What's more fun?... - General Tiki

My wife and I just moved into a new house and there was an existing room in the basement that I had announced would be the home of my full-on tiki bar. (my previous bar had started off in a more bastardized mix of vintage cocktail shakers, glasses and vintage barware) I drew up my plan and had a great time locating the supplies - a roll of matting from Oceanic Arts, shelf brackets from Ikea, fabric to upholster my oak bar, floor matting and bamboo from Pier One, thatching from Bamboo Hardwoods, etc. I found myself disappointed when I was completed because I had such a great time building it. But, like many others have mentioned, the bar keeps growing and changing and that's why it stays fun! Someone on TC once said that a tiki bar is never finished and I'd have to agree.
