Here are some added images of the front room in its current state. The first image shows the wall color "Wolf" next to the trim color...something like "Frozen Phlegm". The shelves are painted "Half-Tone" (a real cop out, if you ask me...N.B. Martha Stewart holds the current best paint color name with "Pudding Mold"). The bottom picture allows you to see all three colors on one wall (and the old door color as I have not yet painted the inside of the closet).

The bottom image also shows "things to be". The shelves will run over the two doors to the wall and there will be a very narrow vertical bookshelf between them. It should, I hope, look very cool with nice narrow tomes in it...

The last extremely cool element will be the "notch" built into the case at the wall above the little space behind the closet door. If all goes according to plan, there will be a notch there that will receive and hold the library ladder that will fit into spaced grooves that will run along the fascia of all the cases. Shelves running 11 feet require a good library ladder. I just hope it all works out as currently conceived.
