Thanks, Lefty. I, too was lookin' for those southpaw desks.

Welcome to the shrinking staircase! The solidness of the bannister blocks the right hand view of the upper stairs, making them look like they're getting tinier and tinier... Gorgeous work, Motts!

OK, I've looked at a ton of Motts galleries now, and amazing tho his pics are, this is the first one I've seen where I would swear someone is standing upstairs in the window on the right. Just sayin'...
