Tiki Transformation

I bought some polished reed fencing and cut it to fit between the ceiling beams. This gave a nice illusion that we are seeing the underside of the thatched roof.


An old sliding closet mirror door will serve as the back bar mirror - notice the rollers still intact on the bottom! Hey, you gotta be creative sometimes...

THE BIG EVENT! I finally got to cut the opening in the pub. Now it starts to look like a tiki bar.

Here is the interior decor material - Java Grass from Oceanic Arts. I am trimming it to fit, but both sections will be used...

And here is another part of the interior wall covering - Bac-Bac with Sisal, a woven mat that comes in rolls 3' x 32' long. Again, from the mecca of Oceanic Arts in Whittier, CA.

The flash on the camera has washed out the look in this photo, but it looks sweet in person. Notice the mirror, a/c and window framed with old bamboo from my yard!


After a little more work, and the addition of a lamp from - guess where? Did I mention that place is a mecca?
