OK...lounge is in the process of being painted (3 walls). Found out the ceiling is only 14 (not 16) feet. :) Good news though...my Von Franco Tiki Cruiser can be hung over my fridge...I am thrilled about that...I think it will look great there.

I really wanted an oatmeal color, but it looks more goldenrod...which, in the end, will be fine as a contrast for the bamboo. The painting will be done tomorrow and hopefully the bike will get hung too. I was going to have tikis stenciled on the walls, but found out what I bought was for an airbrush, so no stencils. I will eventually have enough artwork to add the necessary pizazz to the walls anyway. I plan on vibrant mats with bamboo-style frames...all in good time, and have some art already collected.

Got a wicker cabinet for the booze and (thanks to someone here on TC) was able to get it darkened up with varnish so it will blend with the bar.

I still need a custom made overhead stemware storage rack/thatch roof thingy for over the bar...may have to wait till next year for that and hopefully a Bamboo Ben ceiling (I'm still dreaming of that). Must rob bank...must rob bank...must rob bank!!!! :D

I'll be back with progress pics later.

FATIMA BLUSH: Oh, how reckless of me. I made you all wet.
JAMES BOND: Yes, but my martini is still dry.
