I am into theme decorating...a different theme for each room, so posting my non-Tiki rooms here. I am the world's worse photographer, so please excuse these bad pictures. My cabinets are white and the walls are are really nice cream (in case you can't tell).
Here is the OUT-OF-AFRICA Master Bath
Towels = Pottery Barn & Stein Mart
Chair & Bench = Linens & Things
Towel Shelf = Cost Plus World Market
Crystal Sconces & Mirrored Jewelry Box = Bombay Company (I miss that store)
Animal Masks = Design Toscano
Blow Gun = Jungle Trader (thanks Vic 
Candles = Pier One
Jaguar Figure on Vanity & Leopard Print Vase = Macy's (eons ago)
Vanity Trays = Southern Living @ Home (soon to be Willow House)
Shrunken Head = THOR (thanks, truly a favorite of mine)
Wooden Cot = Mine (Dad used to have us sleep on these when we went camping-eons ago)
Rug = Home Decorators (eons ago)

Very nice room Marlene, let's see the rest of them.
I love themed rooms (and themed dinners too ) I hear rumor that Mr Pupu Pants has some great themed rooms too, maybe we can gets some pix out of him.

I like the idea behind the room, but have you thought about painting the walls & ceiling in more Jungle-y colors? Maybe do the walls in Green and the ceiling in a Bamboo Patterned Yellow/Beige?

Thanks for the feedback everyone. It is hard to appreciate the color of the walls, but they are a creamy ivory which doesn't show up in the picture...so I can hang with it for now. I do agree that a nice pale green with jungle plant motif would look great, but that will be another project for this room in the future...maybe a paint party???
I do have my guest powder room done too, so will be back to post that this weekend.
Everything else is mid-decor.

I love the theme Vamp. I absolutely must get up to your place to see it in person, soon.
I do the same thing with different themes in each room. My bedroom is decorated in beach cottage and my guest room done in flamings.

EQUESTRIAN POWDER ROOM
My decorating tends to be outside of the norm, so hope this powder room doesn't make ya'll run for the hills...LOL. I'm hopelessly stuck in that different theme for every room...go figure...can't seem to avoid it, so I embrace it.
This room was prompted by the table with the horses head legs from Bombay Company. It started me on an Equestrian theme and I purchased everything off the Internet and had a professional install the wallpaper.
Kohler Pedestal sink, toilet, brushed nickel hardware, mirror were standard in my executive model
Wallpaper = Steve's Blinds and Wallpaper
Towels = Linen's N Things
Bathroom Set = Home Depot/Expo
Riding Boots = Stateline Tack
Leather Gloves = Antique Expo
Jacket, Blouse, Scarf = Pyramid Collection
Framed Equestrian Prints = Art.com
Pewter Equestrian Tray, Crop = Christensen’s Saddle & Supply

The hallmark of western civilization IS a tidy and well appointed powder room...don't you agree? I thought so.

Vamp, do you sometimes put on the jodhpurs & boots and prance around the bathroom? 
Quite a lovely water closet.
