Here is a shot of the beginning of the small shelf unit that will be behind the door:

I am making it out of pine and it has holes drilled in each side so I can adjust the shelves or add more as I need to. For now, there will be no lighting directly on the unit. Just a glow from above, on the ceiling, and light coming from the recess in the wall.

In this shot, I have stained the unit and have painted the wall it's base coat to go behind the bamboo:

I have also added the sea grass on the edge of the roof. As of right now, I have only added a strip of the sea grass right on the edge. It only goes back about 12" or so. I will be doing layers on the roof to make sure it is done to where I like it.

Walls painted up, threw some shelves on and just cutting and sizing the bamboo:

Here's one wall with the bamboo on:

The bottom will have a 3.50" dark wood baseboard. Pretty much around the whole room and it will all tie together through the custom furniture or whatever woodworking I do.

Next shot with both walls:

Each side of the doorway will have 4" bamboo either side.

Here is a shot of this side of the room with the edge of sea grass up:

I kind of like this shot as you can now see the shape of the roof much better.
The wood hanging from it is just helping to flatten the grass down a bit. I accidentally attached a small section upside down (upside down being the direction the grass was naturally going) so I had to do this to help me flatten it out a bit. It worked, well, along with a few sprays of water too!!

Here is a shot from under the roof looking out to the rest of The Zombie Hideaway:

Not the best of photos but you can kind of get the idea of the two sections of roofing.
