MEGA mahalos for the compliments, BK! Glad ya'll were able to come to the coast for a few days and hang with us. It was a mighty fine time. Tell Nikki and Lea we said hello and arf-arf! Swank and Steph are mighy fine folks too.

All of my inspiration for this project has come from vintage postcards and other ephemera and I'm trying to stay true to that vibe. No new school here. OLD SCHOOL RULZ!!! The only new stuff going in here (if I can help it) is reproductions of vintage accoutrements and what-not. Shooting for the mid-century tiki/trader look.

TODAYS UPDATE--sorry, no pics yet--- I taped off my 'grout lines' with duct tape and painted the floor with a heavy-duty, oil-based garage floor paint. I used gloss black with a little hunter green thrown in to soften the starkness a little. The gloss gives it a sort of wet look and catches reflections of the lights over head. I'll pull the tape off tommorrow if it's dry and hopefully post some pics.
Mahalos, Ya'll!!
