The host salvaged his original showroom's front door 12 years ago and built his current office around an air-navigation theme. Patterns on the door, carpets, ceiling, and walls mimic a pilot's flight map, connecting analog navigation to digital mapping today.

I see your door over there is quite interesting. What inspired you with that decision?
This is my second showroom we've been in. In my first showroom, this actually was the front door going into the showroom that I originally built about 12 years ago. This is probably about the only piece I've really salvaged out of that showroom, and I used it for the door for my office.

So even though everything today is very computerized, all the mapping and all and my navigation and all that stuff is pretty automated. In the old days, people had maps to follow and arrow routes like highways for cars. These are sort of the routes that they flew over each different city. So it's just really to follow through that theme of air navigation. And that's what we used every place in our carpets and in our ceilings and in our wall panels.
