Well I still have no pictures to post yet... just a bedroom with most of the walls covered with PNG artifacts still being acquired. The reality for me is that I just about have to have the whole thing decorated in my mind before I even know the spacing on the wall panels. This means I need all of the "foundation" level larger sized wall hanging artifacts acquired first... then and only then can I know the spacing of all of the Lauhala matting panels with trim boards.

I know for myself being seriously OCD this is kind of driving me crazy trying to get almost every detail worked out in advance. As stated here many times before by others who have already made this journey... I need to have all of my wiring figured out before everything is finished up. I have not even purchased the first Lauhala mat yet and I'm already beginning to feel a little exhausted.

It really makes you appreciate even more what others here have already achieved over the years with their painstaking hard work on their own home Tiki bars. I absolutely love this wonderful hobby/lifestyle but sometimes I wonder if I have bitten off more than I can chew. I hope I live long enough to see this project completed even to the initial build out. I know a good Tiki bar is never truly finished but I think yall know what I am trying to say here. I need a nap...
