Nice work with the built-ins, but tell me who does your floors?
I do like the contrast with the darker walls, seems to just high-light the wood even that much more.
Dont respond about the first paragraph, I already know.

Dammit!
Ya beat me too the punch line.
Nice work Ditch.....real nice. Looks to have a good balance......proportions....all that fancy design stuff. Though it might have been a customers house till I noticed the Harley book in a place of honor.
Is it kid proof?

Very nice ! Some tough angles in the crown.
How do you find the full-coloured room ? I've been wanting to try a room or two; but, DW isn't sure about, and wants to stick with light shades. Does it require more lighting ? Does it make the room feel larger ?

Hi Phill,
Most of the rooms in the house are done in deep paint colors, one room in fact is eggplant. I think it makes the rooms feel warmer. DW gets all the credit.Ditch
That's beautiful work... looks very much like how I picture my library (whenever I have a house with a room to make into a library). Nice balance of books and knick-knacks and the trim is beautiful.
Do the panels open or are they solid?
Kyt,
Panels are actually doors where all the CPU stuff is.Ditch
Very nice work....:)
Thanks Stan!!!Ditch

Well, as long as she's rubbing your neck and feeding you good, I guess it's OK.
