We were talking at the Oasis and you guys had just finished the patio bar! What an amazing space, I had no idea that you had done so much prior to the patio. Our house is about 75% of where we want it to be, (the baby's room is all that's left) and it's really great to see someone else's timeline. The other day I had a lamp delivered to the office and everyone was asking what was in the big box, and when I tell them, they roll their eyes and say stuff like "I don't even want to KNOW what your house looks like..." OHHH, you'd be pretty impressed, I THINK :wink: 'Lay-people' assume tiki means tacky, which is funny, because of all the TC home bars I've seen, I've never seen anything tacky, just beautiful, creative and artistic. It was really gratifying this past weekend, we had a wedding shower and no one but the bride had been to our house before (she was our 'minister' at the Oasis wedding, so she knows...) But it was really great how all of her friends, in-laws, etc. LOVED our house, bar, art, etc. And I can guess that they would have been eye rollers, if told the party was at a house that was 'tiki'. You've set the bar (pun intended) pretty high, and I for one REALLY appreciate it! We will make it down to SD, not for the party, but someday! Mrs. Pineapple
