The House of Blues (or Reds and Purples and Blacks)

I'm a big believer in being true to one's self.  Yet for some reason, I can't reflect that when it comes to decorating my house.  I love all sorts of stuff, from Asian art to comic books, Mystery Science Theater and a man named Bruce.  So in trying to make my house more me, I think it's time for some serious redecorating. 

Now, the Asian art and stuff, I'm practically OD'ing on it, especially in my living room.  But that's not all I want to do.  My ideal house would have movie posters, a blend of classics such as Evil Dead and Enter the Dragon, and others such as The Black Swan (Tyrone Power not Natalie Portman) and Notorious.  Oh, and comic book posters too.  But isn't that overkill?  I have three bedrooms, and really not one of them is ME.  Should I make each room a theme?  Or just throw it all together and hope it looks eclectic and not totally ridiculous?

I don't really entertain since I live so far out in the sticks and I don't blame my friends for not coming to see me.  But on the rare occasion I get a visit, I do want them to think "This is so you."  And I'm just not there yet.

I have a few decks of Tarot that I would love to use in my bedroom, in traditional and non-traditional Tarot reading styles, and place them on my walls, but I've got wood paneling in there and I think it would look plain tacky.  And I'm anything but tacky.  ;)
