I am decorating my house in a tropical theme. Any great ideas?

tropical stuff...like you know...tropical stuff...hee hee

Set up a corner of the room with a murel of a some palm tree in the back ground with some lattice and flowery plants then get a 3 foot pillar (you can get them at walmart) stick it in the corner. Put a plant that drapes over but doesn't cover it totally up. then go and get a macaw and put that in a corner cage. If you're not into real birds too muchthey do sell wooden birds on these round perches that you can hang in the corner. ---No mess.

Sounds like fun. You could paint a trompe l'oeil picture on a windowless wall, to make it look like a window opening out to the ocean. Frame old record albums with a surfing or hawaiian music theme. Glue shells around a mirror frame. Fill a jar with shells and make a lamp out of it.

Look in the Harriet Carter mail order catalog. They sell a set of six bright colored fish that can be hung on a wall. I have them and they look great!

Paint the walls bright colors, yellows blues reds. For a border take a stamp of fish, starfish, seahorse and stamp it around teh ceiling in a complimentary color

paint a mural on the wall. find a mannequin and dress her like a hula girl. tiki torches. rugs that look like thatching, sand colored carpet or hell, just really throw some sand on the floor. (just kidding about that last one)

Maybe a couple of real palm trees in a corner of the living room.
