Here's some pics of our loungeroom. It's not straight tiki, but rather an eclectic mix with elements of tiki/surf, vintage/retro/kitsch, mid century modern, hot rod/kustom kulture and contemporary. It's always in a state of flux, when we get something new or different it tends to get changed around.

As the room we spend the most time in, we wanted something that reflected us and our tastes. The only major item bought new is the tv, everything else is second hand. The lounge was purchased from a mate, the cabinets are ebay or thriftstore finds, the dining table came from my grandma's and the dining chairs are ebay. The jukebox was on the side of the road awaiting a Council clean up!

This frosted glass panel was a birthday gift from a mate. it was found underneath his mother in law's house, he made the timber frame for it and gave it to me.

This painting was done by Dutch artist Herr Rudolph, and features Liana in a leopard print dress and pith helmet on my Von Franco Dyno. The tiki is my first carving. The buddy christ used to live on the dash of my ol '72 beetle which was bright yellow and had taxi signage, fun car.

We've regigged the cabinets since the above pics, here's a look inside the tiki ones. The glass has been removed to avoid the reflections. This is the cabinet next to the jukebox

And the cabinet next to the door
