Finally finished!!! (Dial-ups beware)

I still have to move a few things back into my office, but for all practical purposes, my home office is complete -

My main work area



Left of the my main work area. The printer and scanner are on roll out glides. Water feature is something my wife bought for it. The shelf above the TV will be a DVD player, which is currently in our living room because our main DVD player is in the shop. This pic also shows the backlighting that goes all the way around, except in front of the windows.



Secondary work area



Back wall



And the built in bookshelf



And the colors DO NOT interfere with nap time!

The women have to wear grass skirts with coconut shells covering their boobies.

Don Ho attire appropriate for men.

LOL, I like it. My first thoughts were whether or not Mrs. dk comes in with a grass skirt or not.

We did spend time in Nassau, Bahamas researching design elements back in February. So I figure at lest 6 weeks there again for the designer (ms. dkh) and myself for starters. Have to make sure all details are taken into consideration.

Wow, that turned out nice DKH. You should enter it into a home contest in some magazine. Nice work on both your parts. Cool bookshelf.

I go to the Bahamas a LOT for work and Nassau is not very high on my list for vacationing spots. I'd recommend Rum Cay, Elbow Cay, Bimini, or Abaco if you want some additional inspiration.

Oh, and Bart. Men do not have drinks with umbrellas. Your mancard is close to being suspended. Soon you'll be getting your hair cut at a salon with the bikini wax special.
