Worked a little bit on the Lava Lounge today. I put the shelf back up on the wall and made a pair of lamps out of a couple of glittery green skull planters I picked up for next to nothing after Halloween. I am going to put so frosted plexiglass on them and make them tables will will light whatever is put on them. But below is the progress I made on them thus far. As always any comments or suggestions appreciated.

Here is the final look of the left side cabinets I modified. The cabinet with the mask ca be used for storage and can double as a speaker cabinet.

Close up of the mask after it was mounted to cabinet door.

Got the shelf hung back on the wall. Next up to hide the electrical.

Lighted view of the shelf.

Wide lighted shot of the left side of the room... just to show you all the detail that does not show up with the room is properly bathed in red light! :)

Then modified this light to fit inside a pair ceramic skull planters I picked up.

Carefully drilled holes in the bottom of the ceramic skulls to accommodate the electrical cord. One false move with the drill and these bad boys were going to be trashed.

This is a "BEFORE" photo of the skull before they were modified to be lighted.

Here is the final outcome. I am going to put frosted plexi glass on top of these to make them lighted display tables. But this is how far I got today.

That brings you up to speed on the latest progress on my little slice of paradise.
