Im Irish and Irish people have no idea what a Tiki is. It started 2 years ago when my wife and I decided to build some decking in the back garden, I was doing all the work myself so the deck area was designed to be huge. After the work was done I was left with loads of decking boards over, with no idea what to do with them I toyed with the idea of building flower boxes............Nahhhhhhhhhh! somewhere in my mind I have always wanted to have a bar in my own home (did I mention I'm Irish? hehehe), but there really wasnt enough room in the house. "Why not build one on the decking?" a strange little voice kept saying in my head. Yeah....yeah....why not? Almost immediately I decided on a beach bar style bar, with absolutely no idea how to build it. It was the most enjoyable thing I have ever done. Not long after building the bar the time came to decorate it and it was then that I realised that the Beach Bar idea I had in my head was actually a Tiki Bar design and I didnt know it!!!! So there we have it, Some Tiki masks sent from Hawaii all the way to Ireland and now im hooked, looking for Tiki Mugs, Volcano punch bowls, and all those spirit bottles for making lovely Cocktails. You have no idea how hard it is to get Tiki stuff in Ireland................. Anyway, thats it for now.. Hope to talk to you all later and post some pics of the Bar. Slainte Clive.
