Love the house, I too think it has great potential! You just need a little imagination to transform it into a Tiki Paradise. More importantly it has...SPACE! Loads of it too!!! Did I say you just need a little imagination? I was never a realist, you need a lotta dosh too, of course. Sadly, we're out!

Here's a virtual(?) postcard of our humble abode here in England. We call it TIKI TOWERS. It's a relatively small (by American standards)three storey town house. It is in a block of four, each one being the corner. Image a square in plan divided into quarters. There are 8 blocks making a total of 32 houses. A pretty cool little estate, if I say so myself. Great mixture of residents too! A real little paradise here in the heart of Surrey and only a hour and a half from the newly opened MAHIKI in London. Just gets better! Any one want to know when the next one comes up for sale?

If you look real hard you can see a tiki face lookin' right back at ya, ha, ha! The Moai over the door keeps an eye out for us. I'm trying to work out how to get a flame out of the top knot without burning the place down or having to fit miles of gas piping. Any ideas? I thought maybe a gas canister from a patio heater might do the trick?

As for the inside...Hummmmmmmmmmmmm! It'll be along time before we post pictures of that I'm afraid, but when we do! We think you'll like it. We're aiming for 50s modern with a tiki twist! A tiki rock and definitely a tiki roll! Cha, cha, cha! Mahalo!
