Other pictures show a home transformed into a sleek looking futuristic property with angular white roofing and a carport. One image even shows a glamorous red carpet leading to the front door.
This mobile home has been given an Ancient Egyptian themes with pseudo hieroglyphics and columns to mark the entrance to the driveway. The low wall at the front also gives the illusion of there a being a moat around the property. The remarkable property is located in Blue Skies Village, Cathedral City, California

Christmas is coming. The homeowners are clearly in the festive spirit and have added a tasteful lighting display across the roof and on the palm trees in the front yard
The original mobile homes are visible if you look carefully. This property has had an extension and an attractive border added. Its extension and the flanking palm trees and mountains make this once portable house a desirable place to live

Jeffrey explains that the way in which the homes have been decorated reflects the aspirations of the owners. 'What is special about them, and makes them so visually appealing was that over the years they had been lovingly added to and decorated so that they became more than mere houses,' he said.
