Family life with two young boys, age 5 and 3, can at times be chaotic. When it gets a little overwhelming, David steps into the Jurupa Hideaway for 30 seconds for a time out. David takes a look at his mugs, inhales deeply, and steps back into reality. At other times, it’s a cool place that he and Nikki can unplug, talk, and enjoy a drink together.
Jurupa Hideaway is David’s Tiki lounge in Jurupa Valley, California. When David visited Trader Sam’s a few years back, he wanted to create a similar space at home. So, he asked Nikki if he could turn a spare bedroom into a Tiki room, and the Jurupa Hideaway was established. Nikki did the painting, and David organized his collection of art and mugs into the space.
