I have this old 6 foot wide reception desk that I'm thinking about giving the "tiki bar" treatment in a corner nook in our living room, to help liven up the place. (I hate bare white walls) There are glass shelves in the center, and drawers in the back of the side towers, and spaces under the glass tops for mats and curiosities. I need to look for some mats, "grass" skirting, bamboo screens, etc to resurface both the counter and the nook.

BK. Imho, that piece is awesome. My lounge and bar have layers and layers of tiki,MCM, nauitical and misc. vintage items. Pretty cluttered in some folks eyes. I Would “try” to limit the items I placed on and around that piece to Shag and MCM stuff. Maybe a large Shag or Doug
Horne print on the wall behind the station. I love matting and bamboo but to me the piece is perfect as it is.
Good luck and keep us posted.
Cheers
Btw, how did you come across that thing?
