Help Me With My Margaritaville!

Post by indymiller24 »

PH nation, I have a challenge for you. This August, I'll be moving into a house on campus here at IU, and it is my ultimate goal to make both the patio area and an entertainment room into my own personal Margaritaville. (*Note to Jimmy: I won't sell any of your products or ideas without prior consent! :wink: )

So, here's your challenge:
I want to hear about all the things you've ever done to make your humble abode a little slice of beach-y heaven. Obviously, a bar is part of the preliminary design.

I want to know about:
designs you've had, creative ideas you'd like to try, interesting & creative materials you've used, and any other ideas you've got. Got a good resource for something that looks like bamboo? Know how to make a palm tree grow in Indiana? Got an idea of a design of the bar? I want to hear all of your creative stories and ideas!

If you've got photos, those would be great, too!

Now obviously, this will be a big help to me, but I'd like to make this thread a resource for anyone who has the same dream of making Margaritaville not so far away. I'm doing this because I've searched around the board and haven't found much in this area.

I know y'all can help, so thanks in advance. And yes, you're invited to see the final product! THANK YOU!!! :D

I think every Margaritaville has to have a stage for a live band…
