damn, i guess i dig them. They definitly are over used. Though, I do believe it makes for good lighting if using a window or lamp, giving a sense of intimacy. I'm sure you would look great in a bedroom set. Though, knowing you have been recently or still are making sets, it probably doesn't seem creative. Originality isn't everything, if you can take something and make it your own and people love it, then you have suceeded. Maybe these sets haven't suceeded like you think you could or they should. Sometimes it's just a difference in opinion. Anyway, from the photos you posted it seems like you are on your way to very nice set. Good luck again.
now that was a killer set!
