Capricorn's Folly - our teeny tiny tiki kitchen hangout - Home Tiki Bars

We still have one piece of bamboo to put up along the top of the lauhala in the feature wall though! We used thick acrylic gel to fill in the gaps between the bamboo, so rope to hide that will be next! The space at the bottom of the lauhala and the paint will be covered with some wood that i need to dremel and stain. Many thanks to RichC too! He posted about using sticky drawer liner to cover his mini fridge in his home bar, The Grasscutters Club, which is where we got the idea to cover our fridge! We also will need something to hide the gap on the right. The left cupboard is set far enough out that the door can open without bumping into the bamboo, but the right cupboard is much closer, so we needed a gap there. We're thinking of filling it in, then painting in the same colour and width as the bamboo, and getting some sort of fake hanging plant/vine to cover it. And below is a view to the stove. We still need to finish painting behind there, but all the stamping is done! Many thanks for the words of encouragement too!! I felt a little nervous posting because everyone's tiki bars are so huge and amazing (not to mention that I have no building experience outside of assembling/swearing at ikea furniture!) but the replies have been so kind! :)
