Just to make this seem more real and to get me off my arse to finally make it happen, I'm starting my own thread. (converting this room to a Tiki lounge has been my goal for about 4 years).
Here is a picture of the "to-be-tikified" room. Can you say WHITE?

I did this project last year but stalled when I got to the hearth. The bricks had been painted white long before I moved into my 1960's ranch style home. I have no idea what the original color might have been.

Next week I have a painter coming to turn my white popcorn ceiling brown.

Stay tuned..

Update 3/31
Here is the newly painted brown ceiling.

Today these shelves were cut in to make room for mugs or rum or both.

(This bar will be up for sale soon to make room for big Bertha)

Now I have to decide which to do next, carpet or walls?....

Update 4/16/10
Carpet samples have arrived, go to this thread to vote on which one you think is more tiki.
