Brad,
Looks good. Thanx for sharing.
How did you mill the floor and trim?

Thks. I bought rough stock and milled it with a 12" jointer/planer. That was actually the more time consuming part of the job. I ripped the stock to within and 1/8" and cleaned up one side with an outboard shaper fence before profiling. The T&G profiles, relief cuts, and trim profiling was done on the shaper with a power feeder.

Just curious, are those Integrity windows?

Great looking job.
What did you use for uplighting in the cove? I have used Juno Trac 12 setups and their xenon bulbs, which clip to the track and look like this:

The next opportunity I get to do cove lighting, I might try Juno's newer LED lights, which also clip to the 12V track, and look like this:

Thanks. For the uplighting I used four T8 flourscents that are hidden behind the perimeter band. Each one is around 48" long and about 1.5" tall. My electrician wired two plugs to a switch for me to plug in to.
I will have to take a look at the options you suggested for future. The low voltage stuff is nice, but I have learned to get everything to work together correctly with dimmers is not all that straight forward. Ahh, aint renos great.
