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!!

I love the tiki masks and the blue cabinet.

The room looks awesome Roxy!

Chad has this picture of his grandparents at their house where they made a little tiki bar, it has all his grandpa's straw hats lined up on the straw canopy and his grandpa has his arm around his grandma. On the picture, someone wrote "Sneaky Tiki Bar". Chad was so upset when his aunt threw all the stuff away, but he was able to get the hats. So the first rule of business when we get a house is to build a Sneaky Tiki Bar :). I'm sure the whole dining room will be tiki too :)

Thanks for the inspiration!

Thanks so much everyone! It's still growing, there's a bunch of new stuff in there now. One thing I love about Tiki rooms is that they are never really done. I'm having a blast hunting for things still.

Thanks again for all your kind words.
