Roxy's Tiki Dining Room: A Journey

[Roxy Tart {PL Team / Comm. Mgr}]

As many of you know from this post, http://www.pinuplifestyle.com/forum/topics/tiki-dining-room, I'm re-doing my dining room Tiki style. I figured now that the project is underway, I'd move this over to the DIY forum. So one more time, here are the before pix of my dining room.

Note the dirty white walls coupled with ugly purple trim. And although you can't see it well, 20 year old nasty brown carpet. The 1980's style gold "chandelier" was always a nice touch, and the big empty walls fun to look at.

The best part of the room is the furniture, 1930's vintage and built by my great grandpa.

So here we go... it's Tiki time!!

That is SO awesome! You are an inspiration to me Can't WAIT to see it all back together again and finished!

Oh my gosh, Rox! It's coming along beautifully! And rather quickly, too, might I add.

Project #3, The Floor (this was really TC's project, he did almost all of the work)

I didn't take a good picture of it, but the old carpet was nasty! 20ish years of kids, cats, and family traffic had wrecked it. So TC pulled it up, and this is what was under it:

Once upon a time this was a beautiful hardwood floor, but the years, the cats, and the flood (it was not pretty), pretty much ruined it. So off to Home Depot we went, and a day (and a very sore back) later, here is what we have now:

Thank you TC for my beautiful new floor!!!!

You're very welcome, doll, glad I could help! I only wish I had the equipment to help with the rest of what you needed.

The China cupboard is done! And by tomorrow, the rest of the room will be too... well, as done as a Tiki Rom gets at least.

Welcome to the Arcana Cabana!!!
(so named because I love Disney that much!)

I'm done (for now), although one of the tiki "rules" is that a room/bar is never really done. I'll be adding on as I find new cool treasures. So take a look, enjoy, and let me know what you think!

The icky blank wall became.... this!

The bamboo wall:
