Keith is working on an enclosed cupboard for me, as I don't like having my glasses out on open shelves cause they get dusty. When I get that in the lounge and move things around, I will get pictures. Still can't have a party as the Mother Unit is not supportive of that. I am going to move all my bowls to a new area too so I have more room for mugs. Plus I want to get Hine Moana secured in her new home. When that is all done, I'll give you a shout Wendy & Dan and maybe you can swing by for a gawk!!!

That is true. My lounge has been in limbo since the Mother Unit moved in with me a couple of years ago. Still collecting and trying to improve the lounge though as you can never stop the hammering!!!

I haven't done any crafting in over 20 years, so getting itchy fingers. Unfortunately, I don't have a craft room and still don't have my sewing room set up. But throwing my issues out the window and planning on making a life-sized mermaid. I am getting a family of redwood turtles carved by Jeff from Florida and was planning on putting all these items in the living room. Change of plan...going to put them in the lounge. I have a wall for the turtles. Going to hang the mermaid from the ceiling. I still need the tapa placed on the lounge ceiling and a dropped bamboo grid for the room. Will find a temporary hanging spot for the mermaid. I have already found a mannequin, a wig, a mermaid tail and a shell bra. Just need to pull it all together with a glue gun and various jewels. Wish me luck...might take me a few months.

I have several projects in the works, but nothing done cause I just get too burned out during the week and have to give up my weekends to the Mother Unit. My never-ending plan to get my Tiki lounge ceiling done has finally come to a dead end.
I will use the Tapa for a dining room table cloth, plus I'll have left over for other projects.
I have new plans for my lounge ceiling. Going to go with decorative painting like under the ocean. I will have it painted a couple of different blues and I got an undulating ocean lamp to display on the ceiling. Going for something like this:
I have several items I will be hanging from the ceiling that are nautical in nature. This will take me a long time to complete, but the decor is in my head and mapped out on PowerPoint. It is accomplish-able.

Here is the wonderful cabinet that Keith refinished for ma and added more shelves to for my glasses. It has a light too. One of these days I will be somewhat settled in and get some to come take pics for me.
I will be getting this cabinet delivered for my garage. I will place my glass fish in the aquarium section.

Love your cabinet and the bamboo aquarium. You can find those bamboo aquarium tanks every so often and they are awesome, but expensive! I built my own with these as my inspiration, but I have never ever seen a china cabinet like that, very nice!!! Please follow up with a photo after you stock it up with your tiki mug collection or whatever you plan to put in there.
Aloha!

I really do need some new pictures of my progress. I am still changing up a few things. Just want to share the new piece of art I am getting from New Zealand from carver Bino Smith. I think this will be a good fit for one of the pillars in my entry way.

That is one of the most unique pieces I have ever seen.

Vic (Jungle Trader) I would like to get a Root Ball Tiki from you in 2017. Want a full root, about 8 feet tall, and fat. I like the one at Minis and posted another one here too. No paint, just a stain. I am in no hurry, so whenever you find the right palm and get it dried is good for me. I want to put him in my living room. ~M~
