Talk Rands;

Love the cave: mmmmm...Russian red. It reminds me of the colors found in the International rooms at The Cathedral of Learning in Pittsburgh Pa.

Your room is set up for completionist design. My cave is set up for incrementalist design: My cave is a lab/studio: lavender walls, the laptop is actually sitting on a drafting table and not the mahogany desk, and rows of orchid flasks. I need these props to get into an Incrementalist zone. I do, however, have a talisman like you : a enameled chinese cloisonne box shaped like a gourd :-)
