November 16, 20214 yr Author Popular Post comment_275302 Today was finish some of the interior shelving, complete the prep on the drawer fronts/sides and get the router table set up for dove tails. I also got the wood pendants done for the sconces. Those sconces are nerve racking because they are irreplaceable and a mistake would probably relegate me to the guest house for life. They are cast pewter and frosted glass from the 1920’s. They came out of an Art Deco theater in Sydney. Paul Report

November 23, 20214 yr Popular Post comment_276014 STUNNING Paul. The mitered frames really do add extra character to the doors. Great choice to go with that look. What's the special detail work in each piece in the row of ceiling panels? Report
November 23, 20214 yr Author Popular Post comment_276028 The ceiling was a design we have had in the works for quite a while. The first part was building the LED light source above each tile. Each tile has a thin layer of black walnut laminated to a a base of white maple which allowed us to router a design through just the walnut showing the maple underneath and then also have components that are router all the way through the tile to allow light from the led panel to shine through. The idea is that it has detail that shows through in daylight as well as at night with the led lights on. Paul Report

November 23, 20214 yr Popular Post comment_276047 I've a feeling that once completed this room will rival any movie house I've ever been in! Both for design and sound. I love to tour the old theaters of the 1930's when art deco ruled Report
