I guess I am the regular, since I just installed a new custom cabinet in our entry way. Here is a picture of the two sided display, well it actually has 4 sides John. You can see through the two main sides which means you can walk around the cabinet and see the other side of the lighthouses without having to handle them . It is 7 feet tall, 6 feet wide and 14 inches deep. There are sliding glass doors on the one side and solid glass on the other. The lighting is a combination of halogen and xenon lights, with three overhead lights and two strips going down opposite corners. It still is a little dark on the bottom shelf but much lighter than my other cabinets are on the bottom shelves. It makes for a great entry way into our house. It really helped having a brother-in-law, who is a master carpenter, when constructing a one of a kind item like our cabinet.
I closed the topic and started it over for a couple of reasons. First it was getting a little long but secondly and more important was to correct the spelling of the topic. Since I am addicted to the collection of Harbour Lights, contagious is a word I know first hand.
Part Two:
John's wish is my command (reference to note below). Below are several links that you can click to get bigger views of my new cabinet (can't tell I like it can you?). The first is a bigger version of the shot above. It is shot with a fill light kicked up into the ceiling so the grain of the Oak shows in the picture.

http://www.HarbourLights.com/brady/cabinet2.jpg The number 3.jpg picture is shot once again from the room through the cabinet towards the entryway, just the opposite of 2.jpg. The dark object you see on the right through the cabinet is our front door.

http://www.HarbourLights.com/brady/cabinet4.jpg Last but not least, number 5.jpg picture is shot from the same location as the number 1.jpg except that the only lights on in the room are the ones in the cabinet.
http://www.HarbourLights.com/brady/cabinet5.jpg My wife's brother-in-law Joe, my very favorite carpenter in the whole world} is starting on two more cabinets to complete the Brady "Great Room" makeover into "The Great Harbour Lights Room". Rod I will be sure to share a couple of pictures upon the arrival of the twins (reference to note below by Rod).
