Home decor that isn't tiki in itself but the front of the house when its finished will have tiki - General Tiki

IV did not entitle his post "Tiki Home Decor" - just "Home Decor" - and as that, it all goes OK with Tiki style (even if it is not that in itself). What Dave was wondering was is WHY open a thread on its own with things that by themselves are not Tiki style. All this might seem like anal semantics and dogmatism, but there is legitimate cause to be worried about the watering down and muddling of a genre. When someone new comes to this site, which is called "Tiki CENTRAL", and opens your thread, they could assume your photos as representing "Tiki Style". Many here will say "So what if they do, who cares?" and "It's all supposed to be fun", but the fact that there are people here who do care is what makes this Tiki Central, and not some other generic home decor site.
