manly folkart and tiki hut

[greenoak]

thiose are my 2 new ideas for the coming year..
..so many houses have big media rooms or bars, or rec rooms...so im thinking they need big things for wall art.... i have lots of vintage parts..... and have really gotten into collage this fall, on a teeny journal scale....but why not collage on an old door!!!!!

and fun tiki hut ideas ...

Ann-

I LOVE Tiki Bars!! If you need any help taste testing rum drinks I am your girl!

Quite a few of my friends have home tiki bars that are truly stunning (including my friend Anne :) )

Next time you're at a large book store look for a decorating book called Pad (http://www.amazon.com/Pad-Guide-Ultra-Living-Matt-Maranian/dp/0811826538/sr=1-2/qid=1164818706/ref=pd_bbs_2/105-1525500-5838865?ie=UTF8&s=books), a coffee table book called The Book of Tiki (http://www.amazon.com/Book-Tiki-Sven-Kirsten/dp/382282433X/sr=8-1/qid=1164818643/ref=sr_1_1/105-1525500-5838865?ie=UTF8&s=books) or for Tiki Magazine (http://www.tikimag.net/).

I'd love to hear more about your ideas!!
