We moved into our house in Huntington Beach a little over a year ago. It's a 3 story house, with the living room, dining room and kitchen on the middle floor. We decided to turn this space into our lil' tiki hut.
This was when we originally moved in

We painted the walls Macadamia Nut colored...little dog approved.

My husband and father had to figure out all the paneling part.

Paneling done, and framed. The start of getting what we already had up on the walls. The corner hutch in the corner was originally pink so I painted it to match our theme and coming up soon I've got plans to tiki hut it out some more with bamboo, thatch and do some burned patterns into the trim.

The other side...we've actually added quite a bit more to this corner since I last took photos.

This is the opposing wall to the long wall we did. It was fun watching them figure out the bamboo framing for that! (Gates are to keep dogs in!)

This is the bar my husband and I built when we first started living together(the start of it all). Unfortunately in this space we can't really use it as a bar and its a little bit too big as well. So we have plans to pull it apart and redo it so that its a front opening cabinet to store booze.

We've done some more work since I took these photos and have a lot more plans to get this space to be over the top tiki...just takes time and money plus does adding stuff really ever end?
