails out if they want to relax.

There's nothing quite like a child's drawing. Even the most eccentric artist can only hope to achieve a fraction of the creativity that goes into artwork made by a kid.

If eating a meal 750 feet below the earth appeals to you, you're not going to find a better place to do it than the Underground Lunchroom of the Carlsbad Caverns. This might seem like a strange place to put a restaurant, but it makes perfect sense when you consider that Carlsbad Caverns National Park is visited by over 350,000 people per year. That's a lot of hungry explorers, and I doubt the Guadalupe Mountains of New Mexico are teeming with other food options.
