I have finally started working on the Kona Launii. But first I have a little cleaing to do.

There is a basement in there somewhere.

Just have to find it.

Now that our 15 month old is finally starting to out grow some of this baby stuff we have been saving from our first daughter, we can finally start getting rid of some of this crap. Absolutely amazing how much baby 'stuff' we have.

Have finally moved enought stuff I can start painting the wall and the ceiling.

The far half of the main room (beyond the stairs) will stay non-tiki for the kids for a few more years. The other half is all mine.

Getting up some ceiling paint.

And the stairway down from the kitchen.

Starting with some brown for background.

A half and half wall along the back.

The top half gets orange.

The last white wall gets a dark honey gold color (hard to see in pic), but gets covered with thach anyway. It is just a background color so white does not show through.

Starting to thach the back half and half wall. Again, the brown bottom half is just so white will not show through.

Attaching with a staple gun and trimming around the baseboards.

Attaching the larger thach (stape gun) on the yellow wall.

That's what I have for now, but have finally started working it. This batch of pics encompassed a full weekend worth of work (Fri night thru Sun night) with my wife and kids out of town so I could work uninterupted. Another set of pics to follow with more progress.
