Tools of the trade back a few decades ago. I still prefer the folding lufkin rule for inside measurements. The spiral ratchet is just for nostalgia and to get a laugh out of the youngins.
And some of the crap work im going to fix.

seem funny to see a multi tool blade on the same table with those older tools.
I love the old tools...but have adapted. Multitool was definitely a game changer. I worked for a gentleman from Portugal, who started as an apprentice at age 11, sent away from his home to work for a clock cabinet maker who treated him poorly. They built these beautiful and intricate grandfather clock casework as well as many others...ALL with hand tools. He came to this country and established his own company and became a success almost immediately. He and his sons now produce and install quality millwork for large commercial jobs.
More pics of the rehab house....nothing great.....not fun like new work.

Is that a palm tree motif on the wainscoting or am I seeing things?

I have three issues.
1) The TV above the fireplace as noted
2) The wall space left above and below a 16:9 flatscreen
3) Not sure why they didn’t install a proper recessed AV box to ensure the power plug or HDMI doesn’t interfere with the screen that likely will be angled down
Excellent analysis...now go look up how to spell Canadian

How do you say ...spence was incorrect but is using his wit instead of admitting his error.

Your probably right about all of that. But are the built ins ok...or...too tall too wide...wrong color...too plain...too ornate not funtional...just ok...nice...good idea....bad idea. Just kidding I'm not that impressed with my work either.

Can’t go wrong with white. Not sure I’m a fan of the beadboard. Detail is appropriate but hard to tell all of your mistakes from the photos.
As for width it seems like on most of them you were constrained by previous construction so they are good for what you had.

I’m not understanding that section of drywall at an angle about 30” above the floor to the left of the shower?
