I loved Gerry's eccentric theme-room house, but if there's any justice in the next world then that house will be Marcellas' own little hell.

Didja see the pink flamingos in that there indoor outhouse? Pretty fancy!

Funny thing is Marc was just grousing tonight that the BB house had too many tchotches... candles/candle holders etc. He's obviously a minimalist. Being in that theme house would drive him bonkers.

Yes, Marc and Gerry are complete opposites in so many ways! I am getting sick of Marc saying hateful things about Gerry. Some were a bit funny at first but now I think it's just mean.

I wanna go visit Gerry and his family. :) Kitsch reminds me of being a kid, going to the five and dime and marveling at the variety of cheap ceramic oddities all marked Made in Japan. I ordered some more pink flamingo stuff yesterday for my collection and would love to have what Jerry has in his Florida bathroom.
After he got over the shock of seeing all that clutter, Marci might actually appreciate what a great collection of 50's "art" Gerry has.

I loved seeing Gerry's home. Somehow, I just knew if they ever showed Gerry's family at home, it would be something different, not just a plain and drab house.

I also love the fact that Gerry and his wife seem to still be so much in love, even after 28 years and that's something of a rarity today, at least in my little world.

I thought the house reflected his personality. It was fun and eccentric. I like people who know how to live in a positive space and not worry about chic. These are real people to me.

Speaking of Gerry's House ... do any of us have anything like that in your homes? A western Room, etc. you'd like to share with us ... (pics might be nice, but not necessary if the description suffices).

Regretably, I don't have anything like that, but my Father had a 'Oriental' motif in the 'Living Room' when I was growing up complete with lighted showcase of figurines and trim, etc.

Anybody else?

I have a nautical guest bath with shells and lighthouse prints, etc. My dining room has a Thai rubberwood table and a few other things. It's a work in progress-we just bought this house. It's fun though!

I have a modern cathedral ceiling style house, but it's decorated like an old English house, with lots of florals and wood.
I love glass and ceramics, and hand-made artifacts, so I have china, brass, wood, glass, etc, dolphins, elephants, and other animals, plates, and artwork of places I love from 'home' over the water, and plants everywhere, and so I guess I'm in Gerry's neighbourhood :-)
But I don't have any pink flamingos...

I loved Gerry's house. I thought it showed a lot of personality and I bet they've had so much fun putting it all together!

My bedroom is done in seashells.... even the wallpaper and drapes down to the rug on the floor... my master bath is done in lighthouses and the two shall never mix.... However my living room is in real need of a theme as it is quite eclectic.

I would love to be able to get a tour of Gerry family home... I think it would be great and I see them being very gracious hosts, unlike some hg who would be disinfecting your air space.

I'm into interesting shapes and bold colors. I'm also very into Art Deco and Art Noveau. I wish I was more into cleaning! Minimalism is a trendy bore except for in a Zen garden. Gerry's house ruled!

There is a documentary out now about eccentric American homes, wish I could remember the name. Ebert and Roeper really liked it.

Am I the only one here who doesn't see Sybil's post? That was a pretty quick deletion.

Gerry's house was... interesting. Not my style, but interesting. Shows a lot of creativity.

I've got a mermaid bathroom and my bedroom has all the constellations of the northern hemisphere on the ceiling. Makes insomniac nights easier to take!

I'm ignoring the mean personal comments..

I have a room with things I have picked up in other countries. I have a Greece shelf, a Thialand shelf and tapistries on the walls from Asia, Europe and Africa. I have a collection of diet coke cans from each country I visit. I also have A collection of Angels from around the world in a glass cabinet in my livingroom. I hope to be goint to Italy next year to get more stuff..woohoo

My house is done in the style of "early yard sale". Bits and pieces from here and there - come on over! You may see something that used to be yours! :)

When we were growing up my mom had one of those snooty neighbors with lots of money. This lady had rooms in her house the kids were banned from. My dad was in the Navy and we didn't have much money, but our house was open to all of our friends and it was packed with kids all the time. I remember one day this lady having a conversation with my mom and she asked my mom what style our house was decorated in and my mom said "early army surplus." We laughed about that for years.

LOL @ Off2cthwizrd. I love antiques and collectibles. I can never pass an antique shop without stopping in. My home is full of stuff that I don't need but just had to have. I am also an ebay addict.
