Aloha Theater and Tiki Bar!

New wiring for a special effect.

Here is the finished wall with the accent lighting.

and with the lights turned up.

A few candles were lighted tonight.

Awesome

That all looks so good. Yours is one of my favorite rooms!

Thank you!

Here is the completion of moving in a family of 24 fireflies on to the ceiling of the tiki bar.

All of the wiring is hidden behind the Philippine Nipa

From the wires behind the Nipa the wires to the fireflies are run between the bamboo reeds and the ceiling.

This is a picture of some of the fireflies.

To really see how the fireflies are animated I posted a short video on You Tube:

The power chord runs down the wall behind this bamboo pole.

Enjoyed your video, nice job on the walls and ceiling.

The fireflies are genius

A new project for the tiki bar.

I used to think carving was the most difficult then I realized that coming up wit the right design is equally difficult. Now I believe coming up wit the right colors can be as challenging.

I really like the fireflies. Neat idea and well executed.

Here are a few new pictures.

The beginnings of a new backdrop for the bar sign.

New trim around the bar entrance way.

OMG, your visual layering is incredible. Fantastic job with everything!

Thank you tikitube. I really like the different textured mats you're using for your tiki bar Lanai at Windsong. The one thing I wished I had is a raised ceiling.

That looks fantastic, MaukaHale! The colors and textures and layers... wow. You've got the whole "something to continuously catch the eye" thing down to an art. What's amazing is that you've accomplished this without the traditional tiki clutter approach. Your Aloha Theater looks clean and orderly and utterly immersive. Your custom frames are quite nice, too. I'm going to need a number of custom frames sooner or later, so I'm taking notes on your efforts. :wink:

Thanks! Yeah. I wish I had more vertical space to work with, too. We do our best!

Hey John, great interview with Tiki with Ray.

Those fireflies are a great idea!

I recently returned from a trip to the Marquesas Islands. In one of the local museums they had some interesting trim using Marquesas symbols. I'm going to use those in new trim I'm designing to go around the entry way between the tiki bar and home theater.

Making some progress.

Great job, love the designs.

Did you free hand those stencils?

Yes, I drew them from the photographs.

Continued fantastic work and detail!

New additions, stone tikis from the Marquesas Islands.

The stone tikis are lovely and that trimwork....WOW!

The trim is beautiful. Love that design.

I agree with everyone else--that trim work is outstanding!

Here are some more construction and completion pictures of the Marquesas molding project.

I also made some lowbrow art to go with it.

I'm not completely pleased with the red piece of wood. I may make some changes to it.

Great work. I really like the Marq piece.
