here's some long overdue shots of the BAMBOO BUNKER, my home bar......ENJOY!!

The entire room was built from the ground up.....all new walls, new electric, new plumbing, new cabinets, stove and sink, etc.....The bar/island was made from 2 kitchen cabinet units.....i joined them together, with the cabinet drawers and doors facing the stove and sink and then took the crappy side that is supposed to face the wall and cut out custom display cases with lighting and plexi-glass windows.....covered it in faux leopard and bamboo.......the carving holding up the soffit was one of 4 from the old rock-a-tiki bar..it was from oceanic arts. custom cut a standard counter top from home depot to fit...the knick-knack shelves were $5 each at ikea!! The big tiki in the fore-ground is a foam tiki from united airlines..

here's a close-up of the display case.....the floors are cement, so i used that epoxy paint from home depot that comes with the little flecks and chips that you scatter into the drying paint.....gives it a sandy beach look and is easy to clean up spilled mai tais off of......

more pics to follow soon.....
