I swear it feels like I'm shopping (window shopping) for high-end furniture today with these beautiful galleys and interior woodwork.

Just today in another thread I discovered Airspeed's galley, where I definitely feel like I'm in Copenhagen Furniture for a Scandinavian style...

And now with you, I'm somewhere in Scottsdale "just passing by" a high-end Southwest/Mexican custom furniture store. >>What a perfect tear for Arizona - just fantastic! Can't wait to see it finished!

P.s. (Note: The shopping bit is just play along to make a point... not really my thing.) :lol: But I do see many of you top builders more like top teardrop "designers" too! :thumbsup:
