Since my last update, I added some stuff. A 5-foot banana tree (fake; clearance from Target), some fake foliage on the ceiling at the bottom of the stairway, some fishnet and a big painting by a frind of mine (which I haven't hung yet). But that's not why I'm bumping this thread.
I got my masks from Basement Kahuna yesterday!!
Cool, huh? Let's give BK a hand. These are the best tikis I own.
Here's that painting by Nate. That's supposed to be my little family there by the water. You can tell Nate's my friend cuz he painted me with hair.
Fishnet is a cheap way to add nautical tikiness.

Great job...it is good to see the pictures of your progress. When you stapled the lauhala on the walls, did you just use a staple gun and did you have to paint over the staple so it doesn't show? I want to do that to the walls in my lounge and want it to look professionally done.

Granite--Thank you!
tikigap--thanks to you too
BK--you rule!
VampiressRN--I just used a regular staple gun right over the painted walls. I keep it so dark in there you can't see them but even in the light, they're pretty hard to pick out. I don't know about "professionally done" but I'm pretty critical of my own work and I'm happy with it.

Been forever since I made any changes to the place. I did add a beautiful Easter Island ceremonial paddle from our own Basement Kahuna and a maori war club from OA I got last Xmas.
with flash:
This is how I keep the joint generally:
Oh, Yeah. I almost forgot. I made a float light a few weeks ago. I got a float at the flea market for $25 without any rope. Luckily I saved the rope from the last one I broke. This time I didn't crack it and the float light looks great. (says I)

Oops. Sorry, I just saw that question now. I edited all the posts to fix the pic links what was busted. I'll try to add a couple more pix tonight unless I'm too drunk. No, there's still no bar downstairs.
How's YOUR bar coming, Big K?

Lookin' good Pappy! Mine's cleaner, but still looks like an operating room. I scored some rattan chairs & a wicker shelving unit & have added mucho mugs & other stuff. I'm hoping next week to put up some sort of curtains or drapes on the 2 windows & finally paint the walls. After that, it's bar building time, but I've got to save the dough first. The economy coupled with my wife quitting corporate America & going back to school has killed my wallet & everything must be scrounged for. I suggested she get a part-time job at Centerfold's so she could make more money in less time, but she just gave me that look. Big surprise, huh! Have fun on NETT. As usual, I've got Hot Rod shows to do & can't make it. Keep us updated on your progress & I'll begin to do the same.

Oh, yeah. Versus the look, we are powerless.
Start taking pictures of that tiki space and post 'em.
