When every one was posting there "office" on the other topic i was right in the middle of redoing my office so i couldn't post a pic. I decided to post my whole redo. Think i over did the shelf? LOL There is 14ga romex wiring all on 40watt bulbs and on a dimmer. The all thread is 5/16" with 3/8" chrome water tubes from home depot with the flange cut off. The laminate is a real dark gray with black specks. It matches my desk. Looking for anything from Hoosier Pete, Platolene 500 and Red Bird.
