Looking at all the great Tiki arts & craft projects and home Tiki bars on Tiki Central is truly awe inspiring. I would love to use my creativity to build out a complete bar of my own, with lush tropical vegetation, miles of split bamboo, and lighting just bright enough to see the drink sitting directly in front of you. Alas, my resources and living situation do not allow me to fully indulge my Tiki fantasies. However, I was able to put together a Tiki-fied shelf beneath my usual rotating collection of LPs-as-wall-art, if only for the summer season.

Here's a close up of just the shelf area...that matchbook in the middle next to the wood carved fallen Tiki is from Lani Kai in NYC. :)

Lighting makes all the difference!

Check out the right and left sides of the shelf in greater detail...

I know it ain't much to look at, but it makes me smile. :) I thought you'd all get a kick out of my little slice of Tiki paradise. Enjoy!
