The bamboo paneling went up pretty easily. It's damn tough to cut across, though. One roll on top of another did not cover the whole wall and for months there were about 7" of exposed drywall and white baseboards exposed near the floor. The bamboo base came later and I like it. It gives a little dimension to a cube of a room and is just high enough to cover.

The "Tahitian" mask just arrived days ago and I am thrilled with it. I had a terrific experience dealing with the folks at Oceanic Arts. I gently requested a bit of a rush on the mask and Leroy knocked it out with time to spare. Ironically, the mask arrived at my house in Philly the same day I was visiting OA in Whittier while on a business trip. I did not get to meet either of the founders that day, but I loved seeing it nonetheless.

From another angle, here is my rickety mug rack and fishing float light, also from Oceanic Arts. I have not come up with a good way to mask the pendant light fixture yet. As it is still a plain white ceiling that I intend to someday cover in matting or tapa cloth, though, I am content to leave it until then.
