I pretty much wanted to start this Home Tiki Bar thread to hopefully lay claim to the name "Jungle Oasis" as our Tiki bar. If there is already a home Tiki bar with that name I could not find it. I have already started the daunting process of collecting items/supplies for this project but I know the Tiki bar of my dreams is going to set me back a lot of clams.

Our Tiki bar will be spread over two floors and three rooms (one being a dedicated Head Hunter/Tiki themed theater) with an adjoining 2nd floor entry raised outdoor deck. We have huge plans and have been inspired beyond belief by what I have seen here on this forum, in the book Polynesiacs and on you-tube. I know this project is going to take us at least a few years to complete and I hope we enjoy the journey even though the costs are intimidating.

Although the final completion of the "Jungle Oasis" Tiki bar may be years away... we have already started trying to become experts at consuming delicious Tiki cocktails at home. It is truly fun trying to make new cocktails each week and testing them out to find our favorites. This is one aspect of the Tiki lifestyle that fortunately can be enjoyed immediately.

I have had many hobbies and collected many things over my lifetime with several collections already being bought/sold. I am truly hoping collecting Tiki and the Tiki lifestyle is going to be the one that I will enjoy till the end of my days. Sorry there are no pics yet... but I kind of want to show the finished product when it is complete.
