Just a brief update...the Lanai has mostly been on hold, but I did manage to get some lighting in there.

First, I saw this ceramic sconce at Home Depot and thought the flame shaped cut outs might work for me. There was no price tag for it, and nothing was in stock. It was apparently a wall display unit that they hadn't sold for a long time and was forgotten. The employee on the floor literally pulled it off the wall (still wired hot!) and sold it to me for $10.

After getting it home, I decided it needed some paint.

And here it is installed:

We recently got the power run to the tiki room, so we are literally seeing everything in a new light. Here's the light over the vanity in the bathroom, fully lit. It's difficult balancing visibility with tiki style lighting, since everything tends to be low light. In this case, we decided it was more important for guests to be able to see what they're doing in the bathroom!

I'm hoping to get more work done this spring, but I'm tied up with our kitchen build out, which is no fun while you are living in it!

Cheers!
