YEah, I had to go through them all again too.. Awesome. Love the Draw! Love the Mug shelves. Love it all. And what you can't see or feel is the Smell. Fresh grass and bamboo and then the ghosts leaving signs everywhere. BBen, Just plain Fantastic. You have outdone yourself this time, however, I believe Eli has been helping you all along with this job. Well done to you both and Tiki Lee, what a lucky guy!

Damn that's a gorgeous room! Nice work Ben!. By the way, if it's not an ancient family secret, I'd love to know more about your "nicotine in a can". I'm doing some work up here in The Alibi, and there is, as you can imagine, a 50-year buildup of nicotine that we'll have to match with any new construction. I was planning on using Bullseye Amber Shellac, with a buildup until I got what I needed. Maybe a few drops of colorant if the buildup takes too long. Do you have a better suggestion?
Thanks in advance for the advice, and thank you for being such an inspiration. I can only hope that my work looks half as good as yours!

The room's almost done, other than the years ahead of finding great pieces to populate the walls. We moved the bed and nightstands back in there this past weekend. It's looking awesome. I'll take some photos this week, especially some at night. The room really hums when you see it lit up at night.
Ben delivered the cool dresser, which is now in place. In a couple weeks he'll be back to put the finishing touches on a small adjoining closet.
Finally, I'll take a couple of movies so you can see the effect of the flicker lights; they're very convincing.

Ben & T-Lee,
Nice high-quality job. I really like the mix of materials; especially the carved wood. The room really looks magnificant. Keep the pictures coming!
