The 25 Biggest, Most Horrible, Most Shameful, Most Heinous Decorating Mistakes - Page 4

Large numbers of collectibles and/or knickknacks are ok, as long as they are arranged in some type of a coherent manner, and are dusted on a regular basis.

Dusted? You're supposed to dust them? Oh.

Thank you, Alex. Laughing uncontrollably in public while staring at my computer screen is something I always enjoy. Especially when other people start moving to get away from me.

This qualifies as knick-knack overload and out-of-place themes (it's in the front room) but it's my pride and joy. Some of my Yodas (was a thread started with pics from our homes because I couldn't find it...if so, feel free to move this mods!):

It's not so much the Yodi, as the hideous pink tchatchki hutch!

Hmmm, no one's posted about Chernabog's family and their penchant for hanging dozens of family photos ... some really cool ones apparently from the Civil War era, but mostly of Cherny and his brother as boys in Little Lord Fauntleroy black velvet short pants suits with lots of white frill at collar and cuffs.

You can hardly notice the chatchke overload for all the shock of the family photos.

Washed-out photo...it's actually a vivid red.

My grandmother used to have a glass picture of my father (on convex glass no less!). It is relatively large (maybe 10" high and 14" wide). It is of my father as a baby, buck naked, on all fours with hit tush prominently in the foreground. It bugs the hell out of him. As soon as I can get my hands on it, it shall be prominently displayed on my wall for him to see whenever he visits.

I may have mentioned the site linked below before. It's truly horrifying - for all kinds of reasons.

My room probably violates all of these decorating rules.

I like that.

OMG, JW! I could NOT look away, and I could NOT stop clicking! This is my new favorite commentary site. Go Fug Yourself has nothing on them!
