My Living room tiki build has begun!

This past weekend we painted the walls and laid a brand spanking new hardwood floor. Next the ceiling will be wired for many hanging lamps on a dimmer switch, then the bamboo matting will go on the ceiling, and bamboo will trim everything. Enough chit-chat, here are some photos!

Desk View - Before, with Brian who's here to help paint.

TV view - Before. The shelves are empty and the furniture is ready to be moved into the diningroom.

Patio Door View - Before

Three coats of paint make for good coverage and a smooth texture.

The first row of flooring goes down using deck screws.

The boys get to work laying the flooring.

The floor has been half laid.

Desk View - the floor is done and now the desk, trim, shelving & furniture has to be moved back in.

Hardwood floor in Exotic Longstrip Cherry. Note the character, lots of variation. Sweeeet. Reminds me of bamboo flooring a bit, with those thin strips.

Future Bar Area View - note the bamboo matting that will be mounted to the ceiling, but not until I stain it the same colour as the desk. Also, wiring must first be installed in the ceiling, enough to handle at least 12 hanging lamps.

Desk View - The desk is back in, but still in need of more bamboo trim and the computers still need to be moved back in.

TV View - The baseboard trim, shelves and some furniture is back in. The speakers have been mounted with bamboo trim to hide the wiring.

A Naughty Little Wiggle
