I hate this guy because I love his flat.

Great work, C. The devil is in the details, and you've got the devil by the tail.

I live in a 1924 building in San Francisco, where the cable enters the unit near the window in my dininutive dining room. First, I mounted a splitter near the window on the baseboard trim. From there, I run a cable up the wall to a small shelf, to my cable modem and wireless router. From the other "OUT" connection on the splitter I run nearly 75' of coaxial above the baseboard and over/around two door frames to cover the roughly 20' from the splitter to the television. It was a chore to run the cable properly, but cable itself is relatively cheap. With enough of it and a staple gun to keep the cable in place, you can get around to virtually any location you want. At it's terminus near the cable box, I've got another splitter. If I ever want or need to move my cable modem, I've got a connection on that end of the studio for the cable.

Great facility.

Lousy staff.

Finally - after 10 years of wanting and waiting and panting over their selection - I dropped the hammer on three of their pieces during their most recent sale, last week. I haven't received the deliveries yet, but I am SO excited to place these teak items in my home.

I have another piece of theirs, that I bought second-hand from craigslist, and there IS a rather large split in one of the seams on the table top. (The Asia Side Table) Still looks great, but it's a disappointing characteristic of this type of construction. :(

The kitchen is "cucine." The fridge is "sub zero." Is that - sniff, sniff - is that "pretention" I smell?

All kidding aside, I greatly admire your taste, but - once again - don't see enough of your space to render an opinion.

What part of town are you in?

Well done - the color palatte, the proportion of the furniture pieces to the size of the space. I'm envious of your choices.
