I love it! This looks so much like a room I could live in. It even has paintings...are those yours? They look like the Bob Ross technique paintings that my DH (rarely) does. 
(And who doesn't love Bob Ross? His attitude works for sewing too - no mistakes, just happy accidents!!)

shelf brackets
In a previous post 6-28? you will see the brackets I fabricated from 1/8" x 1-1/2 x 1-1/2 angle iron. I also do metal and wood working, which allows me to complete many projects in house, and decided what the end results would be, a system strong to support about 400+ lbs. dead weight. I cut and welded the brackets to 90 degrees, drilled 2 ea. 3/8" holes and used 5/16 lag screws to secure into the wall studs. The shelving is 3/4 x 10 pine boards. The face molding was milled from recycled pine, stained and top coated with water base polyurethane.
The painting technique is "Wet-on-Wet" introduced by William "Bill" Alexander. Bob Ross tutored under Bill ultimately becoming Bill's biggest compotator with Bob duplicating all the methods taught by Bill.

Steve,
I actually contemplated hanging a few heads from the ceiling, sorta like the remote controlled airplanes I use to fly and did have a 4' wing span Stinson hanging in the room till 2 yrs. ago. Janice said no flying sewing machines!!
