Marc Leslie and Liz Kolonay have the tackiest house on their block. In fact, they have the tackiest house in Oregon Hill.

“It’s just a mismatch of lights and blow molds, and nothing is symmetrical,” Kolonay says. “Our only rule is: nothing parallel. It’s gaudy, … but it’s mesmerizing.”

Every inch of their tiny Oregon Hill yard is stuffed with items, such as a Santa, baby Jesus or the world’s ugliest little angel (at least, that’s how Kolonay describes it). It’s the kind of house that you need to stand in front of and stare at for a while.

“There’s a lot of detail,” Leslie says. “We pride ourselves on detail.”

He doesn’t have an exact count of their lights, but says one friend summed it up best by saying “it looked like Kmart threw up on our house.”

They favor eclectic, vintage finds, such as Santa blow molds from the 1940s, old-school Nativity scenes and anything left on their porch by neighbors and friends. The couple gravitates toward items with a sense of humor, such as a giant blowup Nativity scene a local day care donated because “it scared the children.”

Limos have started inching down the narrow street on Tacky Lights tours, and neighbors come out in droves to see the lights.
