So we did a thing... welcome to Mea Huna Tiki Bar!
Hiya everyone!
Hope you're all doing OK. What a crazy year it's been! Just wanted to share our little secret project we've been working on throughout 2020: Our own tiki bar! We are in the process of renovating our home at the moment and one of our favourite parts is our new Trader Sam's inspired secret tiki bar, which we have called Mea Huna (meaning secret!) Obviously it's not so secret now as I've told you guys but the idea behind it is that from the outside it just looks like an inconspicuous garden outbuilding and all of the tiki theming is inside. We had the building itself built professionally: foundations, walls, roof, wiring, insulation, fire boarding etc. which left us with an empty shell to create our own little immersive tiki room. Our carpenter built the bar from MDF and a solid walnut worktop and also built the shelves for us. We had this planned in even before lockdown so it's not a "lockdown bar" as such but it's been lovely to have this to escape to when we are stuck at home. We did all of the design and decoration ourselves including covering the walls and ceilings with bamboo matting and bamboo poles, making the light up TV area and window frame and I made several things to go into it like the replica Trader Sam's signs and artwork. Hope you like it! If you want to follow along, I've set up an Instagram account for it @mea_huna_tiki_bar Outside Inside The girls' cocktails The skirting and bar detail I carved Our shelves - built by our carpenter, painting, matting and lighting (and filling...) done by me First drinks Vintage love seat I reupholstered in Jeff Granito fabric Our giant cedar tiki - Ku Light up TV window a la Trader Sams Andy making some drinks Some of our tiki treasures Some more treasures Edited at 12:02 AM. |

You are so creative, Kate, I remember your MNSSHP costumes in your trip report. Great effort. Lovely to see the girls growing up and enjoying their drinks. Hope you have a lots of fun there esp when you can have friends over.
Think I’d be moving in and making it my home office! Cheers!
