Finally got enough done to post.

We started with a bonus room over the garage.

We ran low voltage wiring over the ceiling and randomly selected many places for lights to be wired in. I'm loving the SimFlame system. It creates 3 different channels of flicker in the lights so they don't all flicker simultaneously. You can set the speed and intensity of flicker, or set it to not flicker.

Progress shot. We did all the work ourselves, (except several areas painted by Crash), and got tons of bargains from Craigslist, online close-out sales, junk stores, etc.

Art by Thor in the background.

Window seat area. I think that basket is crying out for a Tiki Tony driftwood Toucan.

Ceiling tapa painted by Crash. Still need window valance trim

Detail of bamboo end caps. We ran rope light inside much of this bamboo trim at the top of the wall. Needed to cap it and found these pieces of furniture? at auction. They were beams with one of these at each end and we cut them off and mounted them to seal the light in. I know, these are Indonesian, but in my world a tiki room can be a little of a lot of things.

Bamboo fencing hides bookshelves.

Doors hide desk nook carved out of attic space. Now you see it.

Now you don't

Ship salvage lights in desk area

The Doug Horne print I won on his TC thread

His sketch for the print. My little tiki room surprise.

My bat... I mean tiki signal. If I ever need help drinking I'll turn it on. So if you see this, ya'll come on over!

Mahalo for looking!
