Check out “Eliphante,” a sculptural home-turned arts museum in Cornville, Arizona that is the product of 28 years of hard work by artist Michael Kahn and his wife, Leda Livant. The New York Times online has a great slideshow, showing parts of the house, as well as some of the creative/constructive processes. Included in the house are an outdoor summer kitchen, extensive stained glass artwork (seen below), a piano built into a wall of driftwood, and more.  Not to mention that the home resides on small river that the couple uses to canoe. All very cool; check it out:
