Help a pirate build his bar

[Silent]

I'm adopting Red Cat Jenny's idea from her "Pirate Plunder Collection" post.

Here is the deal, I'm moving into my own place, yep finally getting out on my very own and I want to make a pirate bar. I've been asking friends for help but they are few and not "pirate" enough.

So here is the deal, I'm looking for wonderful things to put around the bar from coins, sailor rope, shells, jewls (fake), old rum bottles, pictures of you in your garb to fram around the bar, ect.

I'd happly send you items in return, depending on what I can find. Even a thank you letter. I have a P.O. Box that I can PM you if you just PM me

Thank of it as a moving out, 21year old birthday wish. Woot

I think this thread would get much more attention if you moved it to the PLUNDER forum instead lad...

Good point, *wishes it would move wiggling his fingers like they had magic powers*...nope didnt work HAHA

See I want it to have things from people from this forum because the bar will mean a lot more to me if you understand

I can move it if you'd like....

But suit yerself lad.

I'd look at what others have had for ideas.. the cheapest is always painting.. like Trompe L'Orele.. (spelling) means fool the eye. You can paint or stencil lots of things on walls. Rope that has been knotted makes a nice wall or window trim. Sail cloth painted flags can add texture to walls or make a curtain, or in one instance the ceiling!

Look around at second hand stores for mugs and chairs, and wall plaques or candle lanterns and sconces. Craft stores have tin lanterns for gardens and would look great as light sources with lightbulbs in them. Garage sales will work for that too. Find stuffed parrots and old barrels, old looking frames. A friend of mine bought some old coins and then glued them under the glass of his countertop. Don't glue them to the bar itself, its a pain to clean around them. Look at Target or specialty stores for closeouts on Pirates Stuff.. they are getting ready for POC-3 and having good prices on the older stuff. Lamps, bandanas, rub-ons, tee-shirts etc.

good luck and have fun.. thats an order. :)
