Don't you guys understand this is a guy who did what he could to get the wife acceptance factor he needed to live with his altecs in the house?

My impression was that somebody was just having a really good "flashback".

Although my wife would hate those speakers, especially the cool 1803 horns, I think she would hate those 'country style' covers even more. (To say nothing of the disgusting 'skeleton' statue standing next to it...)

I guess A7s are one of those things a guy has to buy *before* he gets married...

I can't decide which is worse, living in the same house with that fabric, or with a woman that liked it...

Almost ashamed to admit that I live in Portland!
But those aren't mine!
Theatre gray baby!

Likely another victim of 'Design on a Dime' or similar another HGTV/Style Network etc. offering.

They have a great self fulfilling racket going on with that programming.

A) Find someone who wants a 'Tuscan kitchen' or 'Japanese themed' bedroom etc.
B) Send crazy design team in to theme the room with lots of weird fabrics, paints, chotchke stuff.
C) Wait for the people to be unable to sell the house, then go back with the 'we're staging everything in neutrals to sell the house quick' team.
D) repeat...

hah!

Of course, it works. I wouldn't know if I didn't watch..!
But I am wising up. ;-)
