WOW! Yours are now on my wish list. I paid 5 bucks apiece for those, by the way.

:o Hey Rick,thanks for the update. It's starting to take shape nicely in there.. Nice work.. I have one of those old green fish floats also, but I'm scared to hang it for fear it will fall and break. :( But I do hang a newer aged blue one..

BK
Big Kahuna posted on 04/02/2010

Those floats are all over the place, around here. If it breaks, I'll find another one.

OK, guys. I need some opinions. Do these lights work?


Do I hang these masks or are they too cheesy?

Thanks for your help.

those masks ARE cheesy!

Maybe stick them behind the netting to keep them but hide them

Anyone else wanna confirm what I already knew?

I'm a believer that all related stuff can work, it's all in how you display them. You don't want to put too much "weight" on items like the masks. You want the main attention to be on tiki items like your mugs and that large carving you have. Support this with lighting in the right places, and I'm telling you-- it all works, don't get rid of a thing!

These are not TIKI. Each one is one half of a COMEDY/TRAGEDY set.

These were bought early on in my Tiki education. I've already sold them at a swap meet. They are gone, but I just bought a huge PNG mask last week.

Woe...it is looking great and the fish net really pulls that room together and compliments your awesome lamps. Love the progress pictures, it is so helpful for those of us that are challenged in the mechanics of putting the room together.

Picked up another vintage lamp, yesterday. Now, all I have to do is figure out where to put it. There'll be a major renovation to the Mauna Kai Lounge this summer. Stay tuned.

Every home Tiki Bar needs a sign. I have the pleasure of having two, created my two very talented friends. The first sign was gifted to me by my good friend Hottiki. It makes sure everyone that visits knows who the resident mixologist is.

The second sign makes sure everyone knows where they are. It was painted by my good buddy, Ray Benson.
