That map mural is beautiful as is the rest! That is a goal of mine, thanks for some great inspiration!

Finally got the walk-in finished!

Due to some code issues with clearance for the furnace - which is on the other side of the right-hand wall - it's narrower than I had originally envisioned.

I'm still very happy with it even though I had go with deeper shelving units on the left which created a difficult to access corner space in the back. Silver lining is the boxes in that corner are going to be forgotten about for years since it's so inaccessible.

The walls are tongue and groove mahogany. All of the shelving and drawers are Spanish cedar as are the counter top and display shelf that run along the back wall.

I have a humidification unit but haven't had to even unpack it yet as the space stays rock solid at 66/66. I wouldn't mind the humidity dropping to the low 60s, but I'm not going to screw with it.

As you walk in, there's a 72 bottle corner wine rack on the left. The temp is perhaps a touch high for wine but not so much that I'm going to notice a difference.

And the Partagas sign looks like it was meant for the space. Shilala made that a bunch of years ago, and I got it in a trade. It's beautiful and really makes the whole thing pop.

Hard to tell from the way the cigars are arranged, but I have plenty of room for additional boxes. My guess is I'm only using about 60% of the shelf space (not including the counter). But seeing all the boxes out of the coolers has actually tamped back my buying a bit.

Overall, very happy with how it all came out.

It looks awesome, Vin!

Beautiful, Vin, can't wait to grace it again.

Wow! That's an amazing space. I agree about the Partagas sign. Scott did a great job.

I am sure I can fit a cot in there

Looks great!

Nice job on your walk in! One day when I’m done moving I hope I can have something similar.

Edeustace · 09-15-2018, 09:12 PM

That is a beautiful walk-in and the Partagas sign is a great piece!

Peace of the Lord be with you.
