there are some people around my neighborhood who have seen fit to put a large bright round stained glass piece in their front window, featuring a swan. Others have put dozens of yards of bright chrome railing around their house. Some of the birdbaths with little cherubs in them are noteworthy, too.

Me, I like trees, shrubs, ivy and flowerbeds. But I'm just a dull kind of guy.

Apparently the bear was shot by her father; though I have to question the wisdom of consistently appearing on camera with dead animals.

My sofa doesn't look much different, though Molly ,my brown Newf, generally lays on her back when she sleeps.

I totally want that bear! XD

I'm a tacky person, I admit.. but what I DESPISE is "Southwestern" decor.

Thanks, ametc, as I was reading the thread I was trying to figure out how to describe the decoration of a house I've seen. Turns out it's Southwestern, but with more...deadness.
A dog breeder me and the wife went to visit in Virginia brought us in his "trophy room." Bears, deer, a lot of other stuff I can't remember and even a fucking baby zebra. WTF. A lot of them were posed, some of them were heads on the wall.
We both felt sick to our stomach, since we're not really big on hunting.
I woulda been fine with most of it, but the baby zebra was too damn much.

We actually could do an entire thread on 1970s decor, if you want to epitomize "tacky." Anyone remember avocado-colored refrigerators? Shag carpets?
