At the urging of TC's own Little Lost Tiki, I'm posting this because he thought some of the 'ohana might like to see it. My daughter Caris is a first year interior design student. For her final project in her summer class, she has had to come up with a theme, then design and create a mock-up interior for an elevator. Because she's surrounded by tiki culture all day long in the shop (House of Tiki), what else would she design but a tiki/mid-century modern themed elevator? I'm pretty proud of her efforts for a few reasons:
According to Liloti, it's a pretty "swanky" elevator. We take that as the highest compliment! Mahalos Kinny...you're awesome.

Pretty cool! I especially like how she made faux bamboo from craft sticks. Nice mask art, too - very authentic retro vibe. |

The problem with an elevator like that is that you wouldn't want to leave, and eventually security would have to be called. Great job! |

This makes me want to take all the clothes out of my walk-in closet and convert it into a "standing room only" tiki elevator so I can listen to my exotica music as my imagination escapes into the womb-like tiki palaces of my mind. |

Ben; She considered calling it "TikiOtis", but thought it might go over the class's heads (no pun intended). She was right; it did. Cammo; It DID have red Shag carpeting (the actual..great minds think alike), but she decided to keep it bamboo because it would easier to clean up party fouls, aka spilt rum (who does that?). Mahalos everyone for your cool comments and again Kinny for your kind kokua. She texted me from class today and said she got 150 points of a possible 150, so I guess her prof liked it too. I'm pretty sure this won't be the end of her tiki theme designs, so she'll be in good company. Pua |

That's a great little elevator, now it just needs a tiki bar to take you to, though I guess bar building probably won't be a class project any time soon. |
