Tambour is the wood that can give your snack bar or kitchen island the tiki bar effect. Tambour is typically used for roll-top desks and can be found in a variety of woods like Cherry, Hickory, Pine, Maple, and others.
Your kitchen can be updated to reflect your style by finding and using the proper products.

The Tub Connection
This was a really cool idea because I have been getting really tired of the bar that we have and it looks so drab and boring I am going to do this with It because I am redoing a lot of the wood work in my home with the bamboo look even the floors. Thanks for the idea it is going to look great when I’m finished. I’ll have to post pictures on a blog.
I must admit, the texture of the counter top and the top of the stools in this photo are appealing. They almost resemble marble. It’s not a bad look, unlike many other things from the 80’s, particularly, some of the fashions from that decade. Remember the big puffy hair styles? Some things like Tambour seem to have made a come back, like those big square type sun glasses.
