K Kraken007 Member Las Vegas Joined: Nov 18, 2015 Posts: 80	K Kraken007 Posted posted on 11/26/2015 Well....Thanks to my lurking around for the last few days and looking at everyone's Tiki bars..... I have decided to upgrade and re-decorate. I know a bedroom Tiki bar is a tad strange....but oh well. Another post showed what Home Depot had.... (Looks like a nice place to start) I'm leaving Las Vegas for 6 weeks, but when I return......I'll post my updates.

K Kraken007 Member Las Vegas Joined: Nov 18, 2015 Posts: 80	K Kraken007 Posted posted on 01/06/2016 Thanks! If I had more room I'd also put a shelf behind the bar, but alas with my 6'/230 frame behind it there would be issues. So far everything I need fits behind the bar. Being a "Dry" bar I also need room for a dump bucket and a small cooler with ice. Somewhere on the forums someone said if your building a bar, get shelves and more shelves, and even more....he was right. When I return I'll post some updated pictures and sure enough...I need to purchase some more shelves. :)

Good start on yer tiki spot. My cook had a cooler in her bedroom filled with beer so she did not have to get out of bed, true story. http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?mode=viewtopic&topic=43018&forum=20&start=0
K Kraken007 Member Las Vegas Joined: Nov 18, 2015 Posts: 80	K Kraken007 Posted posted on 01/07/2016 LOL! It Was that post! I have a small fridge in my office which has beer, Champagne and sodas, water, etc. (It does make life easier!) It's down the hall from the bedroom so I also keep juices and syrups for the Tiki bar there. When I have a guest or two I have to prep the bar with the fruit, ice and syrups. If I could find a small fridge that would fit behind the bar I'd be in Tiki Heaven! It's kind of too bad I also have to have room to sleep-lol!

P Polly_Nesia Member California Joined: Jul 21, 2008 Posts: 77	P Polly_Nesia Posted posted on 06/24/2016 I like what you've done. Very comfortable get-a-way. Love a number of your tiki masks and statutes. LOL I thought those (Hobby Lobby) octopus looked familiar. I have a cast metal mermaid sculpture from there. Also picked up a porthole mirrored wall hanging when I spotted it on clearance last year. They have a nautical section that frequently gets in some interesting items. For anyone new to shopping there, they regularly put "all" decor within certain departments within the store on 50% off sale (see weekly online ad, departments featured rotate throughout the year). Otherwise you can use an online website coupon for 40% off one reg. item (just show your phone coupon in-store). You can also order some items online from them.

J JenTiki Grand Member (1 year) Home of the best rum collection in NC Joined: Jun 16, 2006 Posts: 2336	J JenTiki Posted posted on 06/27/2016 Interesting! So the receiver for the remote is built into the bulb I guess? The ones on my bar shelves are the led tape strips with a separate remote receiver and special connectors between strips. They were a pain to install, but look really cool and I love changing the color depending on my mood. Those bulbs wouldn't work in my living room light, but now that I know they exist, I might put them in my bedroom floor lamps! Thanks! [ Edited by: JenTiki 2016-06-27 08:08 ]

Just be advised they do not produce a very bright light. But work well when it is dark. (I had to put 4 in a Replica Divers helmet to get it bright enough.) I'll try to remember to take some pictures when it gets dark to show you. [ Edited by: Kraken007 2016-06-27 13:38 ] [ Edited by: kraken007 2016-06-28 06:37 ]

F FredsTugboat Member Joined: Mar 25, 2015 Posts: 14	F FredsTugboat Posted posted on 07/20/2016 I don't think so, I've had a few and they're not that bright, plus the lava light looks reddish orange, not purple. I think it might be the bright glow on the safe shelf to the left of the lava lamp, whatever that is...
K Kraken007 Member Las Vegas Joined: Nov 18, 2015 Posts: 80	K Kraken007 Posted posted on 07/20/2016 It is my LED water effect light.
