We just moved into this house and the basement bar was done in a Tudor/Olde English pub fashion some time in the 70s. I've basically just unpacked everything and wired in a couple of lights. I haven't done any real renos to it yet, but I've got a few ideas. I'm definitely open to anyone's suggestions, keeping in mind that materials are a bit slim up here.

I don't mind the fake stone or dark wood grain. But the brass fireplace screen has to go...

I managed to get this couch thrown in with the house (most people ask how much they dropped the price for us to keep it)

Here's the bar.

The stereo and the standard tiki salad utensils.

The cheapo mugs.

Various statues and Asian-themed mugs.

The Shag Pink Panther shrine.

Most of the good mugs and books.

The statue on the bottom was a gift from a good friend. I didn't have the heart to post it in the "Bad Tiki Gift" thread.

That wallpaper needs to be destroyed! So, any tips for a relative neophyte? I know it doesn't look like much yet, but I'm hoping to do something great with it. Maybe some kind of thatch in the ceiling tiles? Definitely new wallpaper. And I've got to get some bamboo in there somehow...
