Great, great job, great choices.

It simply doesn't get any better than this, does it?

Oh, that baby! Swoon.
And the house is great, too.

Ooh, not my style at all, but kudos to the creativity they represent!

Thanks, that was helpful. Yes, I have kids, and oh, those baths were wooooonderful when I was preggers. They are nice also once in while for total relaxation- a splurge of water,
ScuttledCuttle, but certainly more green than, oh, a flight anywhere... SAVE THE BATHTUBS ! :)

I second the "small trick, big difference" running feature idea!

my friends know my kids (especially my rambunctious 4yo) and would think I was nuts to build it! :)

I'm with Sagekitten, but would add that the difference between standing in front of a diffuse light source, such as a florescent ceiling light, and standing in front of a spotlight-like light source, such as you can get with track lighting, is significant. I think you would have dark shadows on your work if you installed track lighting and tried to use any of that light to work with. The under cabinet lighting would then be absolutely required.

I heard a lecture once that claimed all the energy we are saving by using CFLs is being compensated for by the increased number of lighting fixtures in our homes, specifically under cabinet lighting.

Is there a gorgeous diffuse light source you can install as the central light, and "go lighter" in the under cabinet lighting? (pun intended).

Oh, thanks so much- you have solved a major problem of mine: my husbands 4000 comic books in IVAR shelving in our bedroom.

here's one I predict will end: tearing out bathroom cabinets and counters and replacing them with pedestal sinks... peple are going to start wanting that storage back. Same with open shelving in the kitchen. Bring back fuzzy and quiet wall to wall carpets! see, The "trends" determine what kinds of things are available at a reasonable price, so "do what you love" is a bit idealistic...
