Here's a few new ones of our humble basement lair...lots of new ceiling clutter added along with a couple of new tikis..

I don't think that "Clutter" is a good description, too many negative conotations. What about "Ceiling Layering"?

A layered look is what we all aspire to: from a bottom layer of Bamboo, tapa cloth, or thatch; to tikis, nautical pieces, & poly pop-analia.

Is it time to begin quantifying tiki culture? Do we need more & better descriptive terms to explain the effects we're attempting to get across? Designers have their own vocabulary of terms to explain what they're doing, architects have their own terms; I think we need something better than "kinda Shag-like", but that still includes "kinda Shag-like".

Better focus, but still broad enough to include all the different approaches to tiki this group seems to engender.
