Hey gang. I finally made it over here and decided to post. Here's my home bar Savage Seas (SavageSeasTiki on Instagram) I've posted in the tiki groups on FB and on Reddit so you may recognize my bar, but this is my first post on Tiki Central. The original tiki build was done in Late 2020/Early 2021 by my good friend Nick (Echo Island Tiki) and my girlfriend and I. The original space is a nearly 350sq ft guest house/studio in our backyard. We spent about a month on the tiki portion of the build (a contractor had spent about 3 months converting the space to code with plumbing for the bathroom and sinks, drywall, and electrical because of crazy stipulations surrounding the grandfathered permit for the structure).

Nothing I could possibly say could do this home Tiki bar justice. To say I am beyond impressed is an understatement. I can honestly say to me this is my reference home Tiki bar. Thanks for sharing a truly inspiring thread. I have yet to begin construction of my home Tiki bar but I will be remembering many aspects of this design.

Hey everybody. Just popping back here to share some lighting updates since the original post photos were taken. First we were fortunate to secure one of RockNRoll Woody's often imitated Double Drums. I was happy to wait for this one. Woody is busy as hell for a reason. Savage Seas - Los Angeles, CA (Updated 6/7/24) - Home Tiki Bars - Tiki Central (45) Next we got 2 of MadEyes Forbidden Reef's Rum Bottle Floats. Mary Beth makes the best floats period. People don't talk enough about lampmakers that make small lamps that you can tuck into little corners to add dimension. These are perfect for that. I wish more makers made small lamps. CommodoreNCo and Mary Beth are really cornering the market. Savage Seas - Los Angeles, CA (Updated 6/7/24) - Home Tiki Bars - Tiki Central (46) Next one was a Holy Grail score. We were blessed by the antique gods and found a PAIR of these pristine 1960s Pele's Hut lamps made by Orchids of Hawaii for the Sea & Jungle Shop in LA. I still have an extra one of these lamps that I need to figure out what to do with. ALSO...This lamp took the place of an original Oceanic Arts Tahitian Shade. You can see it in the original post pics above. I don't have room for the Tahitian Shade currently and if anyone has an Oceanic Arts Kooboo Cane Shade with the Tapa and wants to trade, please reach out to me. Savage Seas - Los Angeles, CA (Updated 6/7/24) - Home Tiki Bars - Tiki Central (47) And just for a bonus, I don't have it hung yet because I'm currently reproducing the bottom cover for it, but I was able to secure an Orchids of Hawaii Shell lamp from the 70s in a trade last week. It's heavy as hell but we will make it work. Savage Seas - Los Angeles, CA (Updated 6/7/24) - Home Tiki Bars - Tiki Central (48)

The opposite is more likely true. Smokin Tikis made these and still makes these to this day probably inspired by the old United Hawaii travel agency tiki. They were sold at Oceanic Arts and a few other places including from Smokin Tikis’ booths at all the tiki marketplaces. This one came raw from OA and I used a light walnut stain on it.

New year, new lamps. I was able to secure 3 vintage Orchids of Hawaii lamps to add to Savage Seas. First one was one I'd had my eye on for a long time. It was kind of a white whale for me. The bamboo face cutout with the woven hat. Savage Seas - Los Angeles, CA (Updated 6/7/24) - Home Tiki Bars - Tiki Central (57) The next one was another white whale, the flattened shell chandelier. Savage Seas - Los Angeles, CA (Updated 6/7/24) - Home Tiki Bars - Tiki Central (58) The last one was kind of a bonus. The bamboo fish cutout. Savage Seas - Los Angeles, CA (Updated 6/7/24) - Home Tiki Bars - Tiki Central (59) And finally for just to continue off my last post, I was able to track down the original crushed glass bottom for the giant round shell Orchids of Hawaii lamp and now it's hanging finally.
