My completely homemade desk:

 
 
Had to make an adapter to get the samsung syncmaster up there:

Holy moly that's a great looking work space

 Your desk is excellent looking as well as being very functional. If it was in a store I'd definitely buy it. It's just my style.
 
Given the drum set, I guess you don't have any neighbours to worry about. I can rarely use my speakers.

Love it! I use back lighting on my TV, but never thought to use it for my workstation or the room. Very nice and may steal the desk lighting idea when I build my new desk next year.

Great pictures man.  I always wanted to get some ambient lighting for my monitor, something like this would be awesome.

Why you no post closeup of desk?!
Lol, very nice and clean, I imagine that room is great for watching movies with that mood lighting.

Never mind. I read it again and saw "Phillips Hue." I will hit amazon to see what those are.
 
Eek! Is this what you used?

bcollier,
 
Is the color due to paint or LEDs? Love the purplish hue. If it is the LEDs, you mind providing a link to Amazon or whatever? If not, no worries.

I finally took a few shots of my home theaters/PC setup along with my headphone DAC/Amp (they aren't great, but it's hard to get good pictures with this type of screen space and flash.  Then with no flash I get artifacts until I find the right ISO setting.  However this will give you the idea:

Sorry, went AWOL on the thread for a bit. The Phillips Hue kit i'm using is the one for BR30 bulbs (indoor floods), and then I bought a 4th bulb as these were replacing 4 75w bulbs in the ceiling. The original impetus was heat reduction --- I've got a lot of electronics stacked in the room, and the closet on the far wall houses the amps / video game consoles / some of the gear that runs the living room on the other side of the wall. Having another 300W rain down from the ceiling was a little nuts. This house was built in '04 and went totally nutty on the quantity of 75w incandescent floods. I'm slowly swapping them out, but the rest of the house is going on much cheaper LED bulbs, and in some cases Belkin WeMo switches for lights where timer or remote access would be useful (front of house lights, backyard, inside family room for the dogs, etc)
 
But since I was going LED, the idea of being able to run colors and instantly switch from respectable home office to game / movie central was very appealing. Since I loved the ceiling Hue lights so much, I purchased some Hue light LED strips for behind the TV, under the desk, behind my PC monitors, and then under the small secondary wall desk at the back of the room. I keep the LEDs off for the normal office lighting scenes, but then have them as accent colors for the fun stuff -- including the orange glow in those Halloween pics. It's hard to see, because I was rightly called out for omitting a desk close up, but I also have a Razer Chroma keyboard / mouse combo with programmable colors. So they got in on the purple / orange action as well.
 
There are definitely more cost-effective colored LED solutions out there, but the Phillips app ecosystem / api is really solid.

Beautiful room. Gorgeous in fact!
 
All you are missing is a big screen over the fireplace, though, why distract from the guitar, receiver, and tube amp.
 
What receiver are you using? Is that scotch or bourbon?

Thank you!
 
Sorry, old picture.  What you're seeing is a Marantz CD player.  I've completed the ripping of all my CDs and now use the MacBook Air as my transport.  The Vincent pre drives a Vincent amp which drives the Thiels.  The room isn't big enough for a flatscreen over the fireplace, I've been on the lookout for the perfect guitar to hang in that venerated location.
 
Good eye on the drink, it's actually a glass of Jose Cuervo Family Reserve.  Love my tequila...
