Looks great Fink!

How about some details about how you did the bamboo wall? Your bamboo wall has inspired me to add one to my basement. Did you split the poles? How are they attached?

Please spill the beans if you don't mind giving up a trade secret.

Obviously I painted the wall green first. Then I cut all the poles I needed to length and split them in half with a sharp hand axe. I attatched them to the wall using a hot glue gun, but I used a gun that was very hot along with glue that was especialy made for wood. I'm doing the same thing for all the bamboo trim too. I'm sure there are better ways to do it, but I'm on the smallest budget ever, and I'm kind of learning as I go.

Thanks for all the interest and all the kind words everyone!
