    Show us your home decor!

    Here's a few shots of my favorite room. My wife says it's cluttered but it's cluttered with all the stuff I enjoy looking at so I'm OK with that. If having one picture you enjoy is a good thing, having a lot is even better, right...

    Who do you use to host pictures on forums?

    Thank you. I'll give that a try. I wonder if it works on other forums as well?

    Who do you use to host pictures on forums?

    I'm not sure if this is the proper forum to discuss this but I just found out that all the pictures I have posted on various forums over the years using Photobucket have been taken down. They now want to charge $40 a month or $400 a year for 3rd party hosting. Not bloody likely for me since I...

    The House is a Museum ...

    I had that exact vase that you've got on the right of your mantel. My father-in-law brought it back from Japan when he served there after WW2. It contained some dried silver dollar stems and one day I was walking by holding a large package and the stems got caught on it and it came crashing down...

    That's a beaut. I've got a couple pheasants but you can never pass up another good one.

    Been a while since I've checked in. There's been some real beauts on here recently. Here's a couple interesting ones I found recently. At first glance you would think the one on the right is from the 70s. That was my wife's guess but I'm pretty sure from the fabric and the widths (49" long...

    That Rick Griffin tie is so cool! I'm dating myself but I've been a Griffin fan since Murphy's days in Surfer in the mid 60s. I collect quite a bit of Griffin stuff and this is the first time I've seen a tie.

    Nothing really spectacular here but I couldn't resist rescuing this bag o' ties at a rummage sale today. 50 cents for a bag of 70 ties. Unfortunately the lion's share are awful 70's ties but I was able to rescue a few 30's to 50's ties. I'm not really a diagonal stripes guy so most of those...

    Thanks guys. Nice bold look ties are getting harder and harder to come by but I can still find 3 or 4 during the course of a year.

    There haven't been as many bold look ties on here since jamespowers is no longer around so I thought I'd share a few recent finds. The tie on the left has no maker tag, the middle is a Van Heusen, and the right is a deadstock Sky Rider (never heard of that maker before).

    A few recent finds to add to my tiki room collection. There's an interesting story behind the tiki bookends. The bookend on the left I found about 10 years ago at a Goodwill in Spokane, about 80 miles north of where I live. I was bummed at the time that there was only one bookend but decided to...

    Vintage neon signs

    I found these while driving through tiny Pomeroy, WA last weekend. I'm thinking the owner of this corner property is a collector as the signs were in much too good shape to be unrestored. Bless collectors for keeping this part of our history. [/URL][/IMG]

    I found this old floor lamp discarded on the sidewalk while walking my dogs. It took me a while to get all the parts that were missing and get it rewired but I finally found everything. The shade that I found for a dollar at the thrift store had seen better days so I used a strip of tapa cloth...

    The guy in the middle is my most recent tiki find. I found him for 50 cents in a pile of junk at a yard sale with his foot broken off and missing. As you can imagine authentic old tikis are hard to come by here in the wilds of Idaho so I took him home, glued a new piece of wood where the foot...

    Ghost signs

    This one came from Palouse, WA. The old building next door burnt down a couple years ago exposing this sign for the first time in 100+ years.

    Clifton's Cafeteria in Los Angeles

    After 5 years it's finally going to happen! The story of the arduous journey to restoring Cliftons Cafeteria can be found here: http://www.lamag.com/longform/behold-the-fantastical-new-cliftons/ (lots of cool pictures too). My parents ate here in the 40s and it looks as if I'll finally get the...

    Thanks guys. Now if I could just find a neck tie with Hawaiian shirts on it my world would be complete.

    Unless you're trying to make money at it, talent is overrated. It's more important that you're having fun. Nice Loar!

    Hawaiian Shirts - Aloha Shirts

    I've got other shirts which may be a little cooler but I like these three because the play to my interest in collecting Hawaiian shirts and bold look ties. Not really sure if the neck tie ones qualify as Hawaiian, but I like them anyway.
