Among Eichler owners, there is almost a rabid "thou shalt only decorate with Danish modern" or the Eichler Gestapo will get you. Face it. There are people who get their jollies by proving how much they know and who see sneering at Poly Pop as a way to prove they are conisseurs. I have friends who are Eichler owners--they are much more reasonable than some--and I remember saying to them that I wanted to take an Eichler floorplan and expand it to 3000 square feet. I recall the utter horror of (1) building a fake Eichler and (2) expanding it for today's living.

Tiki is a subset of Midcentury Modern. Tiki snobs like Midcentury Modern snobs really deserve the middle finger--in my opinion--because they are incapable of grasping that what they are into is meant to be enjoyed and that as hobbyists--for lack of better term--they are ambassadors of knowledge to those who have no desire to be as gonzo crazy on the topic.

I don't subscribe to Atomic Ranch because it comes across more like an autopsy of museum pieces rather than a presentation of houses that are enjoyed and cherished.
