This week:

KarateKyle's
The Lost Tiki Temple!

This week we made over a room belonging to KarateKyle – who had just bought a few pieces of furniture and was placing them around his room when I walked in! I asked if he needed any assistance in building out his Tiki-themed room. He was happy to have the help and I jumped right into designing the perfect tropical hideaway!

BEFORE: A fine selection of adventure-themed furniture is a good start for a tropical themed room!

KarateKyle already had some great stuff that we would use for this makeover but first we got rid of some miscellaneous items (like his collection of Adventureland Posters and Disneyland Velvet-rope Room Divider). The other items – beige Tom Sawyer's Island Teepee, Explorer's Carpet, and a Camp Fire – I brought closer to the water's edge to create a small camp for this daring explorer.

Then we added two Coffee Table Crates, Barrel Chairs, Bamboo Wall Dividers and Disney Cruise Travel Chests in different colors to make it look like a camp! KarateKyle could rest his head here before embarking on his next adventure!

To add even more to this story, we made sure his Jungle Cruise Boat (Teleporter) was close at hand should he need to sail downriver! An Explorer's Lantern and Expedition Supplies complete the look and interaction of room.

DURING: "So this one time at VMK Camp, we roasted marshmallows with a freindly (yet mysterious) Yeti creature!"

But what's a tropical hideaway without a lost Tiki Temple! For this, I started with a base built of Dead Man's Chests and layered it with ALR Sand and Pirate Treasure (small) Rugs. The Chests look like stone when stacked on top of each other and the rugs make it so that anyone can walk up the stone steps.

Along the edge of this structure, we placed Tangaroa-Ru Tiki idols in alternating colors and created torches on the top step from Crow's Nest Barstool Poles and Camp Fires. At the very top, two Karo Tiki Chairs and a pair of ALR Cave Arches make for extra seating and the top of our temple!

Last but certainly not least, we added lots of Parrot Palm Trees and PPR Plants to create a lush, tropical feel for the room. So if you're up for some adventure and exploration, visit KarateKyle's Lost Tiki Temple!

AFTER: Ooga booga! It's Tiki Time!

Now I'm off to explore the Kingdom for our next great room makeover!
