We have a guest room- office-TiKi Room -grandkids playroom over the garage......to get to this room, you enter from the second floor landing and you are in this small hallway type of room. I've always planned on turning this small room into a TiKi Bar. I had a lot of my collection displayed in here but the walls were white and NO BAR. So...I'm starting from scratch.

I ran out of matting and bamboo, so that's all for today. I'll keep ya posted, thanks for looking.

Thanks for the comments.
I picked up the matting and poles at a local place in San Diego - Backyard X- Scapes........gotta go back for more.
SWEET 808 came from the area code in Hawaii. I was just going to put 808 on the door, then thought Suite 808, then that turned into SWEET 808.
I don't know if I'll keep it or not, It's good for now.
Thanks for the offer of help Derek, I'll probably take you up on it. I'm just making it up as I go, I've got lots of questions.

Fountain will be great, will you be offering little pills by the small door so we can transform ourselves?

just a TiKi at the end of the bar

still needs more matting, some bamboo trim work .......then mugs, masks, TiKis, album covers, pictures, posters, monkeys, birds and lamps

thanks for looking

No pills required, VampiressRN. That small door is only used by the grandkids that love to play in this room, we can all use the regular sized door.

the tiny door leads into a bedroom closet. when we built the house, that was the access into the attic (which became Sweet 808 with a real door from the stair landing). it's a fun room!

Gotta love a tiki bar with a secret door leading through the closet. Suite 808 is the perfect accommodation for the wardrobe drinker. Check me in.

Really good job on that difficult to fill space. Congrats.

Our Skootiki would have looked great in your room, I'm glad we snagged it before you thought of doing that. Wendy and Dan

thanks again Wendy and Dan......most TiKis that I carve spend a little time hangin' out in Sweet 808 before they head off to their new homes.

Nice way to start your day. Like that shirt way too cool. I like where you placed your Large puffer fish.

thanks TikiVato, there's another one of your pufferfish lamps behind the big one but you can't see it from this angle.
