Thank you for all the great compliments!

Thought I would post another update as we make some progress. Our goal is to have the place fully functional by the time of our inaugural Halloween party.

We splurged and bought a custom banquette for the corner opposite the bar.

Some work on the interior door. I know it's not Hawaiian, but I thought it'd be appropriate to have the phrase "Le Sacre" and "Du Sauvage" grace the top of our entry way. The doors are covered in Bacbac matting, and still need several bamboo trim pieces before they are complete.

We are adding a thatch overhang above the banquette area. Construction still underway. Cheating a bit and using modern 1x construction lumber (instead of bamboo poles and rope, which I've seen used extensively and proficiently throughout other builds!), but will plan to face it with bamboo.

An update on the table tops. They are stained and waiting to be attached to their pedestals. We plan on having two "cocktail level" tables to be placed around the banquette.

Just a couple detail shots:

And the "library section" of the bar! A few books I couldn't see going without!
