I'd like to officially say hello to everybody on this board! I've been lurking for quite some time and I'm very happy to have found this place! I've been a huge fan all all things tiki for as long as I can remember. My wife and I bought our first house last year so I haven't had a space to start building any type of collection until then. After adjusting to paying the mortage payments :wink: I've started to slowly tikify (is that a word?) our home. I thought I'd share a few photos of the progress so far. I've seen many pictures of some homes here that are amazing. I hope to eventually create my own little island paradise in my house.

Except for the pool, our backyard was a barren desert wasteland when we bought the house. Over the last few weeks I've planted over 3 dozen palm trees and other plants. You can see my Target tikis in this photo. I wish I had the means to obtain some of the awesome carvings I've seen here, but for now the Target tikis are OK with me. I'm going to be building a water fall in the center between all of the palms, but not until winter...its just too hot here now!

I just completed this work in our dining area. Just some simple cabana matting and some new molding, but I think it looks pretty cool.

I found this cool wall hanging at a local flea market. I know its not really tiki but I thought it looked pretty nice.

Other than my Target tikis, this is my only other one. I just found it at a local store and I don't know anything about it. Its about 5 feet tall.

Thanks for looking and thanks to everybody here for sharing so many wonderful things!
