Love the bamboo wall outside the booth. Nice touch!
I don't recall seeing what you had planned for the floor in all these posts. What are you thinking about doing on the floor. Looks like right now it is raw concrete. Just curious!
Thanks for the update.

Regarding the floor:
I'll be painting the floor to look like lava rock, adding some crystalline sparkles and sealing it with some
kind of clear epoxy when I'm done with everything else.
Leleliz, thank you 
The other rooms in my house aren't as far along and I kinda want to wait until I can make some progess before I post pictures. I'll try to take some pictures to give you an idea of what the master plan is.
Wayfarer, the only other Hawaiian/tiki themed room in the house is the master bedroom but the couch in Hula Sue's pretty comfortable

Hey, I'm located in Seattle, Pupu Pants... I adore those motion lamps. I've got a 1980s version of that fish lamp, with a black plastic base but similar fish and shade patterns. If you have an old one (the brass base type) that still has the pleated inner shade to give the fish the wavy swimming effect, would you consider trading for mine? I prefer the older brass base type, and mine has the same effect. Also, the plastic pleats in mine may be easier to modify than the old parchment pleats used in the 50s models, which can be a bit brittle.

Un-be-liev-able!!!
This is an amazing and breathtaking project!
I've read this entire thread, mouth hanging open, eyes glazed, hoping I didn't short out my keyboard with the envious drool.
Mr. Pants, you sir, are an absolute genius!
I can't wait for your continuing updates. Thank you for your generosity in sharing your photos and methods with us!

I got all excited when I saw this thread on the top of the pile. Then I found out it was full of bump and false hope. John, TC NEEDS new pictures!

Sorry my tiki pals, I've been neglecting my responsibilities
I took a short break to work on another project but am back at it.
I'll post an update later this week. I promise.
You guys are great. Thanks for dropping a line
