I don't paint or carve, but I like to put stuff together. Here is the progress so far...... TikiTony's unsolicited art......Thanks Tony! This was originally the laundry/hobby room of our Eichler. Moved the washer & dryer to the garage to make room for some music (Blues & Rockabilly) Music & carpet out, exposing the crappy linoleum floor and the mahogany paneling that the former owner had painted over. Bought 1 roll of Tatami matting from OA that covered all but this 1 area behind bar where we used Luahala. No nails or staples.....used an adhesive for attaching fiberglass insulation to sheet metal duct. The stuff at the lower wall was a new product at OA. Tahitian Bamboo. Very flat bamboo strips on a cloth backing, same adhesive used, it comes 4' tall x 8' long. I cut it down to 3' I forgot to take pictures of the walls with the bamboo before decorating The seagrass covered the floor nicely. More decorating to do.....and stock the bar. Aloha!

We have owned our Eichler here in the Bay Area for 20+ years now. We had a house fire a while back and the insurance company had to replace the ceiling with the original knotty pine, we stained it. Were hoping to be back in next month. Yours is looking real nice! Is that like some of the natural grass fiber wall paper on the upper portion of the walls? We were looking for some for ours, but didn't find what we liked. [ Edited by: Kava Dan on 2004-03-27 11:52 ] [ Edited by: Kava Dan on 2004-03-27 11:55 ]

T tikitony Tiki Socialite Ventura, CA Joined: Aug 18, 2002 Posts: 861	T tikitony Posted posted on Thu, Apr 1, 2004 1:26 AM yowza! Great work RoNgoBongoFury. I thought you're pad was already gnarly but this is chissel-dropping spectacular. Can't wait until the party. Can't wait to show you the "secret carving techniques for a Ventura Local" for you're sideyard hut. You forgot to show off the trees growing in the middle of your house, with the clamshell water fall. This place is a true paradise!

The dresser looks like it has 777 on/in it. Rub it before you gamble! I don't know a whole lot about, a whole lot but, is it kinda Frank Lloyd Wright?-ish ish? The texture is Rocks!! p.s. The sticker must make it hard to play. It belongs on the underside of the toilet seat! Hey! Everyone has to pee! What better advertising is that? One of the most vulnerable moments!!! (I should have been an ad exec!)

B bongofury Grand Member (6 years) Ventura County Joined: Oct 15, 2002 Posts: 1565	B bongofury Posted posted on Sat, Apr 24, 2004 8:12 PM Thanks to all for your kind words. Shipwreck......bring your suit, pool has solar & a heater, Kaluageoff.....Swanky (and maybe others) has a cool post on attaching stuff to ceilings without damage, go for it, Unga........If you can't go on vacation, vacation at home, TikiCruise.....I think we would all like to see pics of your Tiki/Laundry room, BK........thanks, high praise from someone with such a great home bar and carving skills, Rev.......I'm glad you see 777 and not 666, the sticker works fine, no frets on a steel to get in the way, Gecko.....the mystery of night is what we were going for, sometimes I need a flashlight to load the cd player, looking forward to the sign, The ceiling is still white, have not decided what to do there yet. The shelf that holds the mugs near the ceiling is just pine, bottom covered with the extra bamboo cut off from the lower wall sections, edge is Sea Grass Braid attached with Titebond wood glue (I believe that was copied from a post of a shelf by the talented Alnshelly). Shelves attached to wall with L brackets and covered with split bamboo at the matting seams. We may try to have a party either in late June or?

B bongofury Grand Member (6 years) Ventura County Joined: Oct 15, 2002 Posts: 1565	B bongofury Posted posted on Wed, May 26, 2004 8:38 AM We love the sign Gecko! Yes you are correct. That is a UA Hawaii map in the background. The frame is cool, but the map is faded from being in the sun and the big island has a crack. We got the barstools and a foot rest re-upholstered in a 60s orange, it's a lot more orange than the pic.
