Ashley DIYed a really cool Star Wars marquee. It even lights up!
The base is a handmade wooden sign stenciled, painted, and varnished.
Wow. I don’t think I’d have the patience! Full props for such a meticulous job!

When you really love a game: Klopper & Davis Architects in Perth, West Australia, built Space Invaders critters into the walls of this house. The critters are made with depressed brick, and appear both indoors and outdoors. Take a look:
Not an easily DIY-able project, but very neat.

Kristie Wolfe built a Hobbit hole in the mountains of central Washington state. And what great work it is—the attention to detail is superb!
The house hole has a bedroom, a small living room, and a bathroom with a large wooden oval jacuzzi. As befits a Hobbit hole, the structure is mostly underground and has a round door.
The small yard is edged by a stick-and-branch fence woven by Wolfe’s landscaper sister.
There are loads of thought-out details like the floors made of wooden disks of various sizes and a beautiful metal door decoration/knob. But where is the kitchen? Wolfe explains in this video:
A Hobbit House You Can Stay In by Zillow
In case you can’t access the video, she says she’s planning a total of three holes, and since it’s not very practical for each to have its own kitchen, she wants to build a bigger shared one in the style of an English pub.
Read the article at Zillow for more details and photos.
I can understand that you can’t always overcome restrictions, but I still think a kitchen is vital, VITAL, in a Hobbit home. On the other hand, an indoor bathroom is often omitted in favor of an outhouse when building in a challenging location, so full marks to Wolfe for including a full bath.

Reddit user KahlumG shared photos of an amazing Hobbit-style house built by their uncle outside of Tomich, Scotland.
Look completely like it could be from Bree, right?
The inside looks as appropriate as the outside.
And—and I almost can’t believe it, it’s so perfect—the house has an outbuilding with its own water wheel!
Kudos! Visit the imgur gallery for many more photos.

Reddit user corttana and her husband dahburbb have a pair of Portal-themed mirrors in their basement den:
They were DIY-ed with mirrors, LED rope light, and wood, plus glue and various attachment / hanging supplies. There are some detail photos on Imgur, and dahburbb provides a list of materials and a how-to. This project is four years old already, but still oh, so good. 🙂
