They mentioned lots of Hawaiiana items and hula related furnishings but did not mention the presence of any tikis whatsoever. They also did a fine job throwing in plugs for every mainstream company that is now capitalizing on the whole retro Hawaiian thing. The writer of the article abused the word tiki throughout - and the homeowners blew the illusion of being possible tikiphiles by mentioning they serve their drinks with flamingo stirrers...ugh! If the house is in fact tiki then show me or at least tell me about the tikis!! Just my thought... Johntiki :drink:
