Home is Where the Couch Is

I fucking hate...

Themed homes- While I understand that different people have different aesthetics, there is a certain amount of class in realizing where in the world you live and owning it. For example, throwing doilies on your coffee tables does not turn your NYC studio loft into a New England bed and breakfast. Or, more specifically to my locale, throwing hay down in your front yard and getting a mailbox shaped like a barn with a cow on the front of it does not turn your suburban box into a country ranch. It actually looks pretty fucking dirty. Similarly, I will never understand why people feel the need to pretty up their bathroom in the styles of lame, white-people getaway spots, like the beach or a mountain cottage. Decorative spheres of twine and seashells do not make your poop smell better. Although I guess to be fair, my bathroom is full of dinosaurs and unicorns and pictures of a dog on a bicycle, so I guess I did go for a theme with my bathroom and that theme turned out to be "things that are awesome." So really, I guess what I really hate are boring, white-people themed homes. Do not model your home after either a bed and breakfast, a country cottage, or a shore house (unless it actually is one of those things, and even then only do so reluctantly) and I won't want to take a shit in your living room.

But I do still fucking kind of like...

Awesomely inappropriately themed homes- Is your living room decked out like a graveyard? Do you have an office done up to look like the bridge of a spaceship? Did you transform your bathroom from an "ocean shore-house" to a "rat-infested pirate brig?" I doubt you have as I have yet to meet anyone who has, but seriously, these ideas are all gold. Let's get the fuck on this, people.
