Are those recessed lights in the living room new? I can't tell from the "before" pics.
If so, how difficult are they to install? Does it require removing the drywall from the ceiling?

thanks for all the positive comments guys
yeah they're recessed lights; 6" non ic Halo cans. they were a snap to install because there's an attic above that room. all i had to do was cut the holes for the lights with a drywall saw and get the wiring down to the light switch junction box. i did end up replacing the 2 switch junction box to a 3 switch unit too i guess (they're all on a dimmer). all in all it was piece of cake though. took about 3 hrs. the hardest part was measuring to figure out where each light should be and making sure there were no studs in the way.

Looks really good Mark. Color choices and furniture, lighting, accesories, all get A +.
Looks like a good place to share that hooker.
Awesome!

Amazing. That is a sweet remodel. I like the colors you used. The crown molding is a nice finishing touch.

hey my thread's back again 
thanks for the compliments!
it folds against the wall, but not flushly. It moves horizontally left to right on two swingarms.
funny thing is I made that monitor mount using shelf swingarms from my ikea 'jerker' desk and some metal cable (gotta love ikea names) . I was surprised how good the finished product looked. i'm too cheap to pay 90+ bucks for half decent a fp monitor mount.
