It's easy to object to something like this if a person has no imagination or any sense of humor. So many neighborhoods in California are "Conformington Acres" where every house looks just like the one across the street and down the block. These people are wound so tight that any deviation from "bleige" (blah + beige if that's possible) is heresy. My wife and I have friends that are amazed that we have an entire home filled with late 50's early 60's furniture and decorations including toys etc. for our 4 year old and they say "You guys are so free, we could never do that." So many people are so afraid to color outside the lines. Now that we are planning "PolyAmnesia" (our Polynesian/Early 60's Americana patio and garden), they stare at us like "How do you know how to think that way?" Here in Bakersfield my wife and I are the weirdos because where PolyAmnesia is being put is a motorhome/RV parking space in the back yard and we don't have one. RV pads were a selling point for the houses in this tract and everyone and his cat and dog has a monstrosity parked in the side yard on the glorious RV pad. The neighbors know we're off our rockers so this will result in rolled eyes. Be bold I say and keep pushing the boundaries. Life is too short to be noncreative or nonrecreative for that matter.
