Ironically we've been out photographing tiki bars all over the place ... and making progress on the TI Room. Lots of progress! Thanks everyone for the comments so far. We'll try a touch of sepia tint (or maybe even amber shellac?) in the clearcoat to seal the ducts. Yes, they were all handpainted ... the images were taken from a vintage menu from the Sheraton Kon-Tiki. Marie drew them to size, Mike copied them onto cardboard templates, and then we both painted with that. The star ceiling is done, the Wreck Bar room is already "underwater" and nearly done, we're thinking mai-tais by late June. We'll post some longish updates, with photos, in a few days. And Mr. Smiley, this is a little late, but we're L and M respectively!
