Side by side with mega$$$ mansions. It's kinda nice to see the real deal in a glossy for once (rather than some of the generic "tiki is hot this week" wannabe articles I've seen). 5 pages no less! Sorry I don't have a scanner that works at the moment... you'll all just have to imagine it until Matt or someone else can post the pics. -Z

F foamy Tiki Socialite The Land of Pleasant Living Joined: Jun 15, 2004 Posts: 597	F foamy Posted posted on Wed, May 25, 2005 5:02 AM Nice place. Kind'a what I'd like my home to look like eventually. Great job of finding vintage stuff. That one double lamp (was that right?) is phenominal, as is everything else. That could be Dick York's pad if he turned out to be an art director instead of an executive. Samantha should have thought of that.

What a great job you've done with your pad and congrats for the well deserved exposure it's gotten. I can't wait too see it in true live form next time I make it back home to the big "D." Will look forward to meeting you and all the fellow Detroit TC'ers, hopefully in the not too distant future. Also hope you can make it out this way some time for Tiki Oasis or something.~~Cousin Dave

C cherryjane Member Tustin, CA Joined: Jun 02, 2005 Posts: 10	C cherryjane Posted posted on Thu, Jun 2, 2005 11:32 AM HO-LY Crap, Matt! Those pictures look straight out of a vintage decor/decorating book! Picture perfect! I'm way too guilty of having piles of crap around the house that would prevent my place from ever looking that great! I had to laugh at the part about the "neon glow" from outside - we just recently painted our living room chartreuse to match our vintage Asian/Oriental figurines and it's definitely eery when you're looking in at night. I love it!
