When you love something as much as this home’s owner loves fishing, you go to extreme measures. For some that might mean decorating an entire wing of the house in fishing memorabilia. For others, going so far as having their favorite fish tattooed somewhere personal on their body. For this Skiatook Oklahoma man, he built his home on a pond, and a fishing hole in his living room.

Paul Phillips, a contractor in the Skiatook area, has built a multitude of homes over the years in the community. Through the years he had a dream of building a special home. One that he could fish right through the living room floor. See the house that a love for fishing built. Thank god he didn’t have a love for NASCAR.

The Colorful House Trend: Crazy or Cute?
