Scott - Looking great with the mood lighting, love the orange backlight behind the bar.
See you at Fink's next weekend.

Some additions to the room.
A Tiki (it's a bank) and the post I carved to get it above the plants.
My 10$ Goodwill palm tree and some more plants for the window well.
Netting, shells, starfish and a whale all thrift store.
The Kon Tiki I carved in place.

Nice Work on the bar and lighting there! Now, just make a crate to fit around the TV, with a burlap curtain to open up when you watch it, and drape it over when its off! The outside window diorama is a great idea. It be really cool for people who have a bad view out a window of a tiki room to just put a box on the outside and fill it with Exotic objects of curiosity! I guess that's why paintings have frames, they're meant to be seen as window frames looking into the artists view of the world.

Did a little more work today.
Before
Added some trim.
Started adding bamboo grid to hang more netting from, need to get more to finish the whole ceiling.
The grid is alot more work than I thought.

The lights dimmed like a Tiki Bar should be. Hard to tell from the pic but you can still read the drink menu or sheet music!!!

Beach Bum Scott - Aloha!
I'm really into your basement project, it's cozy atmosphere especially your bar lighting bekons me to visit someday as I find myself in Denver on occasion (I'm a coaster enthusiast too..Denver's home to my beloved Lakeside Park and the Cyclone).
Does your tiki environment have a name?
PM me. I'm sure I can create a gift for you..a painting for the room..a small offering from the smoke blanketed So.Cal landscape to a new Mile High landmark.
Keep us posted on your progress. Cheers!

Thanks TikiG, you hit the nail. A dim cozy bar is what I'm shooting for.
The cozy part was easy the room is 16'x14' and the dim part was too, the room came with 6 can lights so I put in a dimmer switch.
Wish I had a better camera so my pictures did the room/lighting justice.
Being Labor Day I figured I would do some labor!!!
I need more shelving for mugs and such so Tammy found some Eames style pictures and asked if I could do something like it, Had a bunch of weathered wood from a deck I tore apart so...
Now I need to add some bamboo trim and do something with the white ceiling!!!!

Those are nice looking shelves Scott! You have been kicking ass with the production of your place and it has taken shape very nicely it a short period of time. Maybe it can inspire me to pick up the snails pace that I work on in my place.

That's a really nice bar you have coming together. Ukulo (I think that's the tiki mug's name) is one of my favorites for drinking as well, good shape and right sized for my average drinks.

After I added the new bamboo to the front of the bar.
Zulu isn't there some saying about Moai time?
