Is my bathroom wall art ‘tacky’

[Kelzzinsouth]

Please settle a light hearted disagreement…Hubster says the new photo/poster I’ve put up in the downstairs loo will be considered ‘tacky’ by any visitors.

It’s the Mona Lisa but she’s holding her nose - you can see it on Google.

YABU - I agree with your Hubster
YANBU - it’s harmless

Do you have any local art fairs/exhibitions? My parents have in their kitchen a lovely still life by a talented local artist which they got from an art fair.

I have the 3 giraffes in a bath in my loo so can't criticise. Sounds fine OP, if you like it keep it.

YABU for saying hubster

I think it's funny. I have a picture of a cat holding toilet with the caption 'Your butt napkins my lady" in my downstairs toilet. I love it!

Yes it is tacky but iant that part of the fun. I knew someone who when you open their toilet door the first lines of cocacobana sing outfrom a speaker. Their toilet was amazon jungle themed too

No opinion on your art but si bet with myself that you wouldn’t make it past page 1 without comments on how awful ´hubster’ is.
I don’t mind it, personally.

I bought a sign that says ‘VIP ROOM’ for the downstairs loo but I chickened out when I got home.

Footballers' wives.

Not my taste but not my house either, so there you go.

I’d be more deeply concerned about the use of the phrase “hubster”.

It is tacky, but life is too short to not do harmless things that bring you joy for fear of other people's opinions.

I have some truly tacky duvet and pillow covers but they make me happy so I don't care what anyone else thinks about them. This week it's the dinosaur set, next week is magical kittens.

Does women’s wee smell worse than men’s? Sorry I don’t get the anatomy reference?🤔

Poster - tacky.
Hubster - 🤢🤢🤢

Are we still jumping on hubby and hubster and insulting people over it?
I thought that was passé now and we'd moved on to taking swipes at something else harmless and inconsequential.

You haven't smelt dhs odeur. And I got two teen sons and it's not even close. Even his mum tells him not to have a dump at her place.

Hubster? 🙄

Of course it’s tacky.
What other way could it be described? It’s not sophisticated is it.

@Kelzzinsouth I think you need to step it up a bit, just for your husband.

Get a normal Mono Lisa print (same size) and two matching frames. Put the normal one on the outside of the toilet door and the pinching nose one on the inside of the door. 😃

Doesn't really matter what others think of it. It's your home and it's a harmless picture. People have such a widely varied tasted you'd never find anything everyone likes or find amusing. I'd have thought most people wouldn't be pass much thought on it after they left the room, even if they dislike it. Those that don't are just the judgemental type, so will have unimportant opinions on everything. You can't do anything about them.

Though I do think your husband should actually like the decorations in his house too. Does he dislike the picture or is he just concerned what others think?

The best thing about this thread is the unanimous outrage at ‘hubster’ 😆

How about husband?

It's such a tacky way to refer to one's hubalub.

In fairness, if the op had posted that she had found a print that simply said "Poos are smelly," she probably would have had a completely different response. That really would not be funny.

The joke here is that at first glance it looks like a familiar art work. On second glance you notice the nose hold, have a split second of asking yourself why, then realise you are in a toilet, you are the "butt" of a joke in which the Mona Lisa seems to be interacting with you at a moment of a certain lack of dignity.

I mean it still isn't hilarious imo, but there are layers that simply would not exist with a sign that simply said: "Poos are smelly."

Do you like it? If you do it doesn’t matter what anyone on here says. In any case none of us is likely to be needing to use your loo. If it makes you smile then who cares if strangers on a discussion forum think it’s tacky.

Slight derail but if this is an ongoing issue and not just an occasional incident after a very garlicky meal or similar, do you think he should get checked out?

I'm not really sure having our own formula of "odeur" such that family ban us from their loos is normal is it?

Yes it’s tacky, but so is ‘hubster’ so it’s all good,

Do you have ‘Live Laugh Love’ on the living room wall as well?

Someone was posting the other day that they had a stuffed dead mouse on a cross with the caption "Cheesus" and not everyone thought that was tacky. The op found it hilarious.

I think this is pretty inoffensive in comparison: it isn't disrespectful of anyone's religion, there is no "cheesy" wordplay, and, most importantly, no mice were harmed.
