The windows for the home office have still not come in yet, and the painter can't start till they arrive. But the carpenter did do some little tweaks I suggested for the shelving and cabinets.

Top bracket is now centered on roofline peak |
I didn't like how the top support bracket on the topmost shelf was not centered on the peak of the roofline. He had centered it on the window, which is a logical thing to do, but the window isn't centered on the room! There was something about it that kept bugging me. Now it's better. I also wanted him to drill some holes in the base of the shelves that sit on top of the cabinets, one on each side (you can't see them in this picture).

Cabinet doors installed; hate the knobs |
There are electrical outlets underneath the shelves inside the cabinets and I think I may want to run a lamp cord up through the hole so a little lighting can sit there. On the other side where the desk will be I think I want to have some bookshelf speakers or a boombox to play CD's while I craft (yes, I still play CD's, I'm a child of the 20th Century, so sue me). You can also see that the cabinet doors have been installed. I'm not crazy about the knobs, I'm going to search for some that are more substantial.
I'm going away on a long business trip so won't be back to the house for a month. By that time the windows will be in place and the room freshly painted. I'll come back to a new room all ready to be furnished :)
