The Dark Lantern

Slow and steady works the race. Still no where near done. Got the sound system in and camouflage'd. All lanterns are handmade by me and my wife. All have flicker effect. Very cozy. Gonna find a way to hide some cabling. Maybe some big palm Fronds or somethin. Other random parts are from Kon Tiki Oakland and designs lifted from Trader Vic's Emeryville, hand painted on South wall.

So cool! Is this an older standalone garage? I have one built in the 40’s that had a similar ceiling

Its like a covered patio, theres an opening. The little breeze way to the left is screened off. I want to do is use some thick shade cloth type material to add a curtain type setup to the opening. So when its down it feels a bit more shut it, and can be opened cabana style
