H became obsessed with coffered ceilings and I'm so glad he did - we really love it, makes the room feel very cozy & snuggly. I see them all over your city when I visit (because I notice them more now!)
@mrsspunky, it is Duron's Temptress (8516A). We have one shade lighter on our bedroom walls (Thunder Gray - 8515D) - they are both the perfect blue with grey undertones for what we were looking for.
It looks great! I really like the design of the handles on the drawers and doors of the built-ins.
Do you happen to like those lamps on the built-ins? And are they a good quality, and how easily do they adjust? I've been looking at ordering one like that for an oddly placed light in our kitchen, but I need it to be able to adjust fairly easily so we can task light with it when needed. I'm skeptical because (if it's the same one I've seen on Lamps Plus) it's half the price of other similar ones.

Amy, I was inspired in a design magazine with the lamps in the built-in, and they were a KEY piece of my vision for the bookshelves from the beginning. I ended up buying 3 different lights online, and these were actually the least expensive (MM win!) and worked the best in the space.
Now, we NEVER have adjusted them after we got them installed and aligned, so I can't testify to how their adjustment ease works over time, but they were very easy to adjust when we installed them.

No lie, that is the exact light I've been stalking (hoping for an even better price) for weeks! We won't need to adjust it too often, so I'm less concerned about longevity of the pieces, but ease of adjustment is important to me. I'm glad to hear you like them. I've been hesitant to order because it had no reviews, so thank you. And thank you for the ebates reminder as well!

I will go on and leave a review . Since I had the same concern!
I love the look of the blue against the wood. They compliment each other so well! My shelves wouldn't be that full, either, even though a read a TON. I keep a ton of books at my office, check out from the library and read on my iPad. But if you want to fill them up cheaply some cities have free book places or obviously thrift shops are good bet.
@foodielicious - of course, it was $13k all in, and split ~50 / 50 between ceiling and cabinets. Our guy is VERY reasonable and super duper high quality, but hope this gives you a little bit of a benchmark.

I love the color! We have the same one on our bedroom closet!
