What's the name of your home tiki bar or tiki space? - Home Tiki Bars

We were a happy couple with three dogs, a slightly larger mortgage and two new cars - I was buying the supplies (matting, thatch, liquor, mugs, etc.) and was about to embark on building my home tiki bar, I spent many a night dreaming of my faux paradise - life was good. But 3 months and a positive EPT test later that was about to change. Suddenly the tiki bar would have to take a backseat to building the baby arsenal. To make a long story shorter I started referring to the baby, whose sex we had not cared to determine, Pi-Yi. So in honor of our soon-to-be son I named the bar after him. Originally it was the Pi-Yi Lanai but I didn't get a lanai vibe from the windowless room in the basement so it was then changed to the Pi-Yi Grotto which for me always had an exotic sensuality thanks to Hugh Heffner. I have to post updated pics - the other photos located elsewhere on Tiki Central are when the bar was in the early stages of completion and are pretty lame...ah what the hell here is my favorite of the old pics...
