Finally retired the 36" CRT and replaced it with a 61" DLP and swapped out my fluorescent ceiling lights for some sconces with dimmer. Before: After: (with lights on max) (Lights dimmed) Camera flash lit up the area. Now I just need some pictures, acoustic panels or art.

Very nice!
What's funny is that several people I know call sconces scones. I guess they could put scones on their walls....

Nice going Stymie, I betcha those lights really liven up the place and that big TV must really add some ambiance. Your place looks extremely nice, and it must sound incredible.

Thanks guys. The scones make a huge difference. I don't have to rely on a lamp any longer for finding/using my remotes and the amber glow is pretty cool. Oh yeah, the TV is pretty cool too. Just got done watching the Orange Bowl while listening to some smooth jazz via my Squeeze Box. Life is good. At least until the baby wakes up.

Very nice, Sty; the new lighting gives the room a warmer ambience.

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.

I love the sconces, but the blanket over your chair really ties the room together.

I might just have to add some sconces and take out the recessed lights, as I really like that look, wait the kids would have those knocked off the walls in no time which is why I went with the recessed lighting.
