I also did a kahiki shrink behind a glass and with lights in the living room, with other stuff from Don's, vic's...such as menus, mugs, postcards... I'm really happy to have that great painting in my bar. And, yes, it's an original Robb Hammel (the first of the Nuku Hiva valley serie), and I love it.

I did intend to build one from scratch (bamboo) but was persuaded to "just buy one" "cheap" Anyway all this is now packed away in my Parents RV garage her in Prescott as since losing my job due to the economy and having challenges of re-employment, my wife decided I needed to go. Anyway It will be rebuilt, one day, hopefully in a Ralph Haver fixer upper. Thats my goal anyway.

Ok so here is the Mobile Tiki Bar...(its on wheels... 8) ) I got a great deal on the bamboo, £3.50 for a 3m length that had a diameter of 8cm... I purchased 10 poles... :D I was thinking about adding a footrest just to finish it off??? Here is a pic from one of my Luau's (Im the one behind the bar while everyone enjoys themselves...) I might add that it was a typical English night in July, it tipped it down all night, but hey after a few cocktails everyone soon forgot about the rain... :lol: And Finally, I know its not a Tiki Bar but I thought I would post a pic of my Hawaiian Themed photo board I made, you know where you put your head through and have your photo taken... :P Cheezy I know... :wink:

I just went thru a quick scan of all 18 pages. No doubt there's a huge love for tiki style here. Makes me want to make a drink and kick back. I don't have a bar, yet, but all of the eye candy here is a great inspiration. WOAH! Here's a couple shots of my backyard/space. This first one is just after a torrential downpour. (I love those as long as I'm home) This second image reminds me of a dark mysterious lagoon.

B Bincho Member Novato, CA Joined: Sep 02, 2006 Posts: 67	B Bincho Posted posted on Sat, Jun 6, 2009 7:44 PM I had my original outdoor bar construction up (See page 8 of this thread for my starting pics)over the last 2 years and have been adding a tiki hut annex to it this year. Hopefully the neighbors don't get too fed up. There is actually a functional second floor that I built in, with a drop down rope ladder- Thatching the whole thing might be too crazy, and I need the sun for my plants.

B Brandomoai Tiki Socialite Edmonton, AB, Canada Joined: Mar 05, 2008 Posts: 329	B Brandomoai Posted posted on Mon, Jun 15, 2009 10:33 PM We just moved into this house and the basement bar was done in a Tudor/Olde English pub fashion some time in the 70s. I've basically just unpacked everything and wired in a couple of lights. I haven't done any real renos to it yet, but I've got a few ideas. I'm definitely open to anyone's suggestions, keeping in mind that materials are a bit slim up here. I don't mind the fake stone or dark wood grain. But the brass fireplace screen has to go... I managed to get this couch thrown in with the house (most people ask how much they dropped the price for us to keep it) Here's the bar. The stereo and the standard tiki salad utensils. The cheapo mugs. Various statues and Asian-themed mugs. The Shag Pink Panther shrine. Most of the good mugs and books. The statue on the bottom was a gift from a good friend. I didn't have the heart to post it in the "Bad Tiki Gift" thread. That wallpaper needs to be destroyed! So, any tips for a relative neophyte? I know it doesn't look like much yet, but I'm hoping to do something great with it. Maybe some kind of thatch in the ceiling tiles? Definitely new wallpaper. And I've got to get some bamboo in there somehow...

I hope you don't mind being paid in rum! (On second thought, liqour is freakin' expensive up here!) One of the first things I did was peel the wallpaper off the front of the bar and replace it with a little faux leopard skin. It gives it a nice jungle vibe. I want to keep it dark and mysterious, like the pirate grotto Leleliz said it reminded her of. I'll probably use "grotto" when I finally name the bar. Tikiville and Sweet Daddy Tiki are coming to a little shaker we're having this weekend, so I'll be plying them with rum for ideas!

My dad called me insane as he found out in what colour I wanted to paint my walls. He convinced me to sleep a night over it, what I did, but still made my decision. We had a lot of fun painting the boring white walls in such a catchy colour and I'm still loving it -have it now for 8 years-! It's a spacious appartement, so it makes it very cosy. I never regretted it for one moment, so I would say go for it! My kitchen is painted in light blue and bright orange, wich is also very cool. I don't have room for a bar, so I created this instead... It's not the real thing, but it's different and funny, I think. Curious to see you're space...! Take care, greetings Viv. Planning to make room in my living-room for a mini-bar though.
