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..

BB Bongo Bungalow Member Indiana Joined: Aug 20, 2007 Posts: 1295	BB Bongo Bungalow Posted posted on Fri, Apr 9, 2010 7:12 PM 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!

BK Big Kahuna Member SoMass Joined: Apr 11, 2007 Posts: 2486	BK Big Kahuna Posted posted on Sun, Jun 14, 2015 7:20 PM 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.
