I am back in California once again and the Portland Hoodoo Room is no more. A little sad...

However, that means I get to re-create the Hoodoo Room once again with a brand new blank canvas!

All the Tiki stuff is in the room now but 75% is still in boxes.

Also, while our movers did an awesome job with the packing, the labeling was a little vague, so I'm scrambling to find stuff and the house is probably going to be an ongoing puzzle for a couple of months.

The Hoodoo Room is BIGGER and now has back glass doors that open out to a PATIO which is cool. It also has built-in shelves and a brick gas fireplace with mantle shelf.

On the down side, the front entrance is five foot wide and has no door to keep out pesky kids and small white dogs.

I've currently closed off the entrance with a couple of bookcases, but am planning to build a five panel screen using large outdoor shutters or perhaps louvered closet doors.

Also, I can't paint the room. I sorta got away with painting the last place but this time is a no go. However, I will hang a lot of art and maybe some tapa cloth.

In any case, here are some progress pics. Really no progress, but it shows the starting point...
