well for some time now, the tikis have been creeping in from both the outside and from the back bedroom to take over the living room! so now Im building an inside bar and display shelf for the tiki mugs, heres the first few pix so far.....
the 3 paintings are by a local artist named Quirno "Cory" Martinez
most of the tikis are Fiji style ones also

Bienvenu au Pacifique français !
Might I suggest some vintage airline posters? This one, by Arthur Thompson, advertising New Zealand's Tasman Empire Airways Limited, is a favourite of mine which I have up on my bedroom wall:

This one is quite cool too:

You're keeeeeeling me with those vintage print travel posters. Definitely going to decorate my garage with some of those one of these days. I have always been attracted to them...that Madagascar one is spectacular...it really sets the stage for mystique and intrigue...a perfect backdrop for the slutty art!!!
