The first two give you an idea, hopefully, of the rearrangement of the room and location of the 'country' layout section. The closest shelf bracket is 24" deep, the two under the timesaver (set in place just for size/scale reference...it's not going to be part of this layout) are 18.5", and the short one on the side wall is 9". The layout will be 24" deep, about as far from the wall as the front of the computer cabinet. Along the side wall the framing will extend to 30", but only about 9 or 10" wide. I used the 24" bracket where the bridge section will attach to carry the main lines across the room.
The third shot is looking beneath the timesaver, to see the clearance between the computer cabinet and the shelving. Whew! It's nice when you've measured correctly!
As I worked my way around the wall I was nervous since the brackets appeared to be too low. But the cabinet is only 49" tall, and my brackets were at 50", so I knew it would work...still, it's nice to see it in place and know it works because it's there.
I have a busy couple of days today and tomorrow, so I probably won't get any work done on the other side of the room until Friday or Saturday. I'm already planning and scheming on how to build the framing & backdrop. Now I need to find some thin, flexible material for the backdrop. I'd like to try and cove the corners down to below 6" radius.

I may not be a rivet counter, but I sure do like rivets!
