Wow! Great attention to detail; and all that ceiling to fill with floats and lamps. I'm jealous.

Yikes, you are too creative for your own good! Broken airline fuselage dragged up from the beach? Jeez, I was proud of myself when I managed to torch some bamboo without catching myself on fire! Nice work. Very nice. It's all in the details, isn't it...

Your creation is total eye candy filled with amazing ideas and attention to detail. You've made significant progress from the last time I stopped by and I have to say that I am very impressed with your capabilities at creating an escapist fantasy.
Thanks for sharing your progress and I look forward to the next update!

Thanks Robb, Rob and not Rob (Polynesiac). Made my day 
Here's something I made for the walls of the 'entrance'. Got some cool rattan picture frames, vintage tropical paint by numbers, a couple of chalkware hula girls and some matting strips and twine.
I cut the paint by numbers to fit the curve of the frame and added the rest of the stuff with a glue gun. Abra cadabra...something to hang on the wall (I made one for each side of the entrance):
On the wall:

Love those frames!
I collect paint by numbers and would never think of cutting them up but I love the effect of the end result.

Wow am I glad I stumbled upon this spot! Your vision and craftsmanship are amazing. (Drool) I wish I had a basement. I must stop reading these threads I only have a backyard to work with. It is hard not to get discouraged when you see such brilliant work!! Great job. I especially love the entry way and the way you designed the columns. I am sure this space must bring you much satisfaction. Thanks so much for sharing. Please do post some pictures of the rest of your house, that is, in your spare time!
