This is a chronicle of my home bar, The Wrecked Wench, located in Winnetka, CA
So far, The Wrecked Wench consists of a small inside bar and a larger outside bar on the patio.

The Inside Bar:

The construction of the outside bar:

I decided I wanted to wood burn some pirate ships into the top of the bar.

The finished ships

The bar wouldn't be complete without some awesome masks by Kirby!

I was very excited to add these custom chunk lights from Mandy and Nelsons Tiki Hut!

I am always working on adding more, so there will be more pics to come!
Thanks for checking it out!

This is a REALLY nice bar! I mean, THESE are really nice BARS!!!

I especially like the barrel shelf inside and, of course, the Wrecked Wench herself! :)

Thanks for posting. Very well done.

Nice work...... the burned ships, free hand or stencil? Nice bar top touch.

Awesome pics BB! What's great about the Wrecked Wench is that every room is themed. Here's a couple more pics from my last visit:

Inside Bar

Pirate themed Bedroom

Haunted Mansion themed Dining Room

And part of the Star Wars Room

Last but not least, a Rumpus Room field trip to the Wrecked Wench! Photo by Tonga Tom.

Unbelievable! I'm blown away. In New England, hanging a metal star on the front of your house is considered creative decorating!

qh tiki, I used carbon paper to transfer my line drawings of the pirate ships to the bar top. It was my first real attempt at wood burning, so I am happy with how they came out.

JOHN-O posted on 09/13/2012

Fantastic !! :) One thing however...

I think it's acceptable creative license to mix Tiki with Nautical and/or Pirate. There is one pop cultural "no no" that I did notice. You have a Stay Puft Marshmallow Man inside the Star Wars room !!

I expect this grave thematic error to be corrected before my upcoming visit.

Mr Stay Puft was Done by Industrial Light and Magic so he's Star Wars friendly + he's a Sailor so he's welcome in other parts of the house. He can stay! :evil:

WOW...just WOW! So many fun touches that I can't even begin to pick and choose favorites. At the top of the list is the burned pirate ships on the bar top. Great idea and one that deserves to be stolen (I mean, borrowed).

That has to be one of the coolest themed homes I've ever seen. I can feel the vibe of that rockin' party right through the computer screen!

That brick wall with the life preserver on it is just begging for one of those fake electric fireplaces with the metal hood; hang a small tiki or mask on the middle of the hood and shine that spotlight on it with a red bulb.
