Mike, I think everyone would be interested in the painting article.
Trav, Very cool bar. The matting looks like the Mai Kai for sure, but does look like a bit of a pain. Did you ever try to stick it flat up there, or had you always planned on swagging it?
Hey Kilikopela, I was bummed we didn't get to talk more when ya'll were here.
Here's some more photos.
Lava rock edging the walkways matches the lava rock flowerbed by the front door. Holes in the rock wall behind the pool used to house one of the many water features.

This is the main room of the lower pod. The plaster ceiling looks like cake frosting. The brass cones are star effect lighting. On the right you can see one of the fiberglas doors with embedded crabs and starfish, etc. The kitchen has black river rock counters and an embedded mechanism where you can set your blender pitcher right in with no base needed. Very handy!
Bathroom in lower pod. Look closely by the tub and imagine what it's like to do your business on the counter. lol
Main room in upper pod. Witco dining set on left. Crystals in ceiling all light up different colors. There's a hatch up there where you can climb in and change the bulbs. Someone who used to live there told me there's secret passageways to go from one pod to the other. Unverified by me, but could explain the ease with which certain unmistakeable smells have wafted between the two floors of the upper pod. Colorful walls are carpet sculpture(now gone), and the middle windows are fiberglas with PVC rings- some colored in various shades. Not seen on the right is a wall fountain with a mermaid sculpture, planter and gas fire outlet.
Bar in upper pod.
Kitchen in upper pod. Yes- two kitchens!

Might head that way next week. If they let me in to take pics I'll post them.
