Help! South Seas decorating ideas.

[puffkin]

I am building a new house and in my one room, I have very set idea of decorating a room with a south seas feel. I already found a great ceiling fan, and end tables/coffee table with bamboo accents. I am going for the look along the lines of the Royal Pacific at Universal, that vintage 1920's type look. I am now looking for wall decorating ideas. I would love to get some vintage travel type posters/prints similar to this style:

I am having a hard time finding other similar prints. I keep finding stuff on Hawaii, which isn't quite the look I am going for. Any ideas of where to look?

If you have a Pier One or a Bombay company near you, give them a try, Pier one has a lot of bamboo/south seas type stuff, we did a bedroom with some of their furniture for a south seas look. Bombay company has a lot of "British Colonial" type items, you may find something there you could use.

If you find what you're looking for, keep us posted! I *so* loved the decor at RPR and have wanted to decorate my new house in that motif. LOL, of course, my biggest challenge is cleaning up all my clutter first. . . .

Oooh, I just thought of something else.. . . outside, on the walkways at RPR there were these painted, carved wood benches. I've looked all over the internet trying to find one, because they are so cool and unique-looking.

I saw an ad for a shop in Orange Beach, AL, that carries Indonesian items, that might fit into the South Pacific motif. I need to get their number and see if the survived Ivan!
