New house, no Tiki, and the onset of Delirium Tremens - General Tiki

I guess we're all growed up now, with a 14-month old boy, careers, car payments and such. All in all, things are fantastic, but there's one little piece of me that's missing. I'd love to build a new Tiki lounge in this house, there is certainly the space. The backyard is just begging to be Tikified, as it has a pool, large patio and outdoor kitchen. However my wife has frowned on the idea, and the landlords (did I mention they are also my in-laws?!?) likely wouldn't be too impressed when they visit. And, we won't likely be living here more than a few years, so it doesn't make sense to put a lot of time and money into the surroundings. We've got a small (10x10) room that could be done up, should I bother? How do you deal with friends and family who look askance at our odd little obsession?
