My backyard “tiki hut”
Hi everyone! Hope you’ve been enjoying your summer. I haven’t been blogging in a while (2 months! gulp).

There was no way I could resist adding some full-on tiki bar accessories. If you share my obsession with all things tiki, or are just looking to add a bit of a tropical, retro vibe to your summer, I hope you find some of my buys and DIY decorating tips handy!
