Hi,
Finally, after many years with different plans we got our tikibar! We live in a townhome from 1958. In the basement there were a 8m2 (80ft2) storeroom that have been destined to be a tikibar since we moved inn 3 years ago. After an intense building period this fall we moved in some time before christmas. It is small, but cozy. And has the most important things down: a working bar and a seating group.
As a long time lurker I must give a big thank you to all the amazing people on this site for sharing so much and giving such valuable advices, information and especially inspiration. If someone feel I have stolen their designs please be flattered:)
I apologize for the poor low light photos...

First a view of the bar area

Then a view from behind the bar towards the seating area

The corner with the peacock chair

Opposite corner where the entrance is

That is the outline of the room. Now for some details and different angels

This is above the coach

And an other Dough Horne

Then mugshelvs on both sides inside bar area

Carved record shelves

I have no idea why some of the images have landed on their side after their trip through cyberspace. Can anyone help me?

Great space, and yes it looks cozy which in a Norwegian winter I'm sure is a good thing. Nice Rum collection, I find it hard to make hard-core Tiki cocktails without a sink, but I'm sure you have some work around. I like your "library" shot, I have one of those too.

Glad you posted!

Thanks!
We have a sink, refrigerator for syrups and a freezer for ice in an room next-door :) So no problem making hard-core tikidrinks! Will post in the drink forum later. Cheers!

Looks ultra relaxing. Was very fortunate to visit your beautiful town of Bergen a number of years ago. Now with your bar you have Tiki meets the Fjords. (-:

Thanks Thortiki! It is very relaxing. And since the window is blocked it is a hideaway all day and night :)

Very nice. Congratulations. It's cool that the "Pearl of Wisdom" has become an essential decor piece for any tiki space no matter where in the world you live!

I love all the details in your place! You can tell it was planned well. Will you be adding anything else?

Thanks everyone!

The pearl of wisdom was a lucky Ebay winning. I have never seen any other in Norway. Most tiki stuff here are Thor Heyerdahl related :)
Further plans are mostly related to the ceiling. Will post pictures when that happens :) :drink:
